Indications
The ankle support can be used for all indications, in which soft tissue compression with local additional pads at the ankle joint is necessary, such as:
- Slight instability of the ankle joint
- Sprains and distorsions
- Joint effusion and swelling due to arthritis and osteoarthritis
The 3D silicone pad on the Levamed® aids the dissipation of swelling (oedema, haematomas). Furthermore, the compressive knitted fabric over the ankle joint region can improve proprioception. This improvement can, in turn, support the body’s own guidance and stabilise the joint.
The included parachute silk donning aid makes it easier for the user to put on and correctly position the Levamed® support. The unique knitting technique (medi Soft Edge) at the ends of the bandage ensures a comfortable and secure fit: medi Soft Edge prevents any unpleasant cutting into the skin.
Thanks to a special hybrid fabric created from high-tech-fibre and natural eucalyptus fibre, the ankle bandage is particularly soft on the skin. Clima Comfort* also ensures that Levamed® can be worn in everyday life as well as during physical activities: the modern fibre-technology wicks moisture quickly away from the surface of the skin and ensures a high level of breathability. Furthermore, the fibres have an antibacterial action and inhibit odour-forming bacteria in textiles.
Mode of action / Benefits
- Massage effect due to the integrated silicone pads – helps with reduction of swelling (oedema, heamatomas)
- Proprioceptive compression – guidance and stabilisation of the joints
- Easy donning with the supplied donning aid / slip-on sock
- Sizes I and II are suitable for kids
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.
