Rigid support on medial side of ankle (with a recess for the malleolus), combined with preformed foam on the lateral side that easily adapts to the ankle shape for a close, comfortable fit.
Provides compression to treat swelling, via the comprehensive shell that evenly distributes compression, and elastic straps that offer additional support.
Then adapts for ongoing support after acute phase: one brace for both acute and ongoing support.
Tightness of straps can be adjusted as swelling subsides.
Restricts inversion and eversion while allowing freedom of dorsal and plantar flexion movement.
Indications
Moderate to serious instability
Lateral ankle ligament injury
Follow-up treatment of conservative or operated ankle fractures
