Application Information
The AirSelect Standard is a walking brace designed to provide support and comfort during the healing process. It is suitable for individuals with foot or ankle injuries.

- If necessary, adjust the straps to the appropriate size for your foot or ankle.
Apply Brace
- Carefully slide your foot into the brace, ensuring that the heel is properly positioned at the back of the brace.
- Securely fasten the straps around your foot and ankle, making sure they are snug but not too tight.
Adjust Aircell Compression
The STANDARD walking brace comes with air cells that provide support and compression. Follow these steps to adjust the compression:
- The air cells are initially deflated. Locate the inflation valve on each cell.
- Using the provided pump, inflate the air cells by squeezing the pump bulb until you reach the desired level of compression.

If you need to decrease the compression or deflate the air cells, follow these steps:
- Locate the deflation valve on each cell.
- Gently press or squeeze the valve to release the air and deflate the air cells.
