The Elastoplast Adjustable Ankle Support helps to support and provide compression to ankles that are weak or have been previously injured. By providing compression and warmth, it helps to reduce and potentially prevent further pain in the ankle joints and tendons. It also helps to reduce swelling, pain, and recovery time following minor sprains and strains. In conjunction with adequate rest and recovery, use of an ankle brace can improve mobility and prevent re-injury. The adjustable velcro straps keep the support in place all day while allowing the right fit for your comfort level. The skin-friendly neoprene material fits under most footwear and is also washable for convenient care. This support is designed for a custom fit and firm support, making it ideal to support recovery after sprains, and other minor ankle injuries. It is suitable for both men and women, and can be worn on either the left or right ankle.
