The Dynaflex™ G6730 TPE Compound offers a cutting-edge alternative to traditional materials like canvas for ankle braces. Let’s break down why this material makes the Vero Ankle® brace better.
Flexibility and Softness
Dynaflex™ is a type of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that’s soft and flexible, much like rubber. This flexibility allows it to bend and move naturally with your body, offering a comfortable fit without feeling stiff or rough. In contrast, canvas is a stiff, woven fabric that lacks stretch, making it harder to fit snugly around your ankle or move fluidly with your foot.
Grip and Compression
One of the standout features of Dynaflex™ is its excellent grip, which is crucial for a brace. This grippy quality helps secure your ankle, reducing unnecessary movement and lowering the risk of reinjury. Canvas, however, doesn’t have the same gripping ability. Over time, it can loosen with use, potentially compromising the brace’s support.
Stretchability and Strength
Dynaflex™ boasts impressive stretchability, capable of extending up to 530% without breaking. This makes it ideal for conforming to various foot shapes and sizes while maintaining strong support. Canvas, on the other hand, has minimal stretch, which can result in a poor fit—too tight in some areas and too loose in others—and is more prone to wear and tear.
Durability and Weather Resistance
Weather resistance is another area where Dynaflex™ shines. It remains unaffected by moisture, sunlight, or temperature changes, ensuring long-lasting effectiveness. Canvas, by comparison, degrades faster when exposed to wet or dirty conditions and tends to lose its strength and support over time.
Customizable Design
Dynaflex™ is highly versatile when it comes to shaping and coloring. It can be easily molded into ergonomic designs for a secure, custom fit and is available in various colors, adding a touch of style to functionality. Canvas, in contrast, lacks this adaptability and can’t offer the same snug, secure fit or aesthetic options.
The Verdict
In summary, Dynaflex™ is a super-flexible, weather-resistant material that outperforms canvas in almost every way. It fits better, holds your ankle securely, lasts longer, and even looks better. For a brace that truly keeps your ankle safe and supported, Dynaflex™ is the superior choice. Try the Vero Ankle® brace to feel it in action.
