Immobilization is one of the best way to assist an injured body part in healing, especially for areas that are held by ligaments, such as the ankle. Although ligaments are tough and flexible fibrous connective tissues, they are not exempt from wears and tears. This is where Aircast’s AirSport ankle support brace comes into play.

This Aircast ankle brace utilizes the advanced air cell technology. With it, your foot is firmly held in place and guided in the proper motion, which ultimately results in lesser risk of harm to your injury.

The AirSport ankle brace of Aircast is perfect for active people or athletes that are recovering from Grade I or Grade II ankle sprains. The AirSport is also recommended for anybody that is looking to prevent ankle sprains in general. Because of its semi-rigid encased shell, the ankle support brace provides stability and comfort to the ankle. Compared to the Aircast A60 ankle support, that doesn’t have this extra hard shell, the AirSport feels a lot more stable and better
