MedSpec ASO Vortex Ankle Stabilizer

Ultra Low-Profile Ankle Support with Figure-Eight Stabilizing Straps | POP
Options: X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large

🔷 Product Overview

The POP ASO Vortex Ankle Stabilizer delivers proven figure-eight stabilization in an ultra low-profile design, making it ideal for athletes and patients who want ankle support without bulky materials inside their footwear.

Unlike traditional ankle braces, the Vortex does not have a boot. Instead, it uses an upper body member, stabilizing straps and an elastic cuff. The stabilizing straps are the only components that spiral around the foot inside the shoe, helping minimize bulk while maintaining ankle support.

Durable nylon straps form a complete figure-eight to help stabilize the subtalar and talocrural joints, while an upgraded upper body member helps anchor the straps around the ankle and resist downward migration.

🔷 Ultra Low-Profile Design

The Vortex eliminates the traditional ankle brace boot. Its construction consists of an upper body member, stabilizing straps and elastic cuff.

Only the stabilizing straps spiral around the foot inside the shoe, reducing the amount of material between the foot and footwear.

This design makes the Vortex particularly useful when minimizing bulk inside a shoe is a priority.

🔷 Figure-Eight Stabilizing Straps

Nylon stabilizing straps create a complete figure-eight configuration to help stabilize the subtalar and talocrural joints.

The straps are angled where they attach to the brace, allowing them to better contour above the malleoli for enhanced comfort and improved resistance to migration.

🔷 Upgraded Upper Body Member

The upper portion of the Vortex incorporates 4 eyelets and an internal plastic rib.

This design helps anchor the stabilizing straps around the malleoli while also helping the brace resist distal, or downward, migration during wear.
