Why are online bracing products less expensive than the ones purchased in a physician office?

When you purchase your brace online, there are certain services and benefits that you won’t receive. Services that you will receive from your medical professional in the office but not from your online retailer may include:

  • assessing your medical condition to determine the most appropriate brace
  • measuring you to determine the appropriate brace size
  • assessing brace fit
  • billing your insurance company for the brace
  • in person brace return or exchange if necessary

Comparing the cost of a device online vs. the cost of the same device provided in a medical professional’s office is not a valid comparison. As the consumer, you have to decide what is right for you and consider the trade-offs. Sure, online products tend to be less expensive – but you also lose the important services and benefits outlined above. Please make your decision carefully and, when in doubt, consult your medical provider and insurance company.

When it's time to remove a wedge, do you start with the top wedge and work down, or does it matter?
Question by: Marsh on Mar 9, 2014, 3:54 PM
Marsh
You can replace any wedge, they are all the same thickness.
Answer by: Admin on Mar 9, 2014, 3:54 PM
Hi, I think the question is not really complete answered.

When I should remove a wedge, witch wedge must be replaced:

- the large one in the bottom

or

- the small one in the top ??

Do not remove a wedge without your physician telling to do so. then you should remove the bottom first and work your way up

I have just spent nine weeks in an Aircast boot to heal a ruptured Achilles Tendon - the next three weeks I am supposed to be out of the Aircast and wearing my own shoes BUT with three Aircast wedges inserted. I find them almost impossible to walk on - it feels like trying to walk on a pebble beach with no shoes on! They're crippling me - please tell me - are they ONLY for use in an Aircast boot during the no-weight bearing stage or am I supposed to suffer this almost impossible to stand on pain ? Have I been given the wrong inserts? Many thanks for your guidance! Francis Haines
Question by: Francis Haines on Aug 4, 2016, 6:31 AM
The Aircast Heel Wedge is only to be worn inside the Aircast Walking Boots, they are not meant to be worn inside your normal shoes. We advise you speak with your doctor for guidance on what brace or support you need now that you are out of the boot,

I have the air cast boot and my heel pain hurts when I walk in it. Does anyone know if these would help with that? Thanks!
Question by: Norma on Oct 2, 2015, 10:53 PM

The heel wedges will not cushion the heel. These silicone heel cups might be better they are soft and used for heel pain. https://www.donjoystore.com/procare-silicone-heel-cups
Answer by: Admin on Oct 2, 2015, 10:53 PM
I am post achilles rupture repair. It has 5 wedges for my boot size the doctor was only going to use three but to maintain the flex I have been in I needed all 5, why is there only 3 for the XL and 5 for all the others?

Next should the knee with the cast be bent or elevated with the boot on?

I am partial weight bearing with crutches what is the best way to navigate stairs with the boot with the bent knee?
Question by: Shay on Oct 6, 2015, 6:21 AM
Shay
I would suggest that you see your medical professional if you need gait training with the boot on and allowed to have partial weight bearing. The boot does not effect your knee so you can either bend it or keep it straight depending on your comfort level. I unfortunately do not have a reason why there are only 3 wedges in the XL but I will be seeking this information from the product manager.
