Aircast manufactures medical orthopedic braces, pneumatic walking boots, and vascular support systems designed to aid recovery from ankle, foot, and leg injuries.
Aircast, a subsidiary of Enovis (formerly DJO Global), is a prominent name in orthopedic care, specializing in the functional management of injuries. For over 30 years, Aircast has set the standard for ankle sprain management with products like the Air-Stirrup and a comprehensive line of pneumatic walking boots. The brand focuses on patented pneumatic technology that utilizes air cells to provide pulsatile compression, reducing swelling and pain while offering stability throughout the healing process.
Their product portfolio spans from ankle braces and cold therapy systems to advanced walking boots such as the AirSelect and SP Walker series. These devices are widely prescribed by orthopedic professionals to treat stable fractures, severe sprains, ligament injuries, and post-operative conditions. By combining rigid support with comfortable, adjustable liners, Aircast helps patients maintain mobility while ensuring the necessary protection for effective recovery.

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
The foam liner in most Aircast walking boots can be hand-washed in cold water with a mild detergent. After washing, allow it to air-dry completely. Do not put the liner in a dryer or use any direct heat source to dry it.
Locate the inflation valves (usually near the ankle or on the shell). Insert the provided hand bulb tip into the valve and squeeze to inflate until the fit is snug but comfortable. Always start inflating the valve on the side of the injury first. To deflate, insert the opposite tip of the bulb or press the valve release button.
The standard Aircast walker boot can be used outdoors, but it is recommended to wear a hygiene cover or clean the sole before returning indoors to prevent tracking dirt. Specific hygiene covers are sold separately for indoor use to protect floors.
It is generally not recommended to get the boot wet. If your doctor allows you to remove the boot for showering, you may do so. If you must keep it on, use a waterproof cast protector to keep the device dry.
The AirSelect Elite is typically indicated for stable fractures of the foot, ankle, and lower leg, severe ankle sprains, and post-operative immobilization. It provides pneumatic support and protection to aid healing.
