    The Bauerfeind CaligaLoc is a quick and easy way to stabilize the entire ankle giving both medial and lateral support. CaligaLoc provides excellent ankle stabilization by reducing the outward rolling of the ankle and preventing abnormal loads in the upper ankle. The Caligaloc ankle brace can be worn around the clock, as a support splint in normal shoes during the day and as a positioning splint without shoes at night. Unlike stirrup supports, CaligaLoc stabilizes the ankle even when you are not wearing a shoe.

    Features:





  • Stabilizes the ankle by counteracting supination
  • Prevents abnormal loads in the upper, and to a certain extent, lower ankle
  • Anatomically contoured, thin, lightweight design ensures maximum comfort and convenience
  • Heat moldable and can be reshaped if necessary for a individual customized fit
  • Slightly pronating raised heel section (toward the outside) takes the strain off the lateral malleolar ligaments (outer ankle ligaments)
  • Four adjustable Velcro straps provide easy application and proper fit
  • Latex-free construction eliminates skin irritation
  • Easy to clean with soap and warm water

    Commonly helpful with such conditions as:
  • Conservative treatment of torn ankle ligaments

  • Post-operative protection after ligament suturing/reconstruction
  • Post-Achilles Rupture

    AchilloTrain PRO Achilles Tendon Support by Bauerfeind

    Bauerfeind's AchilloTrain® PRO systematically counteracts irritation to the Achilles tendon through support and compression. The support promotes muscular stabilization whilst a shaped insert (pad) with two wings and nubs massages the muscle-tendon transition. A groove running down the middle of the pad improves the drainage of edemas. Mobility is eased and assisted.

    Stability and freedom of movement
    AchilloTrain Pro uses a therapeutically effective combination of stabilization and mobility. The continuous transition between compression and decompression during movement promotes healing and improves the interaction of nerves and muscles. This is assisted by the integral visco-elastic pad, which stimulates the tissue above the heel by means of the soft nubs and longitudinal grooves. To the right and left, two additional wings stimulate the upper third of the tendon and the muscle-tendon transition.

    Gentle on the skin and comfortable
    The integral expansion zones in the anatomically contoured AchilloTrain Pro active support make it easier to put on and take off; it can be worn on the right or the left. The breathable material increases wearing comfort. The short knitted section in the metatarsal area prevents pressure points.

    Indications

  • Achillodynia (tendonitis, paratendinitis, bursitis, e.g. in Haglund's deformity)
  • Postoperative, e.g. of Achilles tendon ruptures

    Football Season = Injuries

    There's just no way around it, if you, your son or family member/friend play football, chances are an injury is in the future (hopefully nothing more than a sprain).  It is a tough, extremely physical sport, and injuries are a part of the game.  Luckily for you, we have everything you need to get junior (or yourself) back on the field scoring (or preventing) touchdowns!

    For what I consider the most abundant injury to plague football players (I suffered a few of these back in my hey-day), the more annoying than painful ankle sprain/twist.  Painful at first, then just a lingering slight pain for weeks, no one is a fan of the twisted ankle.  To get that extra support I recommend the Gel Ankle Brace by Ossur, it is comfy yet supportive (like all you football moms), and available in Youth and Adult sizes.

    And, don't forget the ice packs!!  A definite must have for post game wear and tear. Check out our huge selection of cold pack here.  

    Now, go out and enjoy the game (and postgame)!
