How to Apply an Ankle Air Cast
Instructions
-
-
1
Wash your leg, foot and ankle before applying the air cast. This will prevent you from sweating through the air cast or developing an odor.
-
2
Lift the stirrups under the arch of your foot, between the heel and the ball of the underside of your foot.
-
3
Press the two stirrups on either side of your lower leg comfortably. Loosen if you feel any pain on your ankle.
-
4
Wrap the fabric bandage around the stirrups, wrapping tightly enough to provide support but not so tightly as to be painful.
-
5
Fasten with the metal or plastic fastener that comes with the air cast. Remove the air cast before bathing or showering.
