Product details
The Medi Achimed Achilles Tendon Support combines medical-grade compression knitting, anatomically shaped silicone padding and removable heel wedges to provide focused support around the Achilles region. The knitted sleeve delivers comfortable compression, while the silicone pad creates a gentle massage effect during movement.
