Short Description
Hely & Weber RAPID Zap Ankle Orthosis (318): Lightweight, low-profile brace featuring a revolutionary three-zone speed lacing system and figure-8 straps to stop ankle roll-over. The ankle brace fits easily in athletic shoes.
The Hely & Weber RAPID Zap Ankle Orthosis (Model 318) is the ultimate solution for dynamic, low-profile support. This premium lace-up ankle brace is expertly designed to provide superior stabilization against inversion/eversion (roll-over) injuries while remaining comfortable enough to wear inside athletic or everyday shoes.
The Rapid ZAP bridges the gap between basic performance sleeves and rigid medical supports. With its adaptable lacing system and Figure-8 taping-style straps, it delivers near-custom support that is ideal for active lifestyles, sports performance, and the critical return-to-sport phase of recovery.
Hely & Weber RAPID Zap Ankle Brace Features & Benefits
- Three-Zone Speed Lacing System: Allows for independent micro-adjustment across the forefoot, mid-foot, and ankle zones. This customizable tightening ensures a precise, secure fit that prevents heel slippage without restricting circulation.
- Figure-8 Stabilizing Straps: Non-elastic straps that mimic professional athletic taping in a preferred neutral position. This provides dynamic resistance to lateral movement, effectively resisting roll-over injuries while allowing natural walking and running motion.
- Seamless, Comfortable Build: Constructed with durable material and a seamless design that maximizes comfort and minimizes chafing or irritation, even during high-impact sports or when worn for extended periods inside shoes.
- Swelling Accommodation & Quick Fit: An adjustable lacing panel opens wide, making the orthosis easier to apply and remove, especially for swollen or painful ankles post-injury.
- Elastic Cuff Closure: Secures the lacing system and straps, providing an extra layer of compression and stability around the ankle joint.
- Universal Compatibility: Designed to be worn on either the left or right foot, simplifying ordering and inventory.
- Seven sizes XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL - See Size and Fit tab for sizing chart and measurement/fit help.
- PDAC Approved Code: L1902
