Sports medicine and performance brand OS1st has released the newest product in its Brace Layer System, the AF7 Ankle Bracing Sleeve. Like all of the technical products in the OS1st line of bracing sleeves, the AF7 Ankle Bracing Sleeve contains patented Compression Zone Technology for graduated medical grade support.
In addition, this product launch introduces a new feature called K-Zone Technology, a fabrication technique and gel application that eliminates the use of plastic or metal for stabilizing the ankle. The ankle stabilizer zone fuses into a lateral gel bar for a seamless and strapless bracing effect that replicates various clinical taping techniques. The result is an ankle brace that is thin enough to wear even under your favorite sock and with any shoe, powerful enough to aid balance and help stabilize injured or weakened ankles, and comfortable enough to use every day.
“We remain committed to designing active bracing products for runners to actually be able to run in comfortably. Our products are designed to stabilize not immobilize. The AF7 Ankle Brace is an exciting addition to our lineup and represents the next level in high-tech bracing design,” says Josh Higgins, VP, Sales.
