Quick guide from the manual
The Aircast AirSelect Standard is designed for moderate support, specifically for stable fractures of the lower leg, foot, and ankle, severe ankle sprains, and post-operative use. It features two customizable distal aircells for compression.
Application
- Unfasten all straps and remove the front panel.
- Open the liner.
- While seated, place your foot into the brace, ensuring the heel is positioned against the back of the brace.
- Wrap the liner securely around your foot and leg.
- Replace the front panel, ensuring the Aircast logo is positioned over the toes.
- Secure the straps starting from the bottom and moving to the top, tightening until snug and comfortable.
Adjusting Aircell Compression
The aircells are initially deflated. To adjust compression:
- Turn the SELECTOR dial on the right side of the brace to the desired aircell number (1 for the right-side aircell, 2 for the left-side aircell).
- Press and release the LARGE inflation pump located on the top right side of the brace until the aircell feels snug.
- Repeat the process for the other aircell if necessary.
Deflating Aircells
To deflate the aircells:
- Turn the SELECTOR dial to the appropriate aircell number.
- Press and hold the SMALL release button located on the top right side of the brace.
- Continue until the pressure is comfortable.
Note: Always deflate aircells before removing the brace to ensure a proper fit when reapplying. Higher pressure provides more support while walking, while lower pressure is more comfortable when sitting or reclining.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The foam liner may be hand-washed in 86°F/30°C water using a mild detergent. Air-dry the liner completely. Do not use a dryer or any other heat source for drying.
