The Flamingo Ankle Brace – Medium is an orthopaedic ankle support designed to provide moderate support, compression and partial immobilisation for weak or injured ankles. Flamingo lists it for conditions including ankle sprain and strain, arthritis and chronic ankle instability.
Unlike a simple elastic ankle sleeve, this brace incorporates medio-lateral plastic splints on the sides to provide additional side-to-side ankle support. This construction is intended to help control excessive ankle movement while still allowing functional movement.
The brace uses soft laminated foam fabric for cushioning and incorporates a lace-pull mechanism that allows the user to adjust the fit and compression. Its open-heel design and left/right compatibility make it suitable for different users and everyday support requirements.

Key Features
Medio-Lateral Plastic Splints
Rigid plastic splints positioned along the sides of the ankle provide additional medio-lateral stability and support partial immobilisation.

The lace-pull system allows the user to adjust the tightness and compression according to their support requirements.
