Short Description
The Aircast Air-Stirrup Universe 02E delivers proven support for ankle sprains and chronic instability. Featuring the patented Duplex™ aircell system, the Air-Stirrup Universe ankle brace provides pulsating compression to reduce swelling, enhance circulation, and accelerate recovery. With a universal fit design, this semi-rigid brace can be worn on either ankle and fits comfortably inside most shoes.
The Aircast Air-Stirrup Universe 02E is trusted worldwide for functional ankle injury management. Unlike basic supports or tape, this semi-rigid brace uses anatomical shells lined with patented Duplex™ aircells to deliver graduated compression with every step. This promotes circulation, reduces edema, and helps patients get back on their feet faster.
Designed for universal fit (left or right foot, one-size-fits-most), the Air-Stirrup Universe ankle brace provides protection against inversion injuries while still allowing natural flexion for walking. Whether used immediately after an acute ankle injury or for long-term instability, it offers reliable stabilization and all-day comfort.
