What Conditions Does this Support Help With?

Providing you with Level 3 Protection (see below for how McDavid Protection Levels work), the McDavid Ankle Support offers major support for serious instabilities, injury prevention and joint protection after surgery. This ankle brace can help support and promote healing for conditions and injuries such as:

• Moderate to major instabilities
• Sprains
• Tendonitis
• Bursitis
• Arthritis
• Post-surgical protection

How Do the McDavid Protection Levels Work?

McDavid braces are classified with three levels of protection, each of which helps with different injury severities and stages of recovery:

• Level 1 (Primary Protection): 
  • Minor pains
  • Sprains
  • Tendonitis
  • Bursitis
  • Arthritis
• Level 2 (Advanced Protection): 
  • Minor to moderate ligament instabilities
  • Swelling
  • Sprains
  • Pain relief from chronic conditions
• Level 3 (Major Protection): 
  • Moderate to major instabilities
  • Proactive injury protection for weak joints
  • Post-surgical joint protection

Great for Recovering Athletes

The McDavid 4305 Phantom 3 Support uses a simple hook and loop strap design so that each user can find their customised level of compression. This is helpful for recovery as it allows you to adjust the level of support as you recover, or even mid-game to accommodate pain flare-ups. Also, even with the strap the McDavid Brace is really thin, perfect for narrow footwear like football boots. 

Anatomical Stays for Flexible Support

While some ankle braces use rigid stays to prevent harmful ankle movement, this can really inhibit flexibility during athletic activity. The McDavid 4305 Sleeve uses flexible, contoured stays which maintain healthy rotation, without making your ankle too stiff. 

Vertical Stirrup Straps for Stability

Using figure-8 strapping, the McDavid Phantom 3 Brace compresses the ankle from multiple angles for both medial and lateral stability. This helps prevent ankle rolling  or collapsing, as well as the re-injury of weak or recovering ankles.

Prefer a Strapless Ankle Brace?

This McDavid 4305 Ankle Brace uses a wraparound strap that functions like athletic taping for personalised ankle compression that isn't too bulky. However, if you would prefer an even more streamline ankle support, we also carry the McDavid 4302 Ankle Support. It has a really similar design, but without the strap, so is less fiddly, but offers less customisation.
