This Stabilizing Ankle Brace With Air Pad is a medical orthosis engineered from a specially designed plastic mold to provide superior support and stabilization. It is indicated for the management of high-degree ankle sprains, chronic ankle pain, and for prophylactic protection during contact sports. Featuring internal air cushions, it provides full anatomical adaptation for maximum fixation and is highly effective for support during the post-cast rehabilitation period for ankle fractures.
Why to Use: This orthosis provides an optimal healing environment and protection through its innovative design:
- Maximum Fixation and Stability: The rigid plastic shell acts as a stabilizer, providing the high degree of support necessary to protect the ankle from painful or harmful movements, which is essential for recovering from severe sprains.
- Full Anatomical Adaptation: The integrated air cushions on the inner surface conform precisely to the unique contours of the individual’s ankle. This anatomical adaptation ensures a secure fit and provides maximum, effective fixation of the joint.
- Versatile Protection: Serves as a durable protector during contact sports, shielding the ankle from impact and excessive rotation. It is also an effective support tool after a cast is removed, providing the stability needed for a safe recovery.
- Management of Chronic Pain: For individuals with chronic ankle pain, the brace offers consistent stabilization, reducing daily stress on the joint and helping to alleviate discomfort.
Indications for Use:
- High-degree sprains of the ankle.
- Chronic ankle pain and instability.
- Prophylactic (protective) use during contact sports activities.
- Post-cast period support for ankle fractures.
How to Use:
- It is recommended to wear a sock before application. Sit with your leg extended and your foot at a 90-degree angle.
- Position the brace so the plastic shells are centered along the sides of your ankle.
- Secure the bottom strap first, wrapping it under the heel and fastening it on the opposite side.
- Fasten the upper strap(s) around the lower leg until the fit is snug and provides firm support.
