Ankle brace AM-OSS-06

Ankle sprain and strain

Sprain or strain of ankle joint is popular. Simple running or walking on uneven ground may result in overstretching the soft tissues. This kind of injuries happen during both athletic and daily activities. When you’re a player and your foot will step on the other’s one, it may roll inward, e.g. in basketball. This injury is called inversion sprain and it’s very popular around the world.

Turning and inward rolling of the foot are the primary cause of an ankle sprain. Overstretched ligaments and tendons may be torn. When the injury occurs, the broken blood vessels will hemorrhage into the tissue, causing visible bruise and swollen. Range of motion is also highly limited. In this case, we highly recommend you using our ankle brace AM-OSS-06 before getting the injury.

Product’s description

Our ankle brace AM-OSS-06 is universal, wrap around product made of high quality UniPren™. It provides healing compression, reduces bruises and swelling. External part of the brace is equipped with spiral boning for additional stabilization and prevention against the inversion sprain.

AM-OSS-06 stabilizes the ankle brace and prevents against the sprain during physical activity. When the bruises occur, the brace provides healing compression and reduces swelling.

UniPren™ is a hook&loop fabric so the brace has wrap-around design and is available in one, universal size. It is anatomic shaped, available for right or left leg.

MATERIALS

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.

STIFFENINGS

Spiral boning

Our orthopedic spiral boning is a thin wire, coiled into a spring and flattened. We use boning of various widths and wire thicknesses, which determines the strength of their stabilization. Each spiral boning has two specially profiled fittings to prevent damage of the orthosis. They are galvanically protected against corrosion by the galvanizing process, so they are resistant to water, moisture and sweat. Products equipped with bonings can be washed without removing them from the orthosis. They work in every direction, perfectly adjusting to the user's body and have a shape memory function, thanks to which they always return to their original profile. This function causes the spiral boning in the orthosis to stabilize the swollen limb immediately after the injury and after the swelling has come off.
