Short Description
The Aircast SP Walker (Short Pneumatic) provides medical-grade protection in a lightweight, low-profile design. Specifically engineered for forefoot and midfoot injuries, it features adjustable aircells for custom compression and a low rocker sole that promotes a natural gait during recovery.
The Aircast SP Walker is the industry standard for patients requiring semi-rigid protection without the bulk of a full-height boot. Designed for those recovering from foot and ankle injuries such as metatarsal fractures, bunionectomies, or acute ankle sprains, the SP (Short Pneumatic) model offers a "total contact" fit that speeds up the reduction of edema (swelling).
The Aircast SP Walker is used for recovery from mild to moderate ankle sprains, rehabilitation following bunionectomies, forefoot soft tissue injuries, metatarsal fractures and more.
