Inversion ankle sprain in children

The most common type of ankle sprain is an inversion injury, or lateral ankle sprain. It occurs when child twists foot upward and the ankle rolls inward. Inversion sprain means the child has injured one or more of the three main ligaments on the outside of the ankle. If the ankle joint is red and swollen, it could mean sprain. Unfortunately, once a sprained ankle has a much higher risk of reinjury, which is why prevention is so important. Our paediatric ankle brace FIX-KD-42 is ideal for this purpose.

AeroSpace II™ is an innovative new generation raw material. It is a distance elastic 3D knitted fabric consisting of two layers of facings and an interlacing that creates the appropriate thickness of the raw material and has relieving properties. The knitwear is made of the highest quality polyester yarn - guaranteeing high mechanical strength and spandex ensuring its proper flexibility. AeroSpace II™ has an external self-gripping layer what makes it easy to adjust each product to individual patient’s needs. This material is characterized by a very low weight, high flexibility and a very large openwork structure, allowing for very easy drainage of sweat from the body and bringing fresh air to the skin. Products made of this raw material are neutral to the secured joint, do not heat or cool it, but ensure its proper compression and fit and reduce muscle vibrations generated during physical exertion. Its thickness and 3D structure perfectly relieves the orthopedic splints, stays or other elements mounted on the product and guarantees velvety softness to the touch.

Our orthopedic spiral boning is a thin wire, coiled into a spring and flattened. We use boning of various widths and wire thicknesses, which determines the strength of their stabilization. Each spiral boning has two specially profiled fittings to prevent damage of the orthosis. They are galvanically protected against corrosion by the galvanizing process, so they are resistant to water, moisture and sweat. Products equipped with bonings can be washed without removing them from the orthosis. They work in every direction, perfectly adjusting to the user's body and have a shape memory function, thanks to which they always return to their original profile. This function causes the spiral boning in the orthosis to stabilize the swollen limb immediately after the injury and after the swelling has come off.

Paediatric ankle brace FIX-KD-42 offers innovative wrap-around design and may be used in case of swollen joint and after its healing.

Hi tech fabric provides soothing compression and retains therapeutic heat to reduce swelling and inflammation, relieve knee pain and promote healing and security.

Skin friendly but firm fabrics and innovative design make our FIX Braces collection the best solution for children.
