Short Description
The Hely & Weber ViseLoc Ankle Brace (319) delivers powerful stabilization for high ankle sprains and syndesmotic injuries using its unique Syndesmosis Support System and three-zone speed lacing. This low-profile brace provides “vise-like” compression around the tibia and fibula to restore ankle stability, relieve pain, and fit comfortably inside athletic or everyday shoes. Ideal for recovery, injury prevention, and return-to-sport protection.
The Hely & Weber ViseLoc Ankle Orthosis (319) is the specialized, medical-grade brace engineered to provide targeted stabilization for Syndesmosis (High Ankle) Sprains and stable distal fibula fractures. It delivers a superior level of support compared to standard lace-up or stirrup braces, ensuring high-demand athletes and workers can return to activity safely and confidently.</p> <p>The core innovation is the patented Syndesmosis Support System (SSS), which creates "vise-like" compression, effectively controlling tibia-fibula separation and restoring joint integrity while maintaining a low-profile fit.
Hely & Weber Viseloc Ankle Orthosis Features & Benefits
- Syndesmosis Support System (SSS): Utilizes two non-stretching circumferential straps that apply a controlled AP (anterior-posterior) squeeze around the lower leg. This action mimics professional orthopedic manipulation, directly stabilizing the AITFL and PITFL—the ligaments responsible for high ankle stability.
- Three-Zone Speed Lacing System: Allows for rapid, customized tensioning across the forefoot, mid-foot, and ankle zones independently. This is critical for achieving a secure, custom fit and managing comfort, especially over a swollen or tender high ankle.
- Targeted High Ankle Relief: Provides reliable stabilization for Grade II or higher Syndesmosis Sprains and effective compression for stable distal fibula fractures, positioning the ViseLoc as a premium, specialized orthopedic tool.
- Durable Ballistic Nylon Construction: Made from rugged, high-strength ballistic nylon for long-lasting performance and resistance to stretching in aggressive sports environments.
- Enhanced Comfort & Fit: Seamless sole construction, along with an adjustable throat opening, eliminates pressure points and reduces irritation during prolonged or high-impact wear.
- Clinical Standard: PDAC Approved: L1902—Confirming the device meets the regulatory standards for specialized orthotic devices.
- Universal Design: Fits both the left and right ankle.
- Available in six sizes: See Size and Fit tab for sizing chart and measurement/fit help.
Indications
The Hely Weber Viseloc Ankle Brace (319) is a specialized device indicated for non-operative management where maximum stability and targeted compression of the lower leg are required. Its primary use is for:
Syndesmosis Management & Recovery:
- Syndesmosis Sprains (High Ankle Sprains): Indicated for moderate to severe (Grade II or higher) sprains of the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) and posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL).
- Tibia-Fibula Stabilization: Used to control the separation of the distal tibia and fibula, which is the hallmark of a high ankle injury.
- Stable Fractures: Provides circumferential compression and support for stable distal fibula fractures (e.g., non-displaced lateral malleolus fractures).
Prophylaxis & Post-Trauma Protection:
- Post-Surgical Protection: Used after surgical repair of the syndesmosis (e.g., after the removal of a syndesmotic screw).
- High-Demand Athletic Protection: Recommended for athletes participating in contact sports (e.g., Football, Hockey, Skiing) where the risk of high ankle trauma is elevated.
