Aulexmed BL-52036-A

Product Code: OTAP-OBAS-3525

From toes to calf, one shell steadies the injured ankle.

Where an ankle or lower leg injury needs support up the leg, this tall walker boot encloses much of the calf in a strapped shell with two air cells and a built-in pump. The toe stays open, and the liner comes out for washing.

Built by Aulexmed, the BL-52036-A is a tall pneumatic walker boot designed for fracture clinics, orthopaedic surgery, and emergency care. The written specification lists a built-in air pump with pressure adjustment, a dual airbag system for compression and fit, an open toe described as lightweight and breathable, a detachable washable lining, and a universal shell for the left or right foot. Four sizes are listed. The colour heading on the datasheet carries no colour, and the sheet gives no figures for weight, height, sole or ankle angle, nor any wedge set.

Shell height determines the patient group. Product photography shows the shell rising well up the calf, with straps spaced along its full length. A long enclosed section gives the clinician more of the leg to secure, which matters when the injury sits at the ankle but control of the whole lower leg is wanted during recovery. It also means more skin sits under the shell and the straps, so the upper edge becomes part of every review.

The remaining build is straightforward. Two air cells are filled from the integral pump and let down through the adjustment system, so the fit can be tightened as swelling falls. The lining detaches for washing, and the open toe leaves the digits visible for colour and sensation checks. Photography shows a round pump control near the top of the front panel.

Insole lengths run from 10.6 in for size S to 13.8 in for XL, covering shoe sizes 35 to above 46. No unit or packing dimensions are given. Medigear.uk lists the BL-52036-A for business buyers worldwide; before ordering, request the shaft height, the colour supplied, the reuse position, and the declaration of conformity from the seller.

Fracture clinics are the main setting. A stable ankle fracture judged suitable for a removable device can go into the BL-52036-A at the first appointment, with the tall shell holding the lower leg along its length and the air cells taken up as oedema settles over the following weeks. The upper rim then becomes a standing item on each review, alongside the toe check the open front allows.

Orthopaedic and foot and ankle surgical units can issue the boot for protection after ankle surgery, including ligament repair, where the surgeon wants the whole lower leg controlled while the repair heals. Day-case patients going home the same day can be shown the pump before discharge.

Emergency departments and minor injury units can hold it for ankle injuries under a clinician's direction. The CAST findings on walker boots in acute severe sprain are worth weighing before the boot becomes routine for that group, and many soft tissue injuries do not need the calf enclosed at all.

Physiotherapy services see the boot as patients return to walking and begin coming out of it. A detachable liner helps during periods when the boot comes on and off many times a day.

Achilles pathways need a way to hold the foot pointing down. Until the seller confirms heel wedges or an equivalent, the boot does not belong on those pathways.

Any service issuing lower limb immobilisation to adults also needs to embed its VTE risk assessment in the fitting routine. NHS procurement routes ask for the device class and the declaration of conformity, and public procurement in other countries asks for the equivalent. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

The whole lower leg is held.

Product photography shows the shell reaching well up the calf. For injuries where the clinician wants the leg controlled along its length, that coverage is the point of the device.

Strapping along the full height

The photographs show straps spaced from the forefoot to the upper calf. Each band can be set independently, which helps when swelling differs between the ankle and the upper leg.

Air support adjusts after fitting.

Two air cells filled from the integral pump let the fit be taken up as swelling reduces. The patient can make small changes at home once shown how.

Toes remain on view

The open front leaves the toes visible. You can check colour, warmth, and sensation at every contact without taking the boot off.

Either foot, one stock line per size

The shell fits the left or the right foot. Four sizes cover the whole shelf, and no side ever runs short.

A washable liner for long wear

The lining detaches for washing. On a tall boot, more of the leg sits against it, so being able to wash it counts for skin care.

Nothing to charge or test electrically

The boot has no electrical parts. It needs no batteries, and no electrical safety testing applies.

A clear view of what is missing

The sheet does not hide its gaps. Height, weight, colour, wedges and reuse are all open questions, which lets a buyer settle them before placing a volume order.

Tall shell

Product photography shows a shell rising well up the calf. The height in millimetres is not published.

Integral air pump

A pump built into the boot fills the air cells. The photo shows a round control near the top of the front panel.

Pressure adjustment system

Air can be added and released through the listed adjustment system. The valve design and any pressure indicator are not described.

Dual air cells

The datasheet lists a dual airbag design for compression and fit. The datasheet does not state where the cells sit inside the tall shell.

Multi-strap closure

Straps are spaced along the full height of the shell in photography. Their number and fastening type are not given in writing.

Open toe

The forefoot is left open. This supports toe checks and room for a dressing.

Lightweight construction

The boot is described as lightweight. No weight is published for any size.

Breathable design

The construction is described as breathable. Materials are not named.

Detachable lining

The inner lining lifts out of the shell. That lets it be washed and dried separately.

