In addition to intermittent compression on the soft tissues around the medial and lateral malleolus, the ankle bandage enables deep transverse friction on the insertion of the Achilles tendon; it consists of an anatomically shaped tubular body (11) which is provided with a lower section (16) forming an outsole (16a) and which, when in contact, encompasses half the foot and extends to the calf, in the area of the outsole (16a) a half heel (18) is knitted in and which has two anatomically asymmetrically designed pressure pads (20) which lie above the paraachillary soft tissues and on the medial and lateral malleolus and cover the area above the Bisgaard backdrop, each of which pressure pads as molded bodies (21) With a lateral, rounded recess (27) for receiving the ankle protrusion, which is made of a soft or soft elastic material, wherein a rod-shaped friction core (30) made of a hard, incompressible material is arranged in the molded body (21) and in the material of the Shaped body (21) is fixed in its position. |
