Push Med Ankle Brace Aequi Flex

The Push Med Aequi Flex Brace is very distinctive in its added flexibility and comprehensive compression of the affected area. The brace has an enlarged flexible shell covering the ankle ensuring evenly distributed compression. The Aequi Flex is very effective in cases of treatment of acute ankle injuries.  The rigid support is situated exclusively on the medial side of the ankle and has a recess for the malleolus.

The functional strap can easily be brought into position following the level of swelling in the (sub) acute phase.  Additional compression to the joint can be provided by adjusting two elastic straps individually.  As a result, the inversion – and eversion movement is properly restricted, while an adequate freedom of plantar/dorsal flexion is allowed.  This means that during walking, normal movement patterns of the foot are not inhibited.  The use of flexible materials guarantees optimal fit and comfort for the user.

Indications for using the Push Med Ankle Aequi Flex Brace

• Treatment of acute lateral ankle ligament lesions
• Follow-up treatment of conservative or operated ankle fractures
• Serious (residual) instability
• Secondary prevention of ankle ligament lesions

Features and Benefits of the Push Med Ankle Aequi Flex Brace

• Rigid support on medial side of ankle (with a recess for the malleolus), combined with preformed foam on the lateral side that easily adapts to the ankle shape for a close, comfortable fit.
• Provides compression to treat swelling, via the comprehensive shell that evenly distributes compression, and elastic straps that offer additional support.
• Then adapts for ongoing support after acute phase: one brace for both acute and ongoing support.
• Tightness of straps can be adjusted as swelling subsides.
• Restricts inversion and eversion while allowing freedom of dorsal and plantar flexion movement.
