Intended patient groups
Healthcare professionals should provide
care to the adults and children, applying
the available information on the
measurements/sizes and necessary
functions/indications and in line with
the information provided by the
manufacturer, and acting under their
own responsibility.
Note on wearing
Supports have the greatest effect during
physical activity. In principle, the
support can be worn throughout the
day. During long periods of rest (e.g.
sleeping), the support should be
removed.
Instructions for fitting
• Grasp the support at the level of the
pad and pull this over the foot until the
heel section is sitting properly
(Figs.1+2).
•
Pull the support up if necessary (Fig. 3).
If necessary, correct the position of the
pad so that the tendon is palpably
embedded in the gap in the pad.
Care instructions
Soap residues, lotions and ointments
can cause skin irritation and material
wear.
• Wash the product by hand, preferably
using a medi clean detergent, or in
delicate cycle at 30°C using a mild
detergent without fabric conditioners.
• Do not bleach.
• Leave to dry naturally.
• Do not iron.

protect.Achi
Intended purpose
protect.Achi is a bandage for
compression of the Achilles tendon.
Indications
All indications in which soft tissue
compression with local pressure pad(s)
on the Achilles tendon is necessary, such
as:
•
Acute and chronic inflammation of the
Achilles tendon
• Achillodynia
• Achillobursitis
Contraindications
None known at present.
Risks / Side Effects
If the aids are too tight, this can cause
local pressure sores or constriction of
blood vessels or nerves. Therefore you
should consult the doctor treating you
before you use it if the following
circumstances apply to you:
• Condition or injury of the skin in the
area of application, particularly with
infectious indications (excessive heat,
swelling or reddening)
• Paraesthesia and circulatory disorders
(e.g. as seen in diabetes, varicose veins)
• Lymph drainage disorders – equally,
swelling of soft tissue adjacent to the
area of application which is not related
to a condition
When wearing snug-fitting aids, this can
result in localised skin inflammation or
irritation that is due to mechanical
irritation of the skin (particularly in
conjunction with sweating) or due to the
composition of the material.
