How Do These Products Work Together?
These two ankle recovery products complement each other perfectly, as the Bauerfeind MalleoLoc Ankle Support provides support and stabilisation to allow your ankle to recover throughout the day, while the Dura Soft Ankle Ice Wrap provides cryotherapy to reduce pain and inflammation. Together, these products contribute to the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) principle, helping to accelerate the healing process as much as possible.
Who Should Use the Bauerfeind MalleoLoc Ankle Brace?
The MalleoLoc Ankle Support is ideal for immediate care and treatment of ankle injuries, and is best used directly after surgery or serious injuries. It's a perfect choice for those who are looking to help their ankle recover while maintaining their normal schedule, as it easily fits into the majority of footwear and prevents lateral twisting motions while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear.
Indications of the MalleoLoc Ankle Brace
The MalleoLoc Ankle Brace is suitable for the following indications:
- Capsular ligament strains
- Chronic ligament insufficiency
- Early functional treatment for injuries of the lateral malleolar ligament
- Post-operative rehabilitation
- Severe ankle sprains
How Does the Bauerfeind MalleoLoc Ankle Brace Work?
The MalleoLoc Brace works by stabilising the ankle with medial and lateral plastic shells while protecting it from lateral twisting without restricting natural motion. By stimulating the muscles around the ankle, especially the tibialis anterior, the stabilising and mobilising effects of the brace are heightened.
Instructions for use of the Dura Soft Foot & Ankle Ice Pack Wrap
To properly use the Dura Soft Foot and Ankle Ice Pack Wrap, follow these instructions:
- Place gel inserts in the resealable bag and place in the freezer until the gel inserts are frozen solid.
- Remove the gel inserts form the resealable bag when frozen and place the inserts into the wrap.
- Apply the wrap to area of treatment by attaching hook or Velcro fastener to the outer wrap fabric. The straps should be applied with enough stretch to keep the wrap in place and provide desired compression.
- The wrap can be hand washed and air dried, gel inserts can be cleaned with water, a moist towel or sponge.
Can the Dura Soft Wrap Provide Heat Therapy?
Yes, the Dura Soft Ankle and Foot Wrap can can also be used to provide heat therapy. To heat the wrap, 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, then dry the gel inserts and apply as above.
Can I Use The MalleoLoc Ankle Brace During Sports and Exercise?
This ankle brace is for the first stages of recovery, as it is designed for use directly after injury or surgery. It it not recommended for use during sports. Once your ankle has healed enough to restart exercise, we would recommend use of the following braces:
- Support and Stabilisation for Beginning Exercise – Once you feel comfortable that your ankle is ready to begin sports, we would recommend you switch to the Bauerfeind MalleoTrain S Ankle Support. This support provides support and stabilisation of the ankle, while allowing your foot more freedom than the MalleoLoc Brace. It protects against supination (rolling your ankle outwards), which makes it ideal for protecting a recovering ankle during the sudden changes of direction that sport can involve.
- Injury Avoidance Following Recovery – Once your recovery process is complete, a brace that provides compression and light stabilisation can help you regain confidence and avoid re-injury. The Bauerfeind MalleoTrain Ankle Support is ideal for this purpose, made with highly elastic materials that help to support your ligaments while being comfortable enough to wear without any athletic deficit.
Is The MalleoLoc Ankle Support Comfortable?
The Bauerfeind MalleoLoc Ankle Brace fits snugly on the foot and can be worn without difficulty in almost any sturdy shoe. It also has special low-fatigue cushioning to increase wearing comfort of the ankle brace, meaning it's so comfortable you won't want to take it off!
How Much Support Does the MalleoLoc Provide?
This support provides a high degree of support and stabilisation. This allows it to be used immediately after injury or surgery, providing the user with peace of mind that their ankle is fully protected.
Can I Move Normally When Wearing the MalleoLoc?
While this brace prevents ankle rollover and painful twisting movements, it still allows normal heel-to-toe movement of the foot. This means you'll still be able to walk normally with the peace of mind that your ankle is protected from rollover and further injury.
Is the MalleoLoc Easy to Apply?
This ankle brace is made with a Velcro strap system, making it easy to apply in seconds with minimal disruption to your daily routine. To apply the brace, follow these simple steps (more detailed application instructions with images can be found inside the front cover of the included instruction manual):
- Place your ankle in between the medial and lateral sides of the plastic shell
- Tighten the top strap around your lower calf for maximum stability while maintaining comfort
- Wrap the lower strap around your ankle just above the ankle bone, then feed the strap through the loop and tighten as desired
Are Spare Straps Available for the MalleoLoc?
After long term or heavy use, a spare strap may be necessary to maintain the MalleoLoc's full rehabilitation capacity.
