Malleotrain Ankle Support

Indications

• Chronic, post-operative and post-traumatic irritation (e. g. after sprains)
• Osteoarthritis and arthritis, joint effusions and swelling
• Tendomyopathies
• Ligament insufficiency
• Early functional / conservative treatment
• Relapse prevention

Features

• Highly elastic knit made from breathable material ensures effective compression and excellent wearing comfort.
• Two viscoelastic pads at the malleoli, anatomically shaped and aligned.
• Compression-reduced edges divert pressure at the ends of the support.
• Secure fit through the anatomical knit and lined pads.
• Donning aid included

Mode of Action

• Graduated compression promotes the reabsorption of oedema, effusions and hematomas.
• The pad redistributes compression away from the prominent malleoli to the surrounding soft tissues.
• Intermittent compression is exerted during movement to promote circulation via the joint capsule and tendon insertions.
• Effects on sensomotory function support active stabilization of the ankle.
