MedSpec Supinator PTTD Ankle Brace
MedSpec Supinator PTTD Ankle Brace
The MedSpec Supinator PTTD Ankle Brace is a comfortable and relatively low-profile brace for the treatment of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD), as well as a range of other conditions. It reduces overpronation by applying a supinating force, which combines lifting the medial arch and restricting the turning of the heel.
Who Is the PTTD Ankle Brace Suitable For?
While the MedSpec Supinator PTTD Ankle Brace was designed especially for treating posterior tibial tendonitis (PTTD), it's suitable for a range of other conditions as well. This includes:
- Deltoid ligament impairment
- Lateral ankle impingement
- Moderate to severe pes planus
- Spring ligament dysfunction
- Tibilais posterior dysfunction
How Do I Find the Right Size?
The Supinator PTTD Brace is available in a range of five sizes. To find the right size for you, please measure your ankle circumference around the heel for the correct size, then consult the table below. You can select the preferred size from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.

How Does the Supinator PTTD Ankle Brace Work?
The Supinator PTTD Ankle Brace is designed to reduce overpronation by applying a supinating force. The arch strap works together with an adjustable arch pad to lift the medial arch.
The arch pad may also be removed if desired, and allow for the brace to be worn with an orthotic. Moreover, the heel strap restricts eversion (turning inside-out) of the calcaneus (heel).
Is This Brace Suitable for Either Foot?
No, to ensure the best possible fit, the Supinator is supplied separately for either the left or the right foot. You can select the brace that you need from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.
Can I Wash This Brace?
Yes, you can machine wash the PTTD Ankle Brace using a gentle cycle, then air dry it. Do not bleach, iron or tumble dry the brace.
