Straight ankle brace Sports

The Bauerfeind Sports ankle support, with its eight-strap system and breathable AirKnit, stabilises the ankle and reduces pain caused by medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints), sprains, and strains. Its strap system provides individually adjustable stabilisation similar to a bandage, and its unique AirKnit material improves circulation and stimulates muscle regeneration to help athletes perform at their best.

• Offers pain relief, joint stabilisation, and increases proprioception
• Individually adjustable eight-strap system, easier to put on, reusable, and more durable than a bandage
• Breathable, lightweight, washable, and moisture-wicking AirKnit compression for added comfort
• Anatomical contour for a precise fit - right and left versions easily fit in shoes
• Indications: medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints), ankle sprains and strains, swelling

The eight-strap system of the Sports ankle support provides stability comparable to an athletic bandage. It is more durable, easier to apply, and fits perfectly inside shoes. The strap system is breathable, soft on the skin, and maintains its stability during intense activities.

Relief from shin pain
Medial tibial stress syndrome, also known as shin splints, is a common source of pain for many runners and athletes. Contributing factors include ankle laxity, previous injuries, and/or repetitive stress on the tibia and connective tissues that attach surrounding muscles to the bone.

The Sports ankle support stabilises the ankle without altering its natural gait or limiting range of motion. This increased stability reduces stress on the tibia, thereby alleviating pain. A clinical survey revealed that the Sports ankle support reduced the average pain level caused by shin splints from 7.8/10 to 1/10 after just four weeks.

Improved Breathability, Compression, and Comfort
The AirKnit material from Bauerfeind is lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking, and washable, allowing you to comfortably wear the Sports ankle support again and again. Its textured compression stabilises the ankle while allowing maximum freedom of movement, making it ideal for walkers, runners, and athletes of all levels.

The AirKnit material provides medical-grade compression to increase circulation and reduce swelling. It reduces loads on joints, tendons, and ligaments during use while enhancing proprioception, which can lead to increased confidence and lower injury rates.
