NEW YORK, July 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Betterguards, a next-generation sports technology innovator, announces the launch of its latest ankle brace technology product, The BetterGuard 2.0. This new design pushes the boundaries of ankle support, offering the perfect blend of performance and protection from common ankle injuries, such as sudden twisting or rolling, without sacrificing freedom of movement.
Utilizing the patented, adaptive technology, The BetterGuard 2.0 demonstrates a leap forward in injury prevention and performance innovation. Supercharged by the BG ULTRA, it uses micro-hydraulic technology to enable game-ready mobility with adaptive ankle support. In the event of sudden ankle turning or twisting, the BG ULTRA reacts 4x faster than the human body to instantly stabilize the joint before injuries can occur.

"We are excited to bring the latest alternative to traditional braces and taping to the market, allowing professional and amateur athletes to focus on their game without facing a potentially career-ending injury."
