Cellacare® Achillo

    Active Achilles tendon support

    Relief for a sore spot: Achilles heel

    The Cellacare Achillo active support is designed to help when the Achilles tendon is the focal point of problems. It compresses the Achilles tendon and supports the tendon region with an anatomically shaped silicone insert. It is used for the treatment of acute and chronic posttraumatic or postoperative irritation in the Achilles tendon region, for example in achillodynia, Achilles and sub-Achilles bursitis, peritendinitis, peritendinosis and tendinitis. It is also used postoperatively following repair of Achilles tendon rupture or partial rupture, bursectomy and after surgery on the Achilles tendon paratenon.

    Moving properties

    The Cellacare Achillo compresses the ankle and Achilles tendon region and promotes circulation through friction. The special Lymphtec silicone insert encloses the tendon channel from the heel up to the lower leg and promotes targeted lymph drainage. In this way the active support helps reduce swelling and bruising. A less compressive fabric does not restrict movement and prevents constriction in instep. The active support has high wearing comfort because of the anatomical fit of the three-dimensional knitted support.
