Indications

The Levamed® active support can be used when soft tissue compression with one or more local additional pads is necessary for the ankle joint and at least one direction of movement is restricted by additional functional elements, such as:

• Acute or chronic post-traumatic or post-operative irritation of the talocrural (upper) and subtalar (lower) ankle joints
• Chronic ligamentous instability of the talocrural (upper) and subtalar (lower) ankle joints with or without recurrent supination traumas (twisting of the foot)
• Conservative treatment of injuries of the syndesmosis not requiring surgery
• Follow-up of fractures not requiring a cast
• Following distortions (e.g. supination injuries)
• Joint sprain with overstretch of the capsule
• In the second phase of treatment for deltoid ligament injuries

Thanks to the adjustable and removable strap system with elastic and inelastic areas, the ankle support can be individually adapted to the contours of the body. This ideal fit and the soft Comfort Zone over the sensitive instep area ensures that it is comfortable to wear.  The Levamed® active support is easy to put on using the included parachute silk donning aid. The knitted fabric with an integrated silicone fibre ensures a secure fit on the foot – even when a lot of tension is exerted on the strap.

Levamed® active can not only relieve pain, but it can also reduce swelling, thanks to the compressive knitted fabric and the 3D-silicone-pad, which has a pleasant massage effect. The interplay between the compressive knitted fabric (CCL II), the 3D-silicone-pads and the additional strap system ensures the stabilisation of the joint. Furthermore, due to the individually adjustable strap system, a limitation of movement into supination is possible. The compressive knitted fabric can also positively influence proprioception.

The ankle support is particularly soft on the skin due to a special hybrid fabric created from high-tech-fibre and natural eucalyptus fibre. Clima Comfort* also ensures that the support is comfortable to wear: the modern fibre-technology is breathable and wicks moisture quickly away from the surface of the skin. The integrated Clima Fresh-function also acts to prevent odours – a benefit, particularly during increased physical activity.

Mode of action / Benefits

Wearing an ankle brace / support is particularly useful after injuries – can counteract twisting of the foot, especially helpful when the user slowly starts being active again.

Material Components: polyester, polyamide, polyethylene
