APPLICATION INFORMATION:
A cotton or cast sock will enhance comfort
– NOT INCLUDED
1) PREPARE BRACE –
• Unfasten straps, remove front panel, and open liner.
2) APPLY BRACE –
• While seated, place foot in brace positioning the heel against the back of
the brace. Wrap liner around foot and then leg (Fig. A).
• Replace front panel: Position front panel so the Aircast logo is over the
toes and the upper part of the panel is secured to the liner (Fig. B).
• Secure straps from bottom to top (Fig. C). Tighten until snug and
comfortable.
3) ADJUST AIRCELL SUPPORT –
The STANDARD walking brace aircells are initially deflated
• Begin inflation on injured side first. Turn the SELECTOR found on the
right-side of the brace to the appropriate number (Fig. D). Number 1
inflates the aircell on the right-side and Number 2 inflates the aircell on
the left-side. The “lock” position should be used once both aircells are
inflated. This prevents accidental deflation.
• To inflate aircell, place finger on top of
large
inflation pump found on the
top right side of brace (Fig E). Pump until aircell feels snug.
• To inflate other aircell, rotate SELECTOR to the appropriate number and
then press and release large inflation pump. Pump until aircell feels snug.
When both aircells are inflated, rotate SELECTOR to “lock” position.
• In the event of over-inflation, deflate aircells.
4) DEFLATE AIRCELLS –
• To deflate aircells, turn the SELECTOR found on the right-side of the brace
to the proper aircell number (Fig. D).
• Press and hold finger on
small
release button found on the top right-side
of brace (Fig. F).
• Deflate until pressure is comfortable.
NOTE:
Deflate aircells
before removing brace
for proper fit when reapplying.
NOTE:
Higher pressure provides more support when walking, lower pressure
is more comfortable when sitting or reclining. Pressure can also be
adjusted by tightening or loosening straps.
NOTE:
The shell can be trimmed with a cast saw or cast scissors to
accommodate larger calves.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
