Sporlastic Achillo-Hit Ankle Bandage
The Sporlastic Achillo-Hit is an ankle bandage with silicone pads, designed for anyone with an Achilles tendon injury, who does not want the injury to slow them down.
Most Achilles tendon injuries occur with sports such as, running, gymnastics, dance, football, basketball and tennis, often due to the amount of stress placed on the foot and ankle.
The Achillo-Hit has been designed specifically to help with Achilles tendon complaints. It features a silicone pad that has a gentle massaging effect and works by stimulating the surrounding tissue. increasing the blood flow and accelerating the healing process.
It is constructed in an intelligent fabric that provides targeted compression and muscle stabilisation. The silicone pad’s insole pressure cushion exerts stimuli on the tendon in the rear tibial muscle and enhances the foot’s natural motion.
The Achillo-Hit is an active support for the relief of Achilles tendonitis and acute achillodynia. Available in five sizes, with a wrinkle free fit, making it extremely comfortable to wear for long periods of time.
Measurement & Fitting

Pull the bandage over the back of the foot, gently at
first. Then hold the back of the bandage and pull it over
the heel. The seam of the bandage must be flush with the middle
of the back of the foot/the heel bone.

effect on the side near the Achilles tendon. No
knops should massage the Achilles tendon.
The truss pad’s longer pressure cushion on the inside of
the foot must extend beneath the medial malleolus
right into the arch of the foot. The shorter
outside pressure cushion also extends beneath the
