As with its FP Walker™ predessor NEW AIRCAST AIRSELECT™ Standard Walker has a lightweight, durable semi-rigid shell that helps support the limb while providing full-shell protection. Lining the shell are overlapping aircells the patented Duplex™ Ankle Brace aircell system. These aircells provide intermittent pneumatic compression for efficient swelling reduction, callus formation and can be custom-inflated using the fully integrated inflation technology for a "total contact" fit.
