Model: MalleoLoc Bauerfeind MalleoLoc Ankle Brace
The Bauerfeind MalleoLoc Ankle Brace is an excellent stabilizing solution designed for lightweight stability to prevent ankle rollover - all without sacrificing any mobility. The contoured design maximizes comfort while providing protection against a serious ankle injury. It's made from a moldable plastic which can be heated to make minor fitting adjustments. A combination of foam padding on the inside of the Bauerfeind Malleoloc Ankle Brace along with an open, low profile design, allow for increased comfort and heat transfer unlike typical lace-up designs. It features a semi-rigid design and provides a combination of support with a little give for enhanced comfort. This model will fit inside almost any athletic or dress shoe without difficulty. The Bauerfeind Malleoloc Ankle Brace is ideal for patients suffering from chronic ankle sprains, posterior tibialis tendonitis, and people involved in athletics.

Bauerfeind MalleoLoc Ankle Brace Fitting Guide:
We encourage you to check the fit around the foot and ankle. If it is not flush against the foot, the thermoplastic material can be easily reshaped by using a heat gun.
Here is a quick checklist to determine if the MaleoLoc needs to be reshaped.
Once the product is fastened to the patients foot check for any gaps and/or pressure points. There are two critical points where most of the heating and adaptation must be done - both are found at the lower outside part of the shell:
1) Outer shell near the plastic strap buckle
2) Outer shell at the bottom of the foot
Heating and Adaptation Instructions (WITH THE Bauerfeind Maleoloc OFF THE FOOT):
Peel back the inner foam liner to prevent damage to it from the heat treatment, but you do not have to remove it completely (around two-thirds peeled back). It is easier to remove the inner foam liner when it is cold - you can achieve this by putting it in the freezer for a few minutes. The glue in the inner liner is heat-sensitive. This means that if the plastic shell is heated on the exterior with a heat gun without peeling back the inner liner, then the glue will harden and it is very difficult to remove afterwards. However, this heat-sensitive glue will help the liner to adhere back to the shell by the body's own temperature while wearing the Bauerfeind MaleoLoc. Once the inner foam liner is pulled back, using a professional heat gun and heat protective gloves (leather gloves), carefully heat the plastic shell (around 400 degrees F) in the necessary area(s) until the plastic has a glossy shine.
Mold the plastic to its required shape and let cool. You can use a ball hammer to create a smoother, more rounded edge to the molded area if needed. Put the MaleoLoc on the foot and form the brace around the ankle.
