Leg support AS-PU-02

Stressed and injured calf muscles

Calf pain is the often condition in sport. There are gastrocnemius and soleus muscles in the calf. The gastrocnemius muscle, called “stomach of leg”, is divided into two heads, lateral and medial, that originate from the condyles of the femur. The two muscles of calf form a common tendon known as the Achilles Tendon and inserts onto the heel bone.

Stressed calf muscles is the most common reason of the calf pain. The problem occurs often in the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle. Overstretched muscle during e.g. tennis or squash play, can causes more damage such as “tennis leg”. It is a tear of the medial head of the gastrocnemius or the other calf muscle. It is not a tear of the Achilles and it generally does not need surgery. It’s connected with acute pain, big haematoma and limited range of motion.

In “tennis leg” we can notice following symptoms:

• pain in the back knee causing limited motion
• noticeable crack during injury
• very rare swelling of the calf
• the plantar flexion of foot is weak or impossible
• cramp of the medial head of gastrocnemius muscle
• the knee flexion is weak, sometimes with pain
• standing on the toes is painful or impossible

The calf can be injured in collision with sport equipment or the other athlete.

The calf should be supported and compressed for min. 4 weeks. In order to do this, our AS-PU-02 calf brace with elastic straps is necessary.

Product’s description

AS-PU-02 is an anatomic-shaped calf sleeve with Y-shaped straps. The straps can be adjusted what allows to set the required level of compression. Besides, the brace has special relief zone that supports and protects the highly sensitive injury area.

Elastic straps provide additional adjustable compression to stimulate blood circulation, promotes regeneration and reduces the pain without covering the injured area. What’s more, 2 adjustable circular elastic straps keep out AS-PU-02 support in place.

Our calf sleeve is made of AeroSpace™.

Bands are made of AirRubber II™.

Anatomic-shape of the sleeve allows to use it for right and left leg.

The excellent features of our calf brace with targeting application the sleeve can be adjusted to provide the compression where you need it. This helps to prevent muscle injuries and relieves the pain for continue physical activity.

AS-PU-02 was developed to keep you active all the time and offer you noticeable benefits.

• inflammation of the calf musles
• stressed and strain muscles
• “tennis leg”

MATERIALS

AeroSpace™

AeroSpace™ is an innovative new generation raw material. It is a distance elastic 3D knitted fabric consisting of two layers of facings and an interlacing that creates the appropriate thickness of the raw material and has relieving properties. The knitwear is made of the highest quality polyester yarn - guaranteeing high mechanical strength and spandex ensuring its proper flexibility. This material is characterized by a very low weight, high flexibility and a very large openwork structure, allowing for very easy drainage of sweat from the body and bringing fresh air to the skin. Products made of this raw material are neutral to the secured joint, do not heat or cool it, but ensure its proper compression and fit and reduce muscle vibrations generated during physical exertion. Its thickness and 3D structure perfectly relieves the orthopedic splints, stays or other elements mounted on the product and guarantees velvety softness to the touch.

AirRubber II™

AirRubber II™ is breathable, perforated and has unidirectional elasticity. It can be stretched, increasing the length, not width, what improves compression. Between the braids air flows freely and skin can breathe. In addition in high compression, these rubber braids provide a gentle massage for skin. Our orthopedic rubber is very friendly for skin.
