In cases of pain or inflammation in the Achilles tendon (e.g. due to excessive strain or after operations), the AchilloTrain Ankle Brace orthopedic brace helps to relieve the Achilles tendon without restricting mobility. An anatomically contoured insert (pad) produces a massage effect, thus stimulating the surrounding tissue. An integral heel cushion relieves the tendon. Edemas and effusions can thus subside more quickly. Features for the AchilloTrain Ankle Brace: Anatomically optimal shape Breathable material Promotes circulation Specifications Pressure-reduced edges - Ensures comfortable fit without constricting movement, bunching, or slipping. Improves circulation. Three-dimensional Train active knit - for a perfect fit Contoured insert - Running along the Achilles tendon, the pad distributes the pressure uniformly. High elasticity - makes the support easy to put on and take off Stretchy knit material - Breathable and comfortable fabric is machine-washable in the gentle cycle, which helps maintain its elasticity and original fit. Pressure-reduced edges - Ensures comfortable fit without constricting movement, bunching or slipping. Improves circulation. PAIN IN THE HEELS AchilloTrain Ankle Brace has a three-fold therapeutic effect: the brace alleviates pain and activates the musculature. A pad running along the Achilles tendon distributes the pressure uniformly but does not reduce wearing comfort. The massage effect stimulates the metabolism and helps to reduce edemas. An integral visco-elastic wedge further relieves the Achilles tendon. ALL-ROUND GOOD TO YOUR FOOT Thanks to the especially stretchy, three-dimensional anatomical knit, AchilloTrain Ankle Brace sits optimally even in the instep. The breathable material prevents the accumulation of moisture. The integral heel wedge is removable and a separate heel cushion is provided for the unaffected leg to offset the length difference. AchilloTrain reduces the risk of another ankle joint in-jury. Indications Achillodynia (tendonopathy, tendinitis, Achilles bursitis e.g. in Haglund's deformity) Follow-up treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures Care Instructions All Train active supports can be washed separately in the washing machine at 30 ° C with liquid detergent. Please note the following information: In the case of products with Velcro straps, these should be removed if possible or firmly attached to the designated place. If possible, pads or splints should also be removed before washing. It is recommended to use a laundry net (spin cycle: maximum 500 revolutions per minute). Dry your Train active support in the air and not in the dryer, otherwise, the knitted fabric may be impaired. Please wash your AchilloTrain Ankle Brace active support regularly so that the compression of the knitted fabric is retained. For measurements, If you are in-between sizes that appear on the size chart, we recommend sizing down.
