Lower-extremity support AM-OSS-22

Ankle sprain

Ankle sprains are often thought of as sports injuries. But you don’t have to be an athlete or even a “weekend warrior” to turn your ankle and hurt it. Something as simple as walking or running on an uneven surface can cause a painful sprain. It is also common in case of garden activity or work, e.g. in the warehouse.

An ankle injury occurs when the ankle joint is twisted too far out of its normal position. In this case, the soft tissues (ligaments, tendons and joint capsule) are overstretched and may be damaged. The treatment depends on degree of injury. Usually, the cast plaster and physiotherapy are crucial. But, you have to remember that every sprained injury may be repeated in the future. Due to this fact, supporting and preventing are essential. To do that, we highly recommend our excellent wrap-around breathable ankle brace AM-OSS-22 which will prevent against the injury.

MATERIALS

AeroSpace™

AeroSpace™ is an innovative new generation raw material. It is a distance elastic 3D knitted fabric consisting of two layers of facings and an interlacing that creates the appropriate thickness of the raw material and has relieving properties. The knitwear is made of the highest quality polyester yarn - guaranteeing high mechanical strength and spandex ensuring its proper flexibility. This material is characterized by a very low weight, high flexibility and a very large openwork structure, allowing for very easy drainage of sweat from the body and bringing fresh air to the skin. Products made of this raw material are neutral to the secured joint, do not heat or cool it, but ensure its proper compression and fit and reduce muscle vibrations generated during physical exertion. Its thickness and 3D structure perfectly relieves the orthopedic splints, stays or other elements mounted on the product and guarantees velvety softness to the touch.

UniPren™

UniPren™ is a universal 3-layer material consisting of an external elastic polyamide cover knit with a self-adhesive function, an internal neoprene foam core and an elastic jersey cover knit. This material is characterized by softness and very high flexibility. A very important advantage of this material is the fact that it is not a knitted product, it does not have thick fibers, so that the weaves of the material do not imprint on the patient's skin and do not cause abrasionsin places of high compression. Products made of UniPren™ are the strongest and most effective stabilizing orthoses available on the market. Self-adhesive function, the raw material makes it much easier to use.
