How Can I Make the Most of the Injury Recovery Kit?

It's simple to make the most of the Sport Ankle Injury Recovery Kit. If you suffer from reoccurring ankle pain, we would recommend using the Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace while playing sport to allow extra support and protection to your ankle, and then use the Dura Soft Ankle Ice Pack Wrap after the cool down to help reduce any inflammation that may have occurred.

Alternatively, if you do suffer an ankle injury while playing sport, we would recommend using the RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) method of rehabilitation. Rest your ankle, wear the Dura Soft Ice Pack on your ankle, and once swelling has reduced place the Aircast Sport over your foot and ankle like a sock where it will start to compress your injury.

I Suffer Reoccurring Ankle Pain; Is the Saver Kit Suitable for Me?

The Ankle Injury Recovery Kit is suitable for reducing pain and instability in the weeks following an injury, and in the immediate aftermath of the injury taking place. This means that it is suitable if you do have ongoing ankle problems, but it too can help if you've pulled a tendon, or sprained your ankle during yesterday's morning run. We would recommend the pack for many injury problems, including:

• Acute ankle distortion
• Ankle strains
• Chronic ankle instability
• Ligament lesion
• Mild ankle sprains
• Post-operative applications
• Prophylaxis
• Reoccurring ankle pain

Can I Wear the Airsport Ankle Brace While Playing Sports?

You can wear the Ankle Brace while playing sports as it is designed to offer dexterity and movement of the foot while using a special cross strap for stabilisation. By forcing your foot to be stable, you can reduce the risk of your foot slipping into an awkward position. Sports where the kit would be useful include:

• Football
• Cricket
• Tennis
• Hockey
• Basketball
• Netball
• Squash
• Volleyball
• Running

How Does the Dura Ice Pack Wrap Work?

The Dura Soft Foot Ice Pack Wrap is easy enough to use. By placing an ice insert into the wrap, you can provide cold therapy to the inflamed area, which has the effect of reducing inflammation while causing numbing, perfect for reducing pain.

Place your foot through the ice pack as if wearing a shoe

Dura Soft Foot & Ankle Ice Pack Wrap

Using the Dura Soft Foot & Ankle Ice Pack Wrap takes a little longer. By following these simple instructions you can provide ice or heat compression therapy:

1. Place gel inserts in the resealable bag and place in the freezer until the gel inserts are frozen solid.
2. Remove the gel inserts form the resealable bag when frozen and place the inserts into the wrap.
3. Apply wrap to area of treatment by attaching Velcro fastener to outer wrap fabric. The straps should be applied with enough stretch to keep wrap in place and provide desired compression.
4. The wrap can be hand washed and air dried; gel inserts can be cleaned with water, a moist towel or sponge.
5. The gel inserts can also be used to provide heat therapy. Place the gel inserts in a deep pan and run hot tap water into the pan until inserts are covered. Keep the inserts immersed for 3-5 minutes, do not use tap water that is too hot to the touch, dry the gel inserts and apply as above.
