Short Type Pneumatic Walking Boot (Air Walker) Analysis Report

Device Identification

The product examined in the visuals is a short type walking boot used in the field of medical orthopedics. The black pump mechanism on the side of the device indicates that the product has an air-cushioned (pneumatic) system and belongs to the class known as “Air Walker”. The product consists of a hard plastic outer shell, a soft inner liner, fastening hook-and-loop straps, and an air pumping mechanism.

Originality and Quality Assessment

The product bears a “CE” mark on its labeling, indicating that it is manufactured in compliance with European standards. The material structure (plastic quality, stitching, and inner liner texture) is of standard medical product quality. Since a specific brand logo cannot be distinguished in the visuals, it might be a generic production or a product with a removed label; however, structurally, it appears suitable for professional medical use.

Areas of Use

This product is designed to provide immobilization for foot and ankle injuries. It is suitable for use in the following situations:

• As an alternative to plaster casts for metatarsal and ankle fractures,
• For soft tissue injuries (sprains, contusions),
• As a supportive aid during the post-operative recovery process,
• For stable foot and ankle fractures.

Quantity Information

The visuals show a total of 1 unit of a walking boot (single piece). While it is not definitively clear from the visuals whether it is for the right or left foot, this type of boot is generally produced as universal, suitable for use on either foot.

Overall Condition

The product is in used (second-hand) condition. Its overall condition is moderate; although its structural integrity is maintained, there are signs of use. No major cracks or missing parts that would impede the product’s functionality have been visually detected.

Physical Deformation and Cosmetic Condition

The physical examination of the product reveals the following details:

• Inner Liner: A purple ink or paint stain is present on the inside of the liner (below the label). Pilling due to use is visible on the fabric surface.
• Hook-and-Loop Straps (Velcro): Fraying and pilling are present on the edges and surfaces of the gray fastening straps, indicating prior use.
• Outer Shell: No deep cracks or breaks have been observed on the gray hard plastic parts, but superficial scuff marks may be present.

Mechanical Component Examination

Based on visual data, the condition of the product’s mechanical parts is as follows:

• Air Pump: The black air pumping button and release valve located on the side of the boot are in place. They do not appear broken or detached (Air retention cannot be tested from the visual).
• Hinges and Rivets: The rivet points holding the plastic components together appear intact.
• Sole Structure: Although the parts of the sole that contact the ground are not fully visible in the visuals, it is understood from the side profile that the sole’s integrity is preserved.

Size and Label Information

The following information is readable on the label located on the product’s inner liner:

• Size: SMALL. This indication shows that the product is suitable for patients with shoe sizes ranging from 35-38 (approximate value).
• Warnings: The phrase “CARE INSTRUCTIONS OTHER SIDE” is present.
• Certification: A “CE” mark and a warning symbol containing an exclamation mark are present.

Potential Risk Analysis

Since the product is a “pneumatic” (air-filled) model, it cannot be determined from the visuals whether the internal air bladders are punctured. There may be a risk of air leakage in such second-hand products. Furthermore, the wear on the hook-and-loop straps may indicate a reduction in their adhesive strength. Due to the stain on the inside, hygienic cleaning may be required.
