Ankle support AM-OSS-05

Ankle strain and sprain are common injuries. It can cause giving up sport activities and can require the surgery treatment.

In every year, twisted ankle occurs in 360 000 Poles. This injury is the most common diagnose in orthopaedic surgeries. While you exceed your anatomic range of motion in ankle you can damage your ligaments and joint capsule. In 95% is connected with ankle inversion motion and only 5% with ankle eversion.

Twisted ankle doesn’t always require help of orthopaedist. It depends on ankle sprain degrees. While first degree you can treat by your own with cold therapy, elevation and stabilize your joint with bandage. The second degree requires orthopaedist’s treatment and support your ankle with professional ankle brace. You should remember professional medical ankle brace is more efficient than simple cast.

AM-OSS-05

AM-OSS-05 ankle brace with lateral support, laced construction and spiral dynamic straps provide excellent ankle stabilization.

Ankle brace AM-OSS-05 allows to maintain the foot in inversion or eversion. Depending on natural foot position, we can correct and maintain the foot in the required position. This solution is possible by adjustment of tension of two elastic straps.

To correct the inversion there is necessary to re-adjust the medial strap to achieve the desired tension. To maintain the foot in the eversion, there is necessary to re-adjust the lateral strap. When you adjust the straps in standard tension, you will maintain the foot in the neutral position.

MATERIALS

ActiveSpace™

ActiveSpace™ is a spacer, polyamide 3D lamination with high skin ventilation. It is very lightweight, consisted of 2 layers. Between them, we use polyamide braids. ActiveSpace™ is not elastic what improves stabilization. Inside the lamination, between 2 layers, the air flows freely, maintaining minimal water and moisture absorption. Waterproof material.

AeroSpace II™

AeroSpace II™ 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. AeroSpace II™ has an external self-gripping layer what makes it easy to adjust each product to individual patient’s needs. 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.

AirRubber III™

AirRubber III™ has unidirectional elasticity. It can be stretched, increasing the length, not width, what improves compression. Between the braids air flows freely and skin can breathe. In addition in high compression, these rubber braids provide a gentle massage for skin. Our orthopedic rubber is very friendly for skin.
