Left sports ankle guard

The sports ankle support from Bauerfeind, with its figure-eight strap system and breathable AirKnit, stabilises the ankle and reduces pain caused by medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints), sprains, and strains. Its strap system offers adjustable stabilisation, similar to a bandage, and its unique AirKnit material improves circulation and stimulates muscle regeneration to help athletes perform at their best.

• Provides pain relief, joint stabilisation, and increases proprioception

• Individually adjustable figure-eight strap system, easier to put on, reusable, and more durable than a bandage

• Breathable, lightweight, washable AirKnit compression that wicks moisture for added comfort

• Anatomical contour for a precise fit - right and left versions fit easily in shoes

• Indications: medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints), sprains and strains of the ankle, swelling

Adjustable strap for ankle stabilisation

The figure-eight strap system of the sports ankle support offers stability equivalent to that of sports bandages. It is more durable, easier to apply, and fits perfectly inside shoes. The strap system is breathable, soft on the skin, and maintains its stability during intense activities.

Relief from shin pain

Medial tibial stress syndrome, also known as shin splints, is a common source of pain for many runners and athletes. Contributing factors include ankle laxity, previous injuries, and/or repetitive stress on the tibia and connective tissues that attach surrounding muscles to the bone.

The sports ankle support stabilises the ankle without altering its natural gait or limiting range of motion. This increased stability reduces stress on the tibia, thus alleviating pain. A clinical survey revealed that the sports ankle support reduced the average pain level from shin splints from 7.8/10 to 1/10 after just four weeks.

Improvement in breathability, compression, and comfort

The AirKnit material from Bauerfeind is lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking, and washable, allowing you to comfortably wear the sports ankle support time and time again. Its textured compression stabilises the ankle while allowing maximum freedom of movement, making it ideal for walkers, runners, and athletes of all levels.

The AirKnit material provides medical-grade compression to increase circulation and reduce swelling. It reduces stress on joints, tendons, and ligaments throughout its use while enhancing proprioception, which can lead to better confidence and lower injury rates.
