Clinical Applications

Primary Indications:

• Severe ankle sprains requiring extended immobilization
• Post-operative stabilization and protection
• Metatarsal and mid-foot fractures (stable and displaced)
• Achilles tendon injuries and repairs
• Severe soft tissue trauma with significant edema
• Grade II-III ligamentous injuries
• Hindfoot and ankle complex injuries
• Bunionectomy and forefoot surgical procedures
• Diabetic foot protection and offloading

Treatment Settings: Essential for orthopedic surgery centers, emergency departments, sports medicine clinics, podiatry practices, physical therapy facilities, and home care rehabilitation. Supports complex injury management requiring aggressive edema control and extended immobilization periods.

Revolutionary Duplex Aircell Technology

Overlapping Pneumatic Compression: Patented overlapping posterior and distal Duplex aircells deliver intermittent pneumatic compression proven to achieve three-times faster edema reduction compared to standard compression boots. This advanced system actively manages swelling throughout the healing process, accelerating recovery and reducing complications associated with persistent inflammation.

Customizable Inflation System: Pre-inflated front panel aircell combined with intuitive integrated inflation system allows independent adjustment of each aircell without handbulbs or external pumps. Patients and clinicians customize compression levels in real-time, optimizing therapeutic benefits as recovery progresses.

Enhanced Protection and Comfort

Full-Shell Coverage: Durable semi-rigid polypropylene shell provides comprehensive limb protection from heel through mid-calf, with enclosed toe cover preventing injury to healing digits. Heat-moldable and trimmable shell customizes precisely to individual anatomy, contouring around malleoli for sustained comfort during extended wear.

SoftStrike Technology: Advanced shock absorption system integrated into the lightweight rocker sole reduces heel pain and dissipates impact forces throughout the gait cycle. Lab-tested low-profile rocker design enables natural walking patterns while minimizing stress on healing structures.

Three-Strap Stabilization: Strategically positioned strapping system distributes pressure evenly across the foot, ankle, and lower leg, preventing edema pooling while maintaining secure immobilization without compromising circulation or comfort.

Clinical Advantages

Proven Edema Management: Clinically documented three-times faster edema reduction accelerates healing timelines and reduces complications associated with prolonged swelling. Critical for post-surgical recovery and traumatic injuries requiring aggressive inflammation control.

Extended Coverage Protection: Higher profile design (13.6" to 18.2" height) provides superior stabilization for complex ankle and lower leg injuries compared to standard walking boots, while enclosed toe cover prevents secondary injuries during recovery.

Patient Compliance Engineering: Sleek open-frame design with ventilation ports reduces heat buildup and moisture accumulation. Lightweight construction minimizes fatigue during extended wear, while comfortable fit and modern appearance encourage consistent therapeutic use.

Professional Customization: Heat-moldable shell accommodates complex anatomical variations, surgical hardware, and specific pathology requirements. Integrated sock liner enhances comfort and moisture management during prolonged immobilization periods.

Traction and Safety: Non-marking, skid-resistant rubber tread provides superior grip across varied surfaces, reducing fall risk during ambulatory recovery phases.

Available through insurance billing (AADL, NIHB, private insurance, WCB with PDAC codes L4360/L4361) and direct purchase. Professional fitting services recommended for optimal sizing, shell customization, and compression system adjustment to maximize therapeutic outcomes.
