The Air-Stirrup Ankle Brace is the brace that
made functional management practical. It is perhaps the most widely used brace in
orthopedics. More than 25 published studies document its efficacy and versatility with
sprains, fractures, and chronic instability.
Key Benefits
- Resists inversion more than taping, yet normal flexion
is virtually unrestricted.
- Graduated, pulsating compression "milks away"
swelling and edema.
- Aircells are pre-inflated, rarely require adjustment.
- Anatomically contoured shells conform closely to the ankle
with minimal bulk in the shoe.
- Comfort and security encourage early return to
function-protected.
- Durable-guaranteed to last as long as required for the
patient.
Air-Stirrup Ankle Braces are made in five models. Because of
the conformability of the aircells, there is a wide overlap among the models recommended
for indication and patient size. We also offer the Ankle Sprain Care Kit which is a
complete system for the functional management of an ankle sprain.
- Standard (02A): preferred
for the acute injury with most adults. It is 10.5" in length, provides
the most support and offers the largest area of coverage for the recently injured ankle.
Training (02B): preferred
for chronic instability with most adults. It is 9" in length and offers support
for the patient who has had an injury in the past and continues to suffer chronic ankle
problems.
Small (02C):
preferred for both acute and chronic instability of the ankle. It is 8.7" in
length and is intended for adults and young adults who are 5'2" and under.
Pediatric (02J): preferred
for both acute and chronic instability of the ankle. It is 6" in length and is
intended for children.
