ActyLight
Ultra-lightweight ankle support

Indications

The DonJoy ActyLight ankle brace is particularly recommended for the initial management of chronic ankle instability in patients requiring effective support whilst maintaining mobility. It is a suitable solution to support the treatment of mild to moderate sprains of the lateral ankle ligaments.

This ankle brace is indicated for isolated stage I syndesmotic injuries, providing targeted support without excessive rigidity. It is ideal for a gradual return to sport by helping to prevent and control inversion and eversion movements, which are responsible for the majority of ankle injuries.

People suffering from chronic ligament instability will find that this ankle brace provides reassuring support which improves proprioception and reduces the risk of repeated sprains. It effectively supports a return to sporting and everyday activities by offering optimal protection against excessive lateral movements, whilst allowing sufficient freedom of movement to maintain a natural gait.

Description

The DonJoy ActyLight ankle brace combines lightness, comfort and effectiveness thanks to its innovative design, specially developed to meet the needs of active people suffering from ankle instability.

‘Step-in’ system with rear opening

This ankle brace stands out for its clever design with a rear opening, which allows for simple, quick and hassle-free application. The patient can put the ankle brace on easily by simply sliding their foot inside, without having to perform any complex manoeuvres or struggle with rigid straps. This ease of use promotes treatment compliance and allows for complete independence, even for people with mobility or dexterity difficulties.

Lace locking mechanism

The lacing system incorporates an innovative locking mechanism that ensures a precise fit that is maintained over time. Once the desired level of compression has been achieved, the locking mechanism prevents the gradual loosening that can occur during movement or physical activity. This feature ensures consistent and reliable support throughout the day, without the need for frequent readjustments.

8-shaped stabilising straps

The anatomically shaped 8-shaped straps are the key element in this ankle brace’s biomechanical control. Their specific design effectively controls inversion (inward rolling of the foot) and eversion (outward rolling of the foot) movements, which are the main mechanisms behind ankle sprains. The intuitive positioning of these straps makes it easy to fit them correctly, even for a non-professional user.

Adjustable anatomical side panels

The anatomically contoured side supports mould perfectly to the shape of the ankle and provide optimal joint stability without creating uncomfortable pressure points. These supports can be repositioned to accommodate different malleolar heights depending on each user’s anatomy, thus ensuring a personalised fit and maximum comfort. This adaptability also allows the ankle brace to be used in the presence of residual oedema, as the supports can be adjusted as the swelling subsides.

Lightweight and breathable technical fabrics

The fabrics used have been specially selected for their exceptional lightness (just 90 grams) and their breathable properties. These technical materials help keep the foot cool and dry even during prolonged physical activity or in hot weather. This optimal ventilation prevents maceration, reduces odours and significantly improves comfort, which is particularly important for everyday or sporting use.

Compatibility with footwear and discretion

The slim profile and ergonomic design allow the ankle brace to fit comfortably inside any type of footwear, whether trainers, smart shoes or work boots. This versatility means the ankle brace can be worn in all everyday situations without needing to adapt your wardrobe or kit. The bilateral design fits either the right or left ankle, making it easy to manage and store.

Technical specifications

Available in 4 sizes (XS, S, M, L) to suit all body types, the ankle brace guarantees an optimal fit when the correct size is selected. Weighing just 90 grams, it is one of the lightest ankle supports in its category, offering protection and support without feeling heavy or bulky.
