Air-Stirrup ® Ankle Brace by Aircast ®

Air-Stirrup Ankle Brace is the brace that made functional management practical. It is perhaps the most widely used brace in orthopedics. More than 25 published studies document its efficacy and versatility with sprains, fractures, and chronic instability.

Key Benefits:

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-protected.
Durable-guaranteed to last as long as required for the patient.

Indications:

Acute ankle sprain
Stable malleolar fractures
Post ORIF
Distal tib/fib stress fractures
Hemiparesis, hemiplegia

Air-Stirrup Ankle Braces are made in five models. Because of the conformability of the aircells, there is a wide overlap among the models recommended for indication and patient size. We also offer the Ankle Sprain Care Kit which is a complete system for the functional management of an ankle sprain.


A sprained ankle heals better and faster when the patient uses the injured ankle, while protecting it at the same time. Aircast pioneered the functional management of ankle sprains by developing the Air-Stirrup. The Air-Stirrup Ankle Brace is the brace that made functional management practical. It is perhaps the most widely used brace in orthopedics.
