Overview of the Aircast Boot
The Aircast boot is designed to provide immobilization and support for ankle injuries, ideal for patients transitioning from plaster casts.
Key Features:

- Solid construction to ensure stability and protection.
Using the Aircast Boot
To apply the Aircast boot:
- Insert the foot into the front section and secure with three Velcro straps.
- Adjust the air chambers by pumping air using the button and dial system:
- Set dial to 1 and pump until firm.
- Switch to 2, pump, then to 3, and finally lock it off for optimal fit.

Considerations and Maintenance
Weight-Bearing: Designed for weight-bearing depending on the severity of the injury.
