The Ossur Gel Ankle Brace
stabilizes the ankle and provides compression for swelling and pain associated
with ankle sprains, ankle fractures and weak ankles. The brace is among our
favorites for acute ankle sprains and stable ankle fractures. The upper chamber is filled with foam,
and the lower chamber is filled with gel, ensuring a custom fit every time. The
brace is perfect for cold therapy with ankle injury. Place the liner in the
freezer for two hours and then return the liner to the brace for an effective cold compress.

Indications - The Gel Ankle Brace is used in the care and
treatment of acute and chronic lateral ankle instability. The brace also may be
used after
ankle surgery.

Care Tip! When shopping for an ankle brace ask yourself this question: Am I looking
for a brace that provides lateral ankle stability or compression for swelling? On a scale of 1-5 (1
poor/5 best) we rate the DarcoGel Ankle Brace a '3' for control of ankle
instability and '4' for ankle swelling. We primarily recommend
the Gel Ankle Brace for acute sprains and not for long-term control of
instability in sports. Be sure to check out each of our other
ankle supports for additional information.
