This ankle guard offers mild compression which can help reduce swelling around the ankle bone. The gel pads are molded within the elastic sleeve, providing a comfortable fit over the ankle bone while also protecting from abrasion, friction, shearing, chaffing, redness, and callous formation. Furthermore, this guard can be heated or chilled for hot/cold therapy and can even be combined with sports cream for added warmth. It also acts as an extra layer of padding inside AFO's, cam walkers, ski boots, hockey or artistic skates, and more.
