The Levamed active is an ankle support with a stabilizing strap system, used for compression of the soft tissue in the ankle joint with additional functional elements. Due to the interaction of the compressive knitted fabric, silicone pads integrated on both sides and a novel strap system, the brace serves to stabilize the ankle. The brace itself causes a massaging effect which promotes circulation, thus accelerating the reduction of swelling and bruising. The strap system supports the body’s own stabilization and provides extra support, similar to a tape bandage.

The Levamed active brace is thus suitable for preventive protection against injuries caused by twisting of the ankle, especially during exercise, when the muscles become fatigued. The brace achieves its greatest effect during physical activity.

Features & Benefits

• Clever belt design and intuitive belt guidance for easier donning
  
• Individually adjustable and removable belt system with elastic and non-elastic areas for additional hold, stabilization, and protection against twisting (supination)
• Massage effect by the integrated silicone pads for reduction of swelling (oedema, haematomas)
• Proprioceptive compression for guidance and stabilization of the joints
• Easier donning and doffing thanks to the V-stretching zone at the upper cuff
• Contains semi rigid material

Indications

• Joint sprain with overstretch of the capsule
  
• Chronic ligamentous instability with recurrent supination traumas (twisting of the foot)
• In the second phase of treatment for deltoid ligament injuries
• Acute or chronic posttraumatic or postoperative irritation of the talocrural and subtalar joints
• Nonsurgical treatment of injuries of the syndesmosis not requiring surgery
• Follow-up treatment of fractures not requiring cast
