New Medi Achimed Achilles Tendon Support
The Achimed is an anatomically tailored Achilles tendon support with integrated silicone support cushion. The clima-comfort fabric is highly elastic, breathable and moisture wicking and includes a special comfort zone knitted into the instep portion to prevent constriction and pressure areas.
Achimed causes a massage effect, which supports perfusion, by interacting with compressive knitted fabric and the two integrated silicon inlays. This effect furthers the decline in swellings and bruises. Irritation and pain are relieved. Simultaneously the muscular control and the inherent stabilisation of the ankle joint improve.
Supports cause the greatest effect during physical exercise.
Indications For Use:
- Acute and chronic inflammation of the Achilles tendon
- Post-traumatic and postoperative inflammation
- Achillodynia
- Achillobursitis
Product Features:
- Massage effect due to integrated silicone pads -> reduction of swellings (oedema, hematomes)
- Proprioceptive compression → Guidance and stabilisation of the joints
- The optional, insertable heel wedges reduce painful tension on the Achilles tendon
- Contains Semi Rigid Material
- Seperate heel wedges
- Pressure free upper edge
- Materials: Polyamide, polyester, elastane
- Wrap over the upper part of the support till the outside edge of the silicon inlay.
- Take hold off the support in the middle of the silicone inlays and pull it over the foot till the heel part fits tightly.
- Turn back the upper part of the support and correct the fit if necessary. It fits properly if the seam runs over the middle of the heel and the Achilles tendon is noticeably embedded in the groove in the inlay.
IMPORTANT: always wear both supports simultaneously in your shoes to ensure the same leg length. Once the acute symptoms subside the supports should be used alternately (e.g. every 2 hours) as you see fit and not worn gradually to accustom the tendon to normal loads.
