An ankle binder is a flexible wrap made of fabric or plastic that wraps around the ankle to provide gentle support and stability to the joint. Clinically, it is used to help manage mild sprains, strains, or swelling by reducing movement and promoting healing without restricting circulation.
These devices are typically reusable after proper cleaning and maintenance. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as low-risk medical devices due to their non-invasive and supportive nature, often requiring compliance with general safety and performance standards.
