Resists inversion more than taping, yet normal flexion is virtually unrestricted. Graduated, pulsating compression "milks away" swelling and edema. Aircells are pre-inflated, rarely require adjustment. Anatomically contoured shells conform closely to the ankle with minimal bulk in the shoe. Comfort and security encourage early return to function-protection. Durable; guaranteed to last as long as required for the patient. Use for acute sprain, stable malleolar fractures, post ORIF, distal tib/fib stress fractures, hemiparesis or hemiplegia.
