An ankle brace for sprains that supports and stabilizes the ankle during sports practice without restricting movement.

Indications for the Ergostrap® Sports Ankle Brace

Are you apprehensive about returning to sports after your sprain? You can now trust your footing thanks to the Ergostrap® Sport EPITACT® ankle brace!

This ankle brace for sprains supports and stabilizes the fragile ankle (following mild to moderate external sprains, chronic ankle instability, ligament laxity).

Thanks to the combination of reinforcements around the malleoli and a silicone strapping, it secures the ankle without hindering movement. It thus promotes the continuation and resumption of your activities. For optimal comfort, its reinforcements are thermoformable: they perfectly adapt to your morphology.

Usage Advice

  • Wash before first use and after each use.
  • Thermoform the ankle brace before use.
  • Wear the ankle brace over a sufficiently high sock to avoid discomfort during use. If you use compression sleeves on your calves, place them underneath the Ergostrap™ Sport as well.
  • Do not use while stationary; use only during your activity.

How to Thermoform the Ankle Brace for Sprains?

Thermoforming involves shaping the lateral reinforcements of the ankle brace to fit your morphology. It can be redone 4 to 5 times and can be done at home in just a few minutes.

Contraindications for the Sports Ankle Brace

  • Do not use the Ergostrap® on a skin lesion.
  • Do not use in cases of arteritis, diabetes, polyneuritis, or neuropathy of the lower limbs. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

How to Care for Your Ankle Brace?

The ankle brace for sprains is machine washable at 30 °C or can be hand washed (without rubbing) with water and soap. Do not use detergent or stain removers (bleach, acetone, nail polish remover, etc.). Let dry naturally. Do not expose to heat (> 50 °C). Discard and replace the device as soon as fabric or stitching deterioration appears.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the sports ankle brace be used if the ankle is swollen?

Yes, because the thermoformable reinforcements adapt to the morphology. Once the swelling has gone down, you can reshape the reinforcements so their form matches the joint’s volume.

Can the ankle brace be worn without the strapping or reinforcements?

The purpose of the ankle brace for sprains is to secure the unstable ankle by limiting its lateral movements. It is therefore necessary to use at least the thermoformable reinforcements or the strapping over the brace. For optimal effectiveness, we recommend using both together.

How to choose the right size?

Using a measuring tape, measure the circumference of your ankle just above the malleoli. Refer to the size chart available at the bottom of the page. If you hesitate between two sizes, choose the smaller one.
