Reh4Mat Ankle Brace for Children with Ankle Injuries

Does your child have an ankle injury, such as a sprain or a bruised ankle? An ankle brace is a supportive device that provides stability and protection to the ankle. It is used for ankle sprains, strains, chronic ankle instability, and as protection following cast immobilization. An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments connecting the bones in the ankle are overstretched. Typically, a sprain results in swelling and bruising around the ankle joint. Unfortunately, a sprained ankle has a much higher risk of re-injury, which makes prevention crucial.

How Does the Reh4Mat Neoprene Children’s Ankle Brace with Figure-8 Straps Work?

A figure-8 strap ankle brace provides stability and support to the ankle by wrapping around it in a figure-8 pattern. This ensures additional support, stabilization, keeps the ankle in place, and prevents unwanted movements. The figure-8 straps stabilize the ankle and provide support to its ligaments and joints, reducing the risk of excessive movements like lateral twists that can cause sprains.

The strap tension can be adjusted, allowing compression and support to be tailored to the child’s needs. Tighter straps offer greater stability, while looser straps allow more flexibility. The brace provides compression that helps reduce swelling and pain, speeding up the recovery process. The heat retained by the neoprene enhances blood circulation, further promoting faster recovery. Despite the extra stability, the figure-8 strap brace does not fully restrict mobility. This allows children to move freely, which is essential for their daily activities and sports.

Through these mechanisms, the figure-8 strap ankle brace effectively supports and protects children’s ankles, reducing the risk of injuries and promoting recovery.

Children’s Ankle Brace Made from Lightweight, Flexible, and Breathable AeroSpace II™ Material
The Reh4Mat children’s ankle brace is crafted from innovative AeroSpace II™ material, which is lightweight, flexible, and breathable, providing excellent ventilation and comfort. It is a stretchy 3D knit fabric consisting of two layers and an intermediate layer that creates the right thickness and cushioning properties. The fabric is made of high-quality polyester yarn for mechanical strength and spandex for the appropriate flexibility. AeroSpace II™ features a self-adhesive outer layer, allowing each product to be easily customized to the patient’s individual needs. This material is extremely lightweight, highly flexible, and has a large open structure that facilitates sweat wicking and allows fresh air to reach the skin. Products made from this material are neutral for the joint—they neither heat nor cool it—but ensure proper compression and fit, reducing muscle vibrations during physical activity. Its thickness and 3D structure perfectly cushion orthopedic splints, supports, or other mounted elements, guaranteeing a velvety soft touch.

AirRubber III™ Provides Targeted Support for Improved Compression
The straps are made from the innovative elastic material AirRubber III™, which features unidirectional elasticity. This means it stretches lengthwise but not widthwise, enhancing compression. Air flows freely between the braids, allowing the skin to breathe. Additionally, the high compression provides a gentle massage effect on the skin. Our orthopedic rubber is highly skin-friendly. The figure-8 straps offer customizable stabilization tailored to the patient’s individual needs. The FIX-KD-40 ankle sprain brace maintains the foot in inversion or eversion. Depending on the natural position of the foot, adjustments can be made to correct and hold the foot in the desired position.

The Children’s Ankle Brace features an innovative wrap-around design and can be used on a swollen joint and after healing. High-tech fabric ensures soothing compression and retains therapeutic warmth to reduce swelling and inflammation, relieve pain, and promote healing and confidence. Skin-friendly yet durable fabrics and innovative design make our FIX Braces collection the best solution for children.

Neoprene Ankle Brace for Children Suitable for Swimming

A neoprene ankle brace is ideal for children who enjoy swimming. Neoprene is a water-resistant material that does not absorb water, making it perfect for use in the pool or the sea. This ensures the brace remains lightweight and comfortable, even when wet. Additionally, neoprene provides a snug fit and support around the ankle, which is essential for children recovering from an injury or needing extra stability while swimming. The elastic material adapts to the shape of the ankle while providing sufficient freedom of movement, allowing children to enjoy swimming without restrictions. Furthermore, neoprene is durable and resistant to wear and tear, ensuring the ankle brace lasts long, even with regular use in water.

Durable Ankle Brace for Children During Sports

The Reh4Mat children’s ankle brace is also suitable for use during sports, such as soccer, hockey, tennis, volleyball, netball, and running. Activities that involve frequent twisting, sprinting, jumping, and directional changes increase the risk of ankle injuries in children. The figure-8 strap design helps keep the ankle stable, reducing the risk of new injuries and aiding in the recovery of existing ones.
