Universal ankle joint stabilization U-SS-01
Products which belong to Activ Sport Line group are made of ActivPren. This structural fabric is made of neoprene foam of different thickness with outside layer of polyamide. The neoprene is additionally perforated to assure air flow and maintenance of correct temperature. ActivPren is soft and elastic, easily fits the limb. It contains no thick fibres which could press patient skin and cause an injury in the place of more intensive compression. ActivPren contains microfiber diaphragm. The diaphragm derives sweat from patient’s skin, and than it evaporates through the perforation in the neoprene layer. Such design assures that only minimum of sweat is left on patient’s skin, allowing for usage of our products in extreme conditions e.g. during sport activities.
