Bauerfeind AchilloTrain Support for Achilles Tendon

The AchilloTrain is designed to provide a comfortable, knitted support that features an anatomically contoured visco-elastic insert positioned alongside the Achilles tendon. This unique design creates a gentle massage effect, which helps to stimulate the surrounding tissue. To further enhance comfort, the support includes an integral visco-elastic heel cushion that alleviates pressure on the tendon. For those with an unaffected foot, an extra heel cushion is also included.

This support is specifically intended to aid in the treatment of Achilles tendon injuries, effectively reducing pain and swelling which can arise from excessive strain or post-operative recovery. Despite its supportive design, the AchilloTrain allows for free mobility, making it easier to engage in daily activities while healing.

The knitted construction of the Achilles tendon support integrates an anatomically shaped silicone insert that runs alongside the tendon itself. This silicone insert is crucial as it eliminates pressure on the tendon while providing intermittent compression, which is effective in reducing swelling and edema.

The built-in anatomical knit contour further ensures that the ankle is positioned in a slight plantar flexion, promoting optimal healing. Additionally, a viscoelastic heel wedge is incorporated into the design, elevating the heel to relieve discomfort associated with Achilles tendonitis.

To maintain balance and prevent leg length discrepancies during use, an extra heel wedge is provided for the unaffected foot. This thoughtful design consideration ensures that users can achieve relief from their injuries while maintaining proper posture and stability.

Overall, the AchilloTrain delivers a practical solution for those suffering from Achilles tendon issues, combining comfort, support, and mobility in one effective product. Whether dealing with chronic pain or recovering from an injury, this knitted support system is geared towards enhancing healing while preserving the user’s active lifestyle.
