Product Features and Benefits:
- For the post-traumatic and preventive care of the capsular ligaments of the ankle.
- Parallel joints of the brace allow an easy and aligned dorsal extension and plantar flexion of the upper ankle.
- Strong polypropylene-shell prevents inversion and eversion movement.
- Strap from distal/lateral to dorsal/proximal prevents the shift of the talus and protects the ligamentum fibulotalare anterius.
- Distal strap provides circular compression of the Malleoli.
- Proximal strap provides additional compression. (Both straps can be cut individually to the correct length needed).
- Perfect stability along with controlled mobility.
- Lower part of the insole (soft-pad) is mainly intended for padding the injured ankle and may be cut off at the marked segments after the ankle has healed.
- Two hook and loop fasteners warrant a smooth and easy but firm position of the foot.
- The talus shift strap helps to prevent talar shift.
