Medi Levamed Knit Ankle Support for Men Women Levamed soft supports offer the ultimate in comfort, design and functionality. Specifically integrated silicone inserts promote muscular control and stabilization of the ankle joint. Highly elastic, breathable, moisture-wicking Clima Comfort fabric. DESIGN: Levamed causes a massaging effect, with interaction between the compressive knitted fabric and the two integrated silicone inlays. This effect reduces swelling and bruising, and helps muscular control and ankle stabilization. FEATURES BENEFITS: Anatomically tailored support with medially and laterally integrated silicone pads. Elastic, breathable and moisture-wicking Clima Comfort knitted fabric. Special knitted comfort zone over the instep prevents contriction and pressure areas. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS: Slight instability of the ankle joint, ankle sprains, joint effusions and swellings due to arthritis and osteoarthritis. WEARING INSTRUCTIONS: The Levamed support is designed to fit comfortably and may be worn all day. It should be removed during prolonged periods of inactivity (e.g., sitting for a long time or a long car drive, sleeping).
