Ankle Support

The DME Ankle Support is a lightweight, breathable brace designed to provide firm compression and stabilize weak or injured ankles. Ideal for sprains, strains, arthritis, or post-surgical recovery, it helps reduce swelling and supports safe movement during daily activities or rehabilitation.

Compression reduces inflammation and improves circulation to promote healing.

Stabilization helps maintain proper alignment and reduces stress on the joint during motion.

How to Use:

Slip the ankle support over the foot and pull it up to fit snugly around the ankle.

Ensure the heel is properly aligned and the support is comfortable—not too tight.

Wear during activity or as directed by your healthcare provider.

Remove periodically to let skin breathe and check for any irritation.

Hand wash and air dry to maintain elasticity and cleanliness.

Note:
Do not wear over open wounds or broken skin. Discontinue use if excessive discomfort or irritation occurs. Consult a healthcare provider for proper use during recovery or post-surgery.
