Air Ankle Brace

What Is an Air Splint for Ankle?

An ankle air brace is a very useful medical device. When a patient suffers an ankle injury, such as a sprain or fracture, the ankle brace can be inflated to provide stabilizing pressure to keep the ankle in a proper position. This helps to minimize movement of the injured area and prevent further injury. 

In addition, ankle braces are relatively comfortable to wear compared to traditional rigid splints. It is made of a softer material that adapts itself to the shape of the ankle when inflated. At the same time, it reduces pressure on the skin and soft tissues, reducing the risk of impaired circulation.
