DARCO Body Armor Embrace Ankle Brace 

The DARCO Body Armor^® Embrace is an ankle joint orthosis which is applied during the acute phase of injury as well as during the process of rehabilitation. 

Indications for use:

• Distorsion trauma of the upper ankle joint.
• Conservative ankle rehabilitation.
• Insufficiencies of the upper ankle joint and capsule-ligament complex.
• Postoperative protection after ligament suturing.

Purpose:

• Prevents supination and pronation of the ankle.
• Prevents prolapse of the talus.
• Protects the anterior talofibular ligament.
• Compresses the mortise.
• Prevention of chronic instability.

• 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.
• 3 Sizes: S (35 – 39), M (40 – 44), L (45 – 49).
• Individually sized.
