  • What's the difference between this walking brace and the FP model?
  • The Aircast XP Walking Brace (extra pneumatic) differs from the Aircast FP Walking Brace (foam pneumatic) due to the larger anterior panel that contains an additional aircell.
    
    Aside from that difference the braces are identical and can treat or address the following indications:
    
    Stable fracture of foot/ankle/lower leg
    Severe ankle sprain (grade III)
    Post-op immobilization

  • What is the difference between the XP walking brace and the XP diabetic walker system? The exterior appears to be the same.
  • Our Aircast XP Diabetic Walker incorporates a rocker sole with our dual-laminate insole designed with the Impax Grid technology. This insole allows for portions of the grid to be pushed out so that it alleviates pressure around diabetic ulcers on the bottom on the feet. It also comes with a pressure gauge hand bulb to inflate the aircells according to your prescription, as well as a lighter more sheer sock for patient comfort. The XP Walker has a standard laminate insole and hand bulb. The socks that come with the XP Walker are of a thicker cotton material than the XP Diabetic Walker System. Other than that they both have the Duplex aircells that provide intermittent pneumatic compression for edema reduction as well as callus formation.
