DESCRIPTION

MalleoTrain S provides reliable support for the ankle while exercising, and prevents lateral twisting. The support comes equipped with an individually adjustable strap system with elastic and non-elastic components. The strap is wound around the ankle in a figure eight and attached using a Velcro® fastening. Ankle sprains are actively prevented, as the strap system acts like a functional tape bandage, but it is a lot more skin-friendly. The intermittent compression of the knitted fabric creates a massage effect around the soft tissue during movement. This action stimulates circulation in the area and improves the metabolism. Pain is relieved. The support simultaneously stimulates the stabilising muscles, improving overall sensorimotor function. The ankle is strengthened long-term, preventing sprain injuries. The anatomical shape of the MalleoTrain S guarantees a secure hold and high wearing comfort. The support allows plenty of freedom of movement despite the sprain protection. Without any added pads, the support can be worn in tight-fitting sports shoes. The included blue donning aid makes applying the support easy and quick.

RELIABLE SUPPORT FOR THE FOOT

The support's breathable Train Active Knit is anatomically contoured and fits the foot perfectly. The compression effect of the knit aids the circulation and activates the surrounding musculature. The support thus stabilizes the foot without restricting mobility and is ideal for use during sporting activities. It fits into any trainer and helps to prevent further injury to the ankle during training or competition.

DYNAMIC STABILIZATION

Thanks to its individually adjustable strap system, the MalleoTrain S acts like a functional tape bandage. The strap is fastened around the foot in a figure-of-eight pattern, thus securing the connection of the midfoot and hindfoot with the lower leg. Unlike the tape bandage, the strap is applied under tension and its protection can thus be individually adjusted. You can feel it guiding your foot and this protects against lateral twisting, positively influences your perception of your own movement and gives you back the feeling of security during load bearing.

PRODUCT CARE

Washing regularly helps our supports maintain their shape and last longer. All Bauerfeind supports are made with machine washable materials.

HERE’S HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR BRACE:

For products with Velcro® straps, pads or inserts, remove them if possible, or fasten them securely at the place provided on the brace. Machine wash your brace in cold water using the gentle or delicate cycle. Wash separately using a laundry detergent with no additives (do not use fabric softener or Woolite). Lay your support flat and let it air-dry; do not put it in the dryer. Proper washing and drying helps your knit support maintain its elasticity and original fit.
