Common Questions About Air Splints

Aircast air splints are engineered for specific injuries. The ankle models provide 360-degree compression and stabilization for sprains and fractures. Foot and heel variants address plantar fasciitis or Achilles issues. Selection should match your diagnosed injury location and the required support.
The pneumatic aircell allows for precise, adjustable compression. You can inflate or deflate the air cell using the integrated pump to manage swelling, increase comfort as healing progresses, and ensure a secure, personalized fit that adapts to changes in your condition.
While some models like the Low-Profile Air Splint are designed for daily wear with footwear, many air splints are optimized for recovery periods that require limited weight-bearing. Always follow your clinician’s advice on activity and weight-bearing clearance for your specific injury stage.
Accessories like liners, heel lifts, and replacement tongues are designed to enhance comfort, hygiene, and the precise fit of your air splint. A liner sleeve reduces skin irritation, a heel lift corrects leg length discrepancy, and a replacement tongue restores the secure, adjustable support system.
Aircast air splints are constructed from durable, medical-grade materials. The outer shell provides structure, while the inner aircell is engineered for consistent pressure. Regular cleaning of the liner and shell as directed helps maintain hygiene and product integrity throughout your recovery period.
Proper sizing is critical for effective support. Measure your foot and ankle circumference as specified in the sizing chart for each model. The adjustable aircell offers some flexibility, but starting with the correct base size ensures optimal immobilization, comfort, and therapeutic compression.
