Description
Indications
- Achillodynia (tendinosis, paratendinitis, Achilles tendon bursitis)
- Haglund’s deformity
- Chronic, post-traumatic or post-operative irritation (e. g. in the case of Achilles tendon ruptures)
Characteristics
- Highly elastic knit made from breathable material ensures effective compression and excellent wearing comfort
- The active knitted support is anatomically contoured for maximum comfort
- The integrated tendon pad is viscoelastic and anatomically contoured
- A removable heel wedge is integrated into the support
- A separate heel cushion is also provided for the unaffected leg to offset the length difference
- Donning aid included
Mode of action
- The profile insert pad runs alongside the Achilles tendon to produce uniform application of pressure and a local massage effect during movement
- This mode of action improves metabolism locally and reduces oedema
- The integrated viscoelastic heel wedge raises the heel (approx. 6 mm) to relieve the Achilles tendon
- Coordinated muscle control is assisted via the effect on proprioception
