Aulexmed BL-52017-A

Product Code: OTAP-OBAS-3555

Fitted once in clinic, then adjusted by the patient in the following weeks.

From the first fitting to the day it comes off, this tall black walker boot uses the same few parts: two air cells, a built-in pump, and a washable liner, all in a shell that fits either foot. Three sizes cover shoe sizes 35 to 45.

Aulexmed supplies the BL-52017-A as a tall pneumatic walker boot for fracture clinics, orthopaedic surgery, emergency departments and community follow-up. The datasheet lists a built-in air pump with a pressure adjustment system, dual airbags for compression and fit, an open-toe design described as lightweight and breathable, a detachable and washable inner lining, and a shell for either the left or the right foot. Sizes are S, M and L for shoe sizes 35 to 45, and the listed colour is black. Shaft height, weight, sole details, ankle angle and heel wedges are not published.

This boot's case spans the full course of treatment. A walker boot is often worn for six to eight weeks, and in that time the leg changes: swelling falls, the calf loses bulk, and the patient moves from protected walking to weaning out. The air cells let the fit be taken up at each stage without a new device, and the liner can be washed throughout. In the end, the boot is best treated as a single-patient item, and with no electrical parts, it needs no special electrical waste handling.

Photography shows a tall black shell with slotted sides and black straps, a turquoise round control on the side of the upper and a turquoise sole. The written specification lists black only, so confirm the finish supplied, especially where stock is reordered over time.

Insole lengths are listed as 10.6 in, 11.0 in and 12.6 in for shoe sizes 35 to 38, 39 to 41 and 42 to 45. No dimensions are given. Medigear.uk lists the BL-52017-A for business buyers worldwide; before ordering, ask the seller whether spare liners are sold, the reuse position, the finish supplied and the declaration of conformity.

Fracture clinics fit the BL-52017-A at the start of treatment and see the patient through it. A stable ankle fracture managed in a removable device can be fitted at the first appointment, with the tall shell holding the lower leg and the air cells set for the swelling present on the day. At each review, the fit can be taken up as the leg changes, and the clinician decides when weaning begins.

Orthopaedic and foot and ankle surgical units can apply it for protection after ankle surgery, including fracture fixation and ligament repair. Because the boot stays with the patient for the whole recovery, the instructions for use and liner care advice should go home with them from the ward.

Emergency departments and minor injury units that fit boots for later fracture clinic follow-up should make sure patients leave knowing how to adjust the air and wash the liner. The VTE risk assessment set out in NICE NG89 for adults discharged with lower limb immobilisation applies at that first fitting.

Community nursing and podiatry teams often see the middle weeks of treatment, when swelling has fallen, and the leg has thinned. Skin checks, strap and air adjustment, and liner hygiene are their practical concerns, and the open toe allows circulation checks without removing the boot.

Physiotherapy services lead the final stage, as patients wean into a supportive shoe and deal with the stiffness and swelling that often follow. Preparing patients for those changes early makes the transition smoother.

NHS procurement routes ask for the device class and the declaration of conformity, and public buyers in other countries ask for the equivalent. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

One device for the whole course

The air cells and straps let the fit follow the leg from the swollen first week to the slimmer later weeks. The same boot serves until weaning.

Patients manage the fit between reviews.

The built-in pump and adjustment system let patients add or release air at home. Simple fit changes do not wait for the next appointment.

A liner that lasts through repeated washing

The inner lining detaches and washes. It can be cleaned throughout weeks of daily wear.

Lower leg held along its length.

The tall shell reaches well up the leg in photography. That suits injuries where the clinician wants control above the ankle.

Circulation checks without removal

The open toe leaves the digits visible. Staff and carers can check colour and warmth at any point in treatment.

Either foot, three stock lines

One shell fits the left or the right foot, and three sizes cover shoe sizes 35 to 45. Reordering stays simple.

Straightforward end of use

With no electrical parts, the boot needs no special electrical waste handling. Disposal follows local policy.

Nothing to service

There are no batteries, motors or electronics. The boot needs no maintenance beyond liner care.

Tall shell

Photography shows a shell reaching well up the lower leg. The height is not published.

Built-in air pump

A pump integrated into the boot fills the air cells. Photography shows a turquoise round control on the side of the upper.

Pressure adjustment system

Air can be added and released through the listed system. The adjustment range and any pressure indicator are not published.

Dual airbag design

Two air cells are listed for compression and fit. Their placement inside the shell is not given.

Open-toe design

The forefoot is open at the front. That supports ventilation, dressings and toe checks.

Lightweight and breathable

The construction is described as lightweight and breathable. Weight and materials are not published.

