The Aircast AirHeel is specifically designed for plantar fascitis treatment, achilles tendonitis treatment, and achilles tendon pain. Using two interconnected aircells located under the foot arch and in back of the achilles tendon, this Aircast foot product cushions the foot, and applies pulsating compression with every step to help reduce swelling and enhance circulation. When you take a step, the first air chamber (under the arch) begins to collapse thus reducing the stress to the plantar fascia under the arch. Air is forced into the chamber surrounding the achilles tendon which then inflates. The inflated achilles chamber applies compression to the achilles tendon to shorten the lever arm thus reducing strain on the tendon. This product provides effective pain relief as a plantar fasciitis treatment and/or an achilles tendonitis treatment.
Description:
The Aircast AirHeel (Pneumatic Achilles Wrap) is intended for Achilles tendonitis and posterior heel pain. The wrap applies safe, intermittent compression to minimize swelling and promote circulation. This massaging compression allows for an early return to function with comfort and mobility. A low profile and lightweight design make it ideal for all levels of activity. Available in 3 sizes - Large, Medium and Smal. Color is available in black only. Key Benefits: Intermittent, massaging compression, Low profile, Lightweight design.
Indications:
Plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis and posterior heel pain
Features:
Pulsating pneumatic compression minimizes swelling and enhances circulation
Lightweight materials and low profile design increases comfort
Simplified design speeds application
Key Benefits:
Tests show that the pressure under the aircell is about 50% greater than the average under the rest of the band's circumference. This concentration of pressure means that more compression is applied where it is needed.
