Lateral Shell Control for Unstable Ankles
The Bauerfeind MalleoLoc L targets lateral ankle stability with a contoured shell and straps. The shell sits along the outer side of the lower leg and foot. A strap system secures the brace and limits harmful inversion while allowing plantar flexion and dorsiflexion. Soft padding lines the shell to protect the skin.
You walk and perform daily tasks with improved confidence when you wear the Bauerfeind MalleoLoc L. The design stabilises the lateral ligaments without fully enclosing the ankle. The slim profile fits most shoes, which supports everyday and occupational use. This brace suits chronic lateral instability and rehabilitation after ligament injury.

- Prevention of chronic ligament instability and recurring sprains.
- Inflammatory and degenerative functional impairments where lateral stability is needed.
- When walking on uneven surfaces or when walking more quickly, taking the stairs, or during minor sporting activities such as hiking or cycling, the MalleoLoc L orthosis protects an unstable ankle from excessive strain. It prevents spraining and helps to put the foot down securely. Since its shell is positioned exclusively on the side of the lateral malleolus (side of the ankle facing away from the body), it is particularly slim and fits in sports shoes as well as business shoes.
The Bauerfeind MalleoLoc L is a slim, one sided ankle orthosis designed to stabilise the outside of the ankle after injury or when ligament weakness makes the joint feel unstable. Its anatomically shaped L shell and securing straps are positioned to help protect against sprains while allowing natural heel to toe movement during everyday walking.

PROTECTIVE SHELL AND STRAPS
The MalleoLoc L’s anatomically shaped L shell is positioned on the lower leg, sitting in front of the lateral malleolus, and extending slightly across the instep. It is fastened at the lower leg and the foot using two non-elastic Velcro straps. This means the orthosis protects the ankle from incorrect movements which may cause recurring sprains. The foot’s natural heel-to-toe movement is supported. If required, you can attach a small functional cushion (plantar pad) on the sole of the foot. During walking, its counter-pressure stimulates the muscles that are responsible for lifting the foot, contributing to the active stabilization of the ankle for better coordination during everyday activities.
SLIM FIT FOR DAILY USE
The MalleoLoc L must be worn in shoes to stabilize the ankle. Thanks to its one-sided shell, it is particularly slim and fits in sports shoes as well as business shoes. The inside of the shell is soft and comfortably padded, and features an easy-care microfiber top cover. The orthosis is available in one universal size for the right or left foot.
