Bauerfeind AchilloTrain Pro Achilles Tendon Support

Who Uses This Product? AchilloTrain Pro Achilles Tendon Support is used by anybody needing ankle support with special attention to the Achilles tendon due to post-surgical recovery, swelling, injury, sprain, and strains.

Why They Love This Product: The brace provides gentle, consistent compression to the ankle and Achilles tendon area, thereby limiting edema. The medical-grade, high-quality elastic material is breathable and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.

The Bauerfeind AchilloTrain Pro Achilles Tendon Support is an innovative ankle brace designed to provide compression and support to the ankle and Achilles tendon. It's manufactured with a three-dimensional Active train knit that's soft and breathable. This brace is comfortable enough to be worn all day long and strong enough to provide the needed stability. The contoured shape and integrated stretch zones prevent the support from bunching up and make donning and doffing easy. To facilitate and speed healing, the Achillotrain Pro Ankle Brace features a removable visioelastic insert containing soft, frictional nubs. These nubs stimulate and gently massage the area, helping to reduce edema. This insert extends the entire length of the back of the ankle, from joint to muscular tendon junction.

In order to provide optimum support while maintaining superior comfort and wearability, the AchilloTrain Pro uses an advanced three-dimensional design. This innovation permits maximum mobility of the ankle and also provides gentle, consistent compression throughout the entire range of motion. All edges are pressure reduced to prevent the material from bunching, constricting movement, or chafing. Most braces provide uni-directional stretching that causes shifting of the material: AchilloTrain Pro supports address this problem by using a three-dimensional knitting technique and material that supplies the same level of compression regardless of which direction the material is stretched. For protection, a contoured pad sits atop the Achilles tendon, helping to prevent re-inflammation and supplying additional support.

Can I wear shoes with these braces? If so, what kind of shoes should I wear?
As a general rule, any shoe can be worn with this lightweight, breathable support, including sneakers, sandals, and work shoes. No special shoes are required. Sturdy shoes are the best and should be checked for fit and size to assure there are no rub or constriction points.

Can I wear my brace over my sock?
It is recommended that the AchilloTrain Pro Achilles Tendon Support is never worn over any type of clothing. Having additional clothing between the brace and your skin can potentially irritate the skin or impact the effectiveness of the brace. Additional clothing may also significantly constrict the area, causing strain and severely impacting the function of the brace.

Can the brace be worn at night?
The primary beneficial functions of the brace occur during activity, so there is no benefit to be gained by wearing the brace at night.
