Prevention instead of treatment!
As part of the NBA Launchpad - the NBA's start-up accelerator - BETTERGUARDS developed the BetterGuard intelligent ankle brace.
With the BG POWER at its heart - an intelligent mini-piston - the brace offers you exceptional freedom of movement in normal situations. During critical movements the mini-piston is activated and stabilizes your ankle as good as conventional rigid ankle braces - three times faster than your body.
The BetterGuard ankle brace aids in ankle injury prevention. The adaptive ankle stabilizer helps to prevent excessive inversion and or supination movements. Elevate your game with the ultimate lightweight ankle protection system, providing a high range of motion and intelligent ankle support only when you need it.
Totally new, The BetterGuard is the result of cooperation between engineers, athletes and biomechanical experts. It fits perfectly on your foot. Learn more about the brace’s unique features with our interactive model.
Protection and freedom of movement in one: the bandage with intelligent mini piston works like a seat belt in a car. You put on the joint protection and continue to enjoy full freedom of movement. The system is only activated when a critical situation arises. If your foot twists outwards, the system stabilizes your ankle in a flash. When the danger is over, the BG PROTECTION SYSTEM is automatically released. You can move your foot naturally again immediately.
This is what the BG PROTECTION SYSTEM from BETTERGUARDS offers you:
- Stabilization when twisting or twisting the ankle
- Prevent or reduce the severity of ankle injuries such as torn ligaments or sprains
- Easy handling and individual adjustment to your foot shape
- Natural freedom of movement and high comfort
- No impairment during the sport
The BetterGuard does not restrict your movements. But if you twist your ankle, the stabilizing protection of the BETTERGUARD is available to you within milliseconds. And then? Carry on as if nothing had happened.
The ankle brace is used for ankle stabilization and targeted movement limitation of the ankle during very rapid movements. The brace is particularly suitable for people who are at increased possibility of ankle bruise during sports activities, in everyday life, or at work. The bandage can also be used in rehabilitation after an ankle dislocation. In the case of specific indications, it makes sense to consult a doctor. The BetterGuard is suitable for use in various sports. They come in five different sizes, for both the right and left sides.
The BetterGuard is made of different polyester and TPU materials. In addition, small metal parts are installed. The ankle wrap consists of 62% polyamide and 38% elastane. The high-quality micro-Velcro ensures a long service life of the Velcro surface, even after repeated washing. It combines good holding power with good handling for readjusting the closure.

The heart of BETTERGUARDS product:
The patented mini piston BG POWER
The multi-patented BG POWER is the core of our ankle protection and the result of intensive research. It sits on the outside of the ankle and works there like a shock absorber: a mini piston works together with an intelligent fluid system. This combination allows the system to be activated immediately in the event of risky movements.
This is the BG POWER:
- Combination of micro hydraulics and fluid system.
- Activates within a few milliseconds in critical situations.
- Guaranteed function even with changing external conditions and high requirements.
- Developed and produced in Germany according to DIN ISO 9001 standards.
