The Tynor Ankle Support Urbane D-18 is a flexible ankle brace designed to provide compression, support and stability around the ankle joint. Its anatomical construction follows the contours of the ankle, while strategically positioned silicone inserts help support the medial and lateral malleoli. This makes it suitable for users who need additional ankle support without the bulk of a rigid immobilizer.

The support uses a double-layer knitted nylon fabric with intermingled spandex, providing four-way stretch and relatively uniform compression across the varying contours of the foot and ankle. The pull-on design allows straightforward application, while the low-profile construction can be worn during suitable physical activities and inside compatible footwear.

Tynor positions the D-18 for weak or injured ankles, high-impact sporting activities and people prone to repetitive ankle injuries. It may also be used during periods of ankle swelling or post-cast care when appropriate, but the correct level of support should be determined according to the injury and professional advice.
