Sizing Chart Because the Air-Stirrup braces are anatomically designed,
please specify either a left or right brace when ordering. - Standard: Preferred for the acute injury with most adults. It is 10.5" in length, provides the most support and offers the largest area of coverage for the recently injured ankle.
- Training: Preferred for chronic instability with most adults. It is 9" in length and offers support for the patient who has had an injury in the past and continues to suffer chronic ankle problems.
- Small: Preferred for both acute and chronic instability of the ankle. It is 8.7" in length and is intended for adults and young adults who are 5'2" and under.
- Pediatric: Preferred for both acute and chronic instability of the ankle. It is 6" in length and is designed for children 2 to 6 years of age and is ideal for ankle stabilization in hemophilia patients.
| | | Since 1978, the Aircast Air-Stirrup Ankle Brace has been the "standard of care" for the functional management of ankle injuries. Each Aircast Ankle Brace features anatomically designed shells lined with the patented Duplex™ aircell system.
This exclusive system incorporates two pre-inflated overlapping aircells, distal and proximal, that provide support and produce graduated compression during ambulation. The compression promotes efficient edema reduction in addition to helping accelerate rehabilitation. | | Features and Benefits of The Aircast Air-Stirrup® Ankle Brace | - Resists inversion more than taping, yet normal flexion is virtually unrestricted.
- It is perhaps the most widely used brace in orthopedics.
- Graduated, pulsating compression "milks away" swelling and edema.
- Patented Duplex™ Aircell system to enhance circulation and reduce swelling.
- Anatomically contoured shells conform closely to the ankle with minimal bulk in the shoe.
- Comfort and security encourage early return to function-protected.
- Durable-guaranteed to last as long as required for the patient.
| All Air-Stirrup Ankle Braces (except for the pediatric model) come with a patient guide providing information on brace application and optional rehabilitation exercises. The Standard (Large), Training (Medium), and Small size Ankle Brace are available individually or as part of an Ankle Sprain Care Kit. 
An Ankle Sprain is a stretching or tearing of the ligaments that support the ankle joint. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect one bone to another and so help to hold joints together. In a sprain, the ligaments may have been overstretched, twisted or torn. | | Ankle Brace Information | - Chronic Ankle Instability.