Detachable inner lining

The lining lifts out of the shell. This allows separate washing and drying.

Washable liner

The liner is listed as washable. Spare liner availability is not published.

Universal left and right fit.

One shell design serves either foot. The same size fits a left or a right injury.

Three sizes

Sizes S, M and L cover shoe sizes 35 to 45. Insole lengths are 10.6 in, 11.0 in and 12.6 in.

Black finish

The boot is listed in black. Photography also shows a turquoise control and sole.

Slotted shell sides

Photography shows slots along the sides of the shell. Their purpose is not stated in writing.

Unpowered construction

The boot contains no electrical components. No electrical safety standard applies.

The BL-52017-A is built to stay with a patient from the first fitting to the day it comes off. Two air cells from a built-in pump and adjustable straps let the fit follow a changing leg, the washable liner copes with weeks of daily wear, and the tall black shell fits either foot across three sizes up to shoe size 45. At the end of treatment, it is a single-patient device with no electrical parts. Medigear.uk lists the BL-52017-A for business buyers worldwide and can arrange delivery and quotations. Request spare liner availability, the reuse position, the finish supplied, 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 lists foot and ankle fractures, soft tissue and ligament injuries, protection after surgery for ankle sprains and fractures, support for injuries related to long-distance walking, and Achilles tendon injury with post-operative protection. A tall shell suits those injuries where the clinician wants the lower leg held along its length. The treating clinician decides whether a removable boot is right for each patient.

It depends on the injury and the treating clinician. NHS discharge advice for ankle fractures commonly describes six to eight weeks in a walking boot, sometimes with a move to a supportive shoe sooner. The boot therefore has to stay comfortable and fit correctly through many weeks of daily wear. Review appointments decide when the patient can start coming out of it.

The built-in pump adds air to the two cells as swelling reduces, and the pressure adjustment system lets air out if the boot becomes too tight. The straps can also be tightened as the leg slims over the weeks. The range of adjustment the air cells provide is not published, so patients whose legs change a great deal should be booked for a review. Patients should release air and seek advice if the toes turn pale, blue, cold or numb.

The inner lining is detachable and washable, but the datasheet does not say whether spares are sold. Over several weeks, a patient will wash the liner many times, and without a spare they must wait for it to dry. Ask the seller whether replacement liners can be ordered separately, and request the care instructions.

The treating clinician or physiotherapist decides when and how the patient comes out of the boot, often starting with short periods in a supportive shoe. NHS leaflets warn that after weeks in a boot, the leg may feel thin and stiff, the ankle may swell again, and the skin may be dry and itchy. Those effects usually settle over several weeks. Patients benefit from knowing this before the boot comes off, so the changes are not alarming.

The datasheet does not say whether the boot can be reprocessed, and it describes only the liner as washable. Treat it as a single-patient issue unless the manufacturer's instructions state otherwise. With no electrical parts, the boot falls outside electrical waste rules, and disposal follows the provider's local waste policy. No take-back or recycling arrangement is published.

The datasheet lists black. Photography shows a black shell and straps with a turquoise control on the side and a turquoise sole. Confirm the finish with the seller, and check it again at each reorder if matching stock matters to the service.

No shaft height is published. Product photography shows a tall shell reaching well up the leg. Ask the seller for the height in millimetres for each size, and check that the upper edge clears the back of the knee on shorter patients.

S covers shoe sizes 35 to 38 with a 10.6 in insole, M covers 39 to 41 with 11.0 in, and L covers 42 to 45 with 12.6 in. The shoe size system is not stated and appears to be EU numbering. Confirm with the seller whether the small step from S to M and the larger step from M to L are intentional. No size is listed above shoe size 45, and calf circumference limits are not published.

Achilles tendon injury and post-operative protection are listed, but no heel wedges or adjustable ankle angle appear on the datasheet. Achilles protocols usually begin with the foot held pointing down and adjust in stages, which in a boot normally depends on wedges. Ask the seller how the indication is met before adding the boot to an Achilles pathway.

Request the declaration of conformity, naming the legal manufacturer, the device class and the standards applied. A walker boot of this type is typically Class I under UK MDR 2002, confirmed against the declaration at order. No CE or UKCA mark appears on the supplied sheet, and the manufacturer's website also uses the name Benli Medical, so confirm the legal manufacturer and the UK Responsible Person 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.

It does not fit feet above shoe size 45. It is a poor fit for early-stage Achilles protocols unless heel wedges are confirmed. Forefoot and toe injuries rarely need a shell this tall. Patients with reduced foot sensation, who cannot manage the pump, or who report numbness and pain need close supervision or another device.
