The Medi Sports Ankle Brace is an ankle support and stabilizing orthosis that immobilizes the ankle joint to protect it against excessive movements or injuries.

It is used not only as an orthosis for treating ankle joint injuries but also as a protective brace for preventing sports injuries at the ankle joint.

Features and Benefits of the Medi Ankle Sports Brace:

Flat design: The flat design of the Medi Ankle Sports Brace makes it a comfortable option to wear inside shoes. Thus it can be used by athletes prophylactically for stabilizing the ankle joint to prevent any sports injuries.

Rigid base material: Because of the rigid base material, the Medi Ankle Sports Brace provides stability and firm support to the ankle joint.

Cross-lacing: The ankle brace consists of a cross-lace fastening system in the front, that makes the brace adjustable and flexible to fit snugly to the ankle and foot. Because of these laces, the area under treatment does not get over-compressed, ensuring proper circulation under the brace. The laces also ensure easy donning and doffing of the brace.

Stabilizing shells: The brace has added stabilizing shells on both sides. These shells further increase the stability of the ankle joint by limiting inversion and eversion movements when needed. The shells are removable, making the brace adaptable to different individuals.

Straps: Two fastening straps including the outer and inner straps are wrapped above the sleeve and lacing of the brace. They are wrapped in a manner that replicates the purpose of an athletic tape yet provides more support and aids the body’s stabilizing mechanism.

Circumferential belt: The circumferential belt that is wrapped above the ankle joint, holds the brace in place and prevents its slippage or untying between activities, thus making the brace more functional and less activity-limiting.

Sizes: The Medi Ankle Sports Brace comes in five different sizes that further improve its usability by all individuals.

The Medi Sports Ankle Brace Can Be Used For:

Out of the wide range of ankle injuries, the Medi Ankle Sports Brace is best used for the following conditions.

Acute inflammatory conditions: These include the inflammation of the ankle joint after a recent injury with symptoms of pain, swelling, and redness around the ankle joint and foot.

Chronic inflammatory conditions: These include arthritic conditions of the ankle joint, most commonly rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. These conditions are also accompanied by pain swelling, edema, redness, and stiffness of the joint.

Sprains: The Medi Ankle Sports Brace limit the supination movement of the joint thus preventing injuries like inversion or eversion sprains. It is also used to treat sprains.

Ligament injuries: Ligament injuries of the ankle joint can be divided into proximal and distal ligamentous instability. As the Medi Ankle Sports Brace provides a stabilizing effect to the whole ankle, it supports any structure that is insatiable because of ligament tear. Besides that, it also aids the syndesmosis ligament, preventing and treating its tear.
