DJO02AR Brace Ankle Air Stirrup Standard Right Aircast
- Air-Stirrup Standard Right Ankle Brace - preferred for the acute injury with most adults. It is 10.5" in length, provides the most support and offers the largest area of coverage for the recently injured ankle. The Air-Stirrup Ankle Brace is the brace that made functional management practical. It is perhaps the most widely used brace in orthopedics. More than 25 published studies document its efficacy and versatility with sprains, fractures, and chronic instability. Resists inversion more than taping, yet normal flexion is virtually unrestricted. Graduated, pulsating compression "milks away" swelling and edema. Aircells are pre-inflated and rarely require adjustment. Anatomically contoured shells conform closely to the ankle with minimal bulk in the shoe. Comfort and security encourage early return to function - protected. Durable - guaranteed to last as long as required for the patient. Indications: acute ankle sprain, stable malleolar fractures, post ORIF, distal tib/fib stress fractures, hemiparesis, and hemiplegia. Air-Stirrup Ankle Braces are made in five models. Because of the conformability of the aircells, there is a wide overlap among the models recommended for indication and patient size.
