Medi Achimed Tendon Support
Achilles tendon support with integrated anatomically formed silicone pad.
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
Intended purpose:
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.
- Acute and chronic inflammation of the Achilles tendon
- Post-traumatic and postoperative inflammation
- Achillodynia
- Achillobursitis
- Diseases or injuries of the skin in the area of use, especially with inflammatory symptoms (excessive warming, swelling or reddening).
- Sensitivity and perfusion disorders of the legs or feet (e.g. in the case of diabetes).
- Lymph outflow disorders, as well as unclear swellings of soft tissues, apart from the area of use.
Material Components:
- Polyamide
- Polyester
- Elastane
Comfort Zone
The soft comfort zones in sensitive stretchable areas (e.g., Levamed, Lumbamed) mean that optimal comfort is sustained throughout the day, even during sedentary activities, allowing discreet use under normal clothing and foot wear.
Soothing pain relief that simply feels good.
Clima Comfort
With its new material composition, the sophisticated Clima Comfort fabric now creates an even more pleasant climate for the skin. Any moisture that emerges is quickly and reliably absorbed by the inner fabric and then transported to the outside where it evaporates. At the same time the breathable knit allows oxygen to reach the skin.
Patients don’t work up a sweat with their support and find it comfortable, even in the summer.
Clima Fresh
The integrated Clima Fresh technology kills germs for excellent hygienic conditions. A natural odor-free environment is maintained and germs are kept out of the fabric.
The risk of infections (e.g. caused by micro-organisms) is reduced.
1. Wrap over the upper part of the support till the outside edge of the silicon inlay.
2. Take hold off the support in the middle of the silicone inlays and pull it over the foot till the heel part fits tightly.
3. 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.
