How Do I Use the Injury Recovery Kit?
Aircast AirSport Ankle Brace
The Aircast Brace is fairly simple to use, featuring a "step-in" design that involves inserting toes into the back of the brace, before using the adjustable straps to secure the fit.
DuraSoft Ice Wrap
Using the DuraSoft Ankle Ice Wrap takes a little longer. By following these simple instructions you can provide ice or heat compression therapy:
- Place gel inserts in the resealable bag and place in the freezer until the gel inserts are frozen solid.
- Remove the gel inserts form the resealable bag when frozen and place the inserts into the wrap.
- Apply wrap to area of treatment by attaching Velcro fastener to outer wrap fabric. The straps should be applied with enough stretch to keep wrap in place and provide desired compression.
- The wrap can be hand washed and air dried; gel inserts can be cleaned with water, a moist towel or sponge.
- The gel inserts can also be used to provide heat therapy. Place the gel inserts in a deep pan and run hot tap water into the pan until inserts are covered. Keep the inserts immersed for 3-5 minutes, do not use tap water that is too hot to the touch, dry the gel inserts and apply as above.
