Thuasne Ligacast Air+ Ankle Stirrup Brace for Sprains

The level of compression and immobilisation your ankle requires after a sprain will vary based on injury severity, making the adjustable air cells of the Thuasne Ligacast Air+ Ankle Stirrup Ankle Brace a perfect option. The air cells can be inflated to provide firm yet comfortable compression, and combine with the rigid outer shell to provide strong support for moderate-to-severe sprains and Achilles injuries.

Who Can Make Gains with the Thuasne Ligacast Air+ Ankle Support?

If your ankle sprain is preventing you from performing athletically, but still accommodates some weight-bearing, the rigid immobilisation and firm compression will be exactly what you need. The lateral pads can be inflated to your desired level, with each pump increasing both the compression and lateral immobilisation of the ankle joint. These effects combine to provide you with the perfect customised level of support, helping you get back to your best as quickly as possible.

Is the Ligacast Ankle Brace Suitable for Swollen Ankles?

The Thuasne Ligacast is ideal for use when recovering from swelling or oedema caused by ankle sprains. We would recommend using the Ligacast as part of RICE recovery, as outlined below:

• Rest: Try and avoid putting your ankle under any undue strain
• Ice: Ice your ankle regularly, using a product such as the Dura Soft Foot and Ankle Ice Pack Wrap
• Compression: Compression will reduce pain and swelling while promoting blood flow
• Elevation: Keeping your ankle elevated can help with circulation

Rigid Side Shells

Designed with two rigid side shells, the Ligacast Brace with Air Pads stabilises your ankle to help improve your injury. The Velcro straps can also be tightened to further immobilise your ankle and provide the necessary support.
