which have an inflatable air bladder that inflates around the ankle
area to reduce swelling and pain and provide more immobilization at the
same time. AirCast Walking Casts are cam walker Walking Casts that give the user a more cast-like feel in addition to having the air bladder. The Air Cast Shell Walking Casts
have an additional plastic shell that covers the top part of the foot,
