The AFTR™ with Gel is a pull on ankle orthosis designed to stabilize the foot and ankle after trauma or surgery while managing edema and joint inflammation.
Features include:
Medial and Lateral Rigid Stirrup Strap
Removable J-shaped gel pads for focal malleolar swelling reduction
Trimmable construction for custom fit
Toe strapping compatibility for midfoot/post-surgical protocols
This pull on version is for fit individuals who have hand strength and dexterity. The benefit is usually a faster recovery result due to higher mmHg compression that improves circulation, reduces swelling, and increases proprioception.

After falling off a bike my daughter was given this by her podiatrist. It is thin, comfortable, and fits in her cheer shoe, She was able to keep practicing comfortably knowing her ankle was secure. Now the other cheer girls who want ankle supports want this brace too.

Prompt shipping. Terrific ankle brace. Extremely supportive w/out being overly bulky. Feels like a good ankle tape job!

After a severe ankle fracture and dislocation, I required surgery. 6 weeks NwB was hard, but then when it came time to walk I received a brace and was able to discontinue the walking boot. The brace that was given to me was I'll fitting and irritated the incision that not completely healed, so I was on the market for a new brace. After trying 4, I found this one. I'm so glad I gave it a try! My ankle is no longer swelling after an entire day (and taking care of two little boys). It fits wonderfully. Great support. I am so very thankfully for this brace.

I had a trimalleolar ankle fracture that required surgery, after six weeks of non weight bearing the doctor gave me an aircast brace and I got to discontinue the moon boot. My incision on my outer ankle has not completely healed and the aircast brace irritated it to where it wasn't healing, and it was very ill fitting; so I had to find a better option. After buying 4 different braces, that didn't give me the needed support or fit, I decided to try the BIOSKIN brace and I am thrilled with it. I am confident walking. My ankle is not swollen after an entire day of wearing it (and taking care of two little boys). I am very impressed and thankful for this product. I recommend it to anyone in the same boat as me. Gives wonderful support.
