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.
