The Flamingo Ankle Grip – Large is an elastic ankle support designed to provide moderate compression and support around the ankle during everyday activities, exercise and recovery. Flamingo lists it for ankle sprains and strains, arthritis and chronic ankle instability.
Its anatomically shaped construction provides more uniform compression around the ankle, while the figure-8 application of the elastic material provides additional support around the joint. The design allows natural ankle movement rather than completely restricting mobility.
Made from 4-way stretch knit fabric, the ankle grip is designed to move with the ankle and can be worn with footwear. The open-toe and closed-heel construction also helps provide a secure anatomical fit. Flamingo states that the product can be used on either the left or right ankle.

Key Features
Anatomical Ankle Design

4-Way Stretch Knit Fabric
The 4-way stretch construction allows the support to flex with ankle movement while maintaining compression and support.
