45038 & 45039 Intelligel Performance Achilles Protector

M Gel - Pure, Medical-Grade Mineral Oil Thermoplastic Elastomers

These mineral oil-based visco-elastic compounds are 100% medical-grade, non allergenic and dermatologist-tested.

The Achilles Heel Protector is a soft, comfortable stretchable surgical fabric sleeve. This unique device is designed to position and hold our patented Polymer Gel Pad on the back of the foot which slowly releases a medical grade mineral oil USP (United States Pharmaceutical) to absorb friction and pressure. The device may be used as a support supplement for patients with Haglund deformity and Achilles problems.

By positioning the gel pad around the heel the gel applies gentle compression around the inflamed area. When applying the sleeve over the calcaneus (heel), please note how the anatomical shape should be placed over the back of the calcaneus bone (heel). The wider part of the gel pad goes to the bottom of the foot as so indicated by the drawing. GEL PAD SHOULD NOT BE WORN UNDER THE BOTTOM OF THE HEEL.
