The Bauerfeind AchilloTrain is an orthopedic ankle brace that relieves the Achilles tendon without restricting mobility. It is made for pain or inflammation, such as from excessive strain or after surgery.
An anatomically contoured visco-elastic friction pad sits along the tendon path. During movement, the pad and the compressive knit apply a gentle alternating-pressure massage. This is intended to stimulate the surrounding muscles and improve local metabolism. Individual results may vary.
The breathable Train active knit gives graduated medical compression that adapts to the shape of the foot. Knit edges with reduced pressure are designed to prevent constriction. A soft comfort zone at the instep helps prevent skin irritation. The foot section is extra short to avoid pressure on the 5th metatarsal. Recessed grips make it easier to put on and take off. The slim, lightweight design can be worn under stockings and in shoes.
