Achimed Achilles Tendon Support

The Achimed Achilles tendon support from medi is designed to provide targeted compression and massage around the Achilles tendon to help reduce pain, swelling and irritation. With an integrated anatomically shaped silicone pad and separate heel wedges, it offers both comfort and functional support for acute and chronic Achilles issues.

Key benefits

• Targeted Achilles support: designed specifically for the Achilles tendon region.
• Helps reduce swelling: integrated silicone pad provides a gentle massage effect to support reduction of oedema and haematoma.
• Improved joint awareness: proprioceptive compression helps guide and stabilise the ankle/foot complex.
• Comfort-focused design: pressure‑free upper edge helps minimise irritation at the top of the support.

Product features

• Integrated, anatomically formed silicone pad positioned over the Achilles tendon for localised support and massage.
• Separate heel wedges to help offload the Achilles tendon and reduce strain.
• Compression knit providing consistent circumferential support around the ankle and lower leg.
• Pressure‑free upper edge for enhanced comfort during longer wear.
• Material composition: polyamide, polyester, elastane.

Indications

This support is commonly used for:

• Acute and chronic inflammation of the Achilles tendon.
• Post‑traumatic and postoperative inflammation in the Achilles region.
• Achillodynia (painful Achilles tendon complaints).
• Achillobursitis (inflammation of the bursa near the Achilles tendon).

How it works

• The compression knit gently increases pressure around the Achilles and lower leg to enhance proprioception and support.
• The silicone pad delivers a massaging effect with movement, helping to disperse fluid and reduce local swelling.
• The heel wedges slightly elevate the heel, which can decrease strain on the Achilles tendon with each step.

When to use

• For everyday walking and standing when Achilles pain or irritation is present.
• During light to moderate activity, as advised by a healthcare professional.
• After surgery or injury in the Achilles region, in line with your rehabilitation plan.

Care notes

• Wear only on unbroken skin.
• Follow the care and washing instructions provided with the product to maintain compression and pad function.
• Check skin regularly for irritation or pressure points, especially if wearing for extended periods.
