BioSkin Pneumatic Short Walking Boot – Medium

Overview

The Pneumatic Walking Boot (Short) is designed to protect the foot and ankle during rehabilitation following surgery or traumatic injury. Its low profile rounded sole accommodates a natural gait pattern and allows greater maneuverability, while a Shock Pod in the sole absorbs over 50% of the force from heel strike for a softer, more comfortable step.

A pneumatic pump fills the internal cushion with air for comfort and swelling control, and an anti-slip lip makes it easier to elevate the leg while you rest. Straps run the full length of the boot and are fully adjustable, so the fit can be tuned as swelling changes. BioSkin construction uses hypoallergenic, lightweight tri-laminate fabric at just one millimeter thick.