Washable liner

The lining is listed as washable. Request care instructions, including temperature.

Left or right fit

One shell design serves either foot. A single size stock covers both sides.

Four sizes

Sizes S to XL span shoe sizes 35 to above 46. Insole lengths range from 10.6 in to 13.8 in.

Colour not stated

The datasheet has a colour heading with no entry. Photography shows black.

The BL-52036-A is for patients whose injury requires holding the lower leg along its length. Photography shows a tall strapped shell reaching well up the calf, with two air cells filled from a built-in pump, an open toe and a washable liner, in a design that fits either foot across four sizes. The written sheet leaves a good deal open, from shaft height and weight to colour, heel wedges and reuse. Medigear.uk lists the BL-52036-A for business buyers worldwide and can arrange delivery and quotations. Request the shaft height for each size, the supplied colour, the instructions for use, and the declaration of conformity from the seller with the quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

The datasheet names foot and ankle fractures, soft tissue and ligament injuries, post-surgical protection after ankle sprain surgery, walking-related injuries, and Achilles tendon injury with post-operative protection. A tall shell suits patients whose clinician wants the lower leg held along its length, such as stable ankle fractures and post-operative protection after ankle surgery. Forefoot and toe injuries rarely need that much of the leg enclosed. The treating clinician and the local fracture pathway make the final choice.

The manufacturer does not publish a shaft height. Product photography shows a tall shell reaching well up the calf, and that is the only available evidence of height. Ask the seller for the height in millimetres for each size, because the upper edge needs to sit comfortably below the knee on the shortest patients in the size range. A sample boot measured against a real leg answers the question fastest.

The top strap and the upper rim of the shell are where pressure and rubbing tend to show first on a tall boot. Staff should check the skin there at every review and ask the patient about tingling, numbness, or a tight-band feeling. Where the two air cells sit inside the shell is not published, so it is worth checking whether inflation adds pressure over the calf as well as the ankle. Patients should know to release air and seek advice if the foot or toes change colour, go cold or lose feeling.

That depends on whether the foot can be held pointing down, and nothing on this datasheet provides for it. In the UKSTAR trial, 540 adults at 39 UK hospitals were randomised to plaster cast or functional brace, with the brace group's foot position adjusted over eight weeks from an initial toes-down position. The trial found no difference between groups in Achilles Tendon Rupture Score at nine months or in re-rupture rate. No heel wedges, adjustable hinge or published ankle angle appear for this boot, so ask the seller what is available before placing it on an Achilles pathway.

The evidence is mixed at best. In the CAST trial, 584 adults with severe ankle sprains were randomised across eight UK emergency departments to a 10-day below-knee cast, an ankle brace, a walker boot or a tubular bandage. At three months, the cast showed the broadest benefit, the walker boot arm showed none over the bandage, and by nine months no group differed significantly. The datasheet describes this boot for protection after ankle sprain surgery, and that is the more defensible use.

For adults aged 16 and over discharged with lower limb immobilisation, a documented VTE risk assessment is expected under NICE NG89 and quality standard QS201. The clinician then decides with the patient whether pharmacological prophylaxis is needed and gives verbal and written information about symptoms. The Royal College of Emergency Medicine has audited this in emergency departments as a national quality improvement project. None of this depends on the device chosen, but a boot enclosing the calf does not remove the duty.

The datasheet has a colour heading with nothing listed under it. Product photography shows a black boot. Confirm the colour supplied with the seller, particularly where a service wants every boot on the shelf to match.

Each size maps to a shoe size and an insole length. S fits shoe sizes 35 to 39 with a 10.6 in insole, M fits 40 to 43 with 11.0 in, L fits 44 to 46 with 12.6 in, and XL fits sizes above 46 with 13.8 in. The shoe size column isn't labelled with a system, and the insole step from S to M looks small compared with the step from M to L. Please check both with the seller. On a tall boot, calf girth also matters, and no calf range is published.

No. The supplier sheet uses the words knee walker boot in the title, but the product is a walking boot worn from the foot up the lower leg. It has no wheels and no knee platform. A wheeled knee scooter is a separate product.

Request the declaration of conformity, which identifies the legal manufacturer, device class, and standards applied. Boots of this kind are typically Class I under UK MDR 2002, confirmed against the declaration at order. The supplied sheet shows no CE or UKCA mark, and the manufacturer's website also uses the name Benli Medical, so confirm the legal manufacturer in writing. Great Britain accepts CE-marked devices under transitional arrangements that the MHRA consulted on extending in 2026. Conformity requirements differ by destination market, and the seller confirms what applies where the boot is going.

The datasheet is silent on reuse. Only the liner is described as washable, and no cleaning method is given for the shell, straps or air cells. Plan on single-patient use unless the manufacturer's instructions for use say otherwise. A service that wants to reissue boots will need those instructions and its own decontamination procedure.
