Active ankle stabilisation

• Supports sensorimotor functions and promotes muscular stabilisation of the ankle
• Promotes circulation and improves ankle function
• Integrated, anatomical medial and lateral pads relieve pain and provide targeted compression
• Innovative three-dimensional flat-knitted fabric
• SKINGUARD® technology: Skin-friendly, antibacterial and odour-inhibiting
• Full freedom of movement
• Washable

The form-knitted Malleo Sensa active support promotes sensorimotor functions and activates muscular stabilisation in case of ankle injuries. The support permits continued full freedom of movement. Integrated medial and lateral pads stabilise the ankle without restricting natural movements. Pain is relieved and ankle function is improved. Targeted compression enhances circulation and promotes the resorption of oedemas, haematomas and effusions.

Good fit and high level of wearer comfort

Thanks to its excellent fit, your customers can wear the Malleo Sensa comfortably – even inside a shoe. An open-mesh low-compression zone in the area of the heel also enhances wearer comfort. Low-compression edges keep the active support from cutting into the skin and ensure a wrinkle-free fit.

New SKINGUARD® technology

Like all Sensa Line supports, the form-knitted Malleo Sensa active support is equipped with SKINGUARD® technology. This technology offers numerous advantages for your patients:

• A significant improvement in hygiene thanks to antibacterial fibres that prevent the growth of bacteria. This reduces the formation of odours.
• The antibacterial effect is retained even after multiple washing cycles.
• Lower risk of allergies and skin irritation.

Additional advantages result from the combination with elastic functional fibres:

• Outstanding moisture management: The functional fibres absorb moisture quickly, transport it to the surface of the flat-knitted fabric and ensure rapid evaporation.
• A high level of wearer comfort thanks to the velvety, especially woven fibre structure of the elastic functional fibres as well as effective protection against latex allergies since the support is free of natural latex due to the use of the functional fibres.

Detailed information on SKINGUARD® technology is found in our Sensa Line product information.
