Vulkan® AirXtend Ankle Support
What is Vulkan AirXtend Ankle Support?
Vulkan AirXtend Ankle Support features a comfortable support wrap for injured, sprained, or strained ankles. This ankle support helps to retain heat at the site of the injury, accelerating the healing process by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the damaged tissues.
With its sleek, slimline design, it has adjustable tension straps to ensure a proper fit with minimal bunching and slippage that can be worn under everyday clothing for treatment and support throughout the day. One size fits all; an open heel allows for a comfortable fit.
The benefits of the material
This ankle support features a combination of Airprene neoprene and Coolmax fabric to provide optimal comfort and support. Adjustable tension straps provide custom fit for controlled compression. The sectional design minimises slippage and bunching during wear.
Airprene is a closed cell neoprene with perforations that provides support and compression. The perforations in the material allow increased ventilation to reduce skin irritation and improve comfort.
This allows the support to be worn for prolonged periods whilst keeping skin dry and comfortable. The Coolmax fabric lining moves perspiration away from the body, and through the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly, allowing the wearer to feel cooler and more comfortable.
How to use this product
Always wear Vulkan AirXtend Ankle Support exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. First place your heel in the round opening and fasten the section over the arch and the other criss-cross straps around the ankle.
When should this product not be used?
Do not wear this ankle support if warming or heat-generating liniments, ointments or creams have been applied. Should an irritation or rash develop, discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice. If your injury is severe or does not improve within three to four days seek medical advice.
Storage information
