Rigid anatomic ankle brace with shells and cross-straps

Ankle sprain

Ankle sprain

In the United Stated ankle sprain is 1 of 10 reasons of visiting in emergency. It involves the lateral side of the ankle with the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL). There are three sprain grades: mild (with partial AFTL injury), moderate (with complete AFTL and partial CFL torn) and severe (complete AFTL and CFL torn). Injury based on sudden changes of direction (foot in inversion), especially in the grass, and when the athlete fall onto the other’s foot after jumping, so we can notice it mostly in basketball, volleyball and football (soccer).

Ankle sprain

It’s important to remember, that the ankle sprain is common in every kind of sports, so professional brace such as AM-SX-08 in sport training is very important.

Product description

 

 

The brace AM-SX-08 doesn’t limit the ankle range of motion and foot propulsion. We use our rule MiniMax (minimum device, maximum effect) to connect these two functions. Our ankle brace can be used after post injury treatment or as an prevention against the dangerous ankle inversion in sport trainings.

The brace is equipped with two anatomic-shaped polyethylene shells connected by lower tape. This tape has length adjustment what allows to fit the brace precisely. For excellent device stabilization we used 2 straps:

  • upper circumferential strap with buckle
  • rear cross-strap that is fastened to medial shell and goes around the Achilles tendon to lateral shell.

This construction stabilizes the ankle joint precisely and allows to use it in sport shoes. AM-SX-08 ankle brace fit to the body, stabilizes foot muscles and other soft tissues against the strain or fracture.

Active3D™ is thermoformed fabric made of special foamed, cell-closed designed material. It reduces the pressure on the body or any abrasions made by orthopaedic stays and aluminum splints. It is fully waterproof fabric and does not absorb sweat. It’s easy to clean. Due to its features, the fabric is an excellent product for making medical orthopaedic braces and orthoses. ACTIVE 3D™ has various external self-gripping layers. Our material has special, thermoformed properties and may be shaped according to the functional goals of the final braces.

UniTape™ is a technological orthopedic lamination with high durability with double-sided self-gripping function. UniTape™ is very thin and easy to attach what allows to fit the braces precisely.

STIFFENINGS

Ankle shells

Anatomical ankle shells are made by injection of ABS material. The shells come in various sizes and are available as stiffeners for the right and left limb, as well as internal and external stiffeners. They are used to construct various types of ankle orthoses. Braces containing these shells are highly effective in securing the ankle joint. The shells can be sewn into the soft part of the orthosis or they can be used as an external part. Buckles, screws and other elements of orthoses can be attached to the shells. Flexible adhesive elements can also be attached to them, allowing for attaching straps and soft 3D relief pads or pneumatic pillows to them.

Ankle shells

Half-insole

The half-insole is made of ABS material and it is an additional element stabilizing the ankle joint and preventing it from twisting. The patient, by burdening the insole, prevents it from moving in the shoe, and thanks to this, strong side straps stabilize the ankle joint and significantly reduce the possibility of joint injury.
