The Body Armour Walker

For general casting and immobilisation purposes, and especially following surgery to the foot and ankle, this bi-lateral adjustable cast has the appearance and technology of a ski boot with the features of a hard-shell design; polyurethane compression sleeve; walker sole, and focal compression pads.

It is available in two different heights: the high profile style satisfies lower-leg and foot casting situations and the low profile option is ideal for those conditions where lower leg support is not required. It is a versatile, re-usable and above all extremely economic alternative to conventional casts and immobilisation supports.

Fastenings

Leverage fasteners, similar to ski-boot buckles, are attached directly to the shell and provide controlled compression and immobilisation throughout the healing process. The fastenings can be continuously adjusted, click by click, as the patient's condition dictates.

Sleeve

The walker is supplied with a polyurethane sleeve which contours to protect and stabilise the foot and ankle. Replacement sleeves can be purchased separately, which allows the Body Armour Walker to be repeatedly fitted to subsequent patients. BAW_insitu

Sole Section

The Body Armour Walker is designed with a walking sole, rounded at the heel and toe to reduce the shock of heel strike and toe-off. The ventilated heel allows air circulation for breathability.

Upper Section

The hard shell exterior gives the same protection as a cast but the Body Armour Walker won't lose its effectiveness as oedema subsides. Easy access is made possible by a wide opening. A set of focal compression pads are included to offload the malleoli and force fluids out of the achilles area. The protective removable tongue eases pressure from the fastenings.
