The Achillo-Hit by Sporlastic is an Achilles tendon support with breathable, lightweight AIR-MATRIX silicone friction pads that compress and massage the Achilles tendon and its gliding tissue.
A control strip, two simple Velcro fasteners and a knitted-in right/left marking make it easy for the patient to put the support on correctly. A QR code in the packaging gives access to therapy exercises.
