An IM elastic ankle support, model ES-901, in size L (Large), worn like a short sock with an open heel and toes. It surrounds the ankle joint, providing light support and gentle compression during walking, daily movement and exercise. One piece covers one foot.
Key Features
- Moderate support and light ankle compression, as stated on the pack.
- Four-way stretch fabric follows the ankle's shape without restricting movement.
- A knitted design without prominent seams, allowing easy wear under a sock and inside a shoe.
- Breathable fabric suitable for hot weather and wearing for several hours.
- Keeps the ankle area warm; the company states that it stimulates circulation and speeds recovery.
How to Use
- Choose the size using the chart printed on the pack. An overly tight support is uncomfortable, while a loose one does not provide support.
- Put the foot into the support and pull it up until the opening sits at the heel and the fabric covers the ankle joint.
- Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild soap, then leave to dry in the shade away from heat sources.
Who Is It For?
For those needing light ankle support during long walks or sport, and gradual return to activity after a minor sprain under a doctor's or physiotherapist's supervision. Unsuitable for conditions requiring rigid joint immobilisation.
Precautions
- Remove the support if numbness, pain or blue discolouration of the toes occurs.
- Do not wear over an open wound or inflamed skin.
- Severe swelling or inability to stand after injury requires medical assessment first.
- People with diabetes or circulation problems should consult a doctor before use.
