The Bio Skin AFTR DC supports and stabilizes your ankle to help treat a wide range of injuries. It also provides pain relief after you have experienced an ankle sprain. Additionally, it provides the unique combination of stabilization and high level compression which has made Bio Skin materials famous. It comes with both lateral and medial plastic stays and figure-8 stirrup straps to restrict hindfoot and ankle movement. This helps the joint to rest and thus promotes faster healing. For more effective healing, the AFTR DC will contour closely to your skin despite the volume changes that you can experience after an injury or surgery. The AFTR DC’s dorsal closure design facilitates application of (putting on) the brace.

LikeĀ  the AFTR ankle brace, the AFTR DCĀ  is made from Bio Skinā€™s Ultima 2SLā„¢Ā with its micro fleece lining. Ultima 2SL has aĀ  hook & loop compatible surface that provides extra flexibility in terms of compression,Ā  anchoring and closures.Ā  Ultima 2SLā„¢ provides a high comfort level due to itsĀ  hypoallergenicity and complete freedom from latex and neoprene. These properties eliminate any risk of adverse skin reactions.

The Bio Skin AFTR DC ankle brace comes with the SkinLokā„¢ feature. SkinLok improves the AFTRā€™s adherence to your skin as a reaction to moisture from water, sweat and even lotion. This improves stability and keeps the AFTR in its correct position, improving the therapeutic outcome.

The AFTR DC offers ease of application and is also trimmable for a customized fit. It is a great choice for patients with injured ankles but who have less swelling than normal.

Application Instructions

STEP 1: PULL THE BRACE ON LIKE A SOCK.

Make sure your heel fits snugly in the heel pocket and the blue lines are on top of your foot.
Note: If you are using the AFTR with Gel, you may need to adjust the position of the silicone gel pads before proceeding to the next step. They should wrap behind and underneath your ankle bones. If you need to adjust them, simply detach them and reposition them to the correct location.

STEP 2: CLOSE THE TOP OF THE BRACE.

Pull the wrap across the front of your ankle and attach it to the Velcro on the left side of the sleeve. Then secure the Velcro end of the wrap to the left side of the brace.

STEP 3: APPLY THE STIRRUP STRAPS.

Attach the Velcro tab in the middle of the strap to the fuzzy tab on the back of the ankle. Cross both ends of the strap over the top of your foot, then wrap them under your foot and up the sides of your ankle. Use the finger loops to pull up firmly then attach the Velcro ends to the sides of the brace.

STEP 4: TRIMMING THE AFTR BRACE TO LENGTH. (OPTIONAL)

The AFTR is designed to be trimmed in length by your healthcare provider if necessary. To trim the brace, complete steps 1 and 2 above, then use scissors to carefully trim around the circumference of the brace back to the desired length. Important: Leave at least one blue stitch line across each seam to prevent the seam from unraveling.

EASY CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Wash Bio SkinĀ® regularly to prevent body salt and oil build-up that naturally occurs after the product has been worn a few times. Attach the hook to the loop to prevent lint build-up. This will give your Bio SkinĀ® a longer life span.
