Ankle Brace-Malleo Train S

Size Measurements

To ensure a proper fit for the MalleoTrain S ankle brace, follow these size measurement instructions:

Measurement Instructions:

• Measure Ankle Circumference:
  • Use a Flexible Tape Measure: Wrap a flexible tape measure around the narrowest part of your ankle, just above the bony prominences (the malleoli).
  • Ensure a Snug Fit: The tape should be snug but not tight, allowing for an accurate measurement.
  • Record the Measurement: Note the circumference in centimeters or inches.
• Check the Sizing Chart:
  • Use the measurement from your ankle circumference to compare against the sizing chart provided below-

• Anatomical Design:
  • The MalleoTrain S features an anatomical design that contours to the natural shape of the ankle. This ensures a snug fit and effective support while allowing for natural movement of the foot and ankle.
• TrainActive® Knit Fabric:
  • The brace is made from TrainActive® knit fabric, a breathable and elastic material that offers both compression and comfort. The knit fabric helps to manage moisture and reduce heat buildup, enhancing overall comfort during wear.
• Integrated Silicone Pads:
  • It includes integrated silicone pads that provide targeted compression and support around the malleoli (the bony prominences on either side of the ankle). These pads help reduce swelling and alleviate pain by exerting gentle pressure on the affected area.
• Comfortable Fit:
  • The MalleoTrain S is designed with a seamless construction that minimizes irritation and enhances comfort. The fabric is soft against the skin, making it suitable for prolonged use.
• Adjustable Design:
  • While it offers a generally fixed fit, the brace can be adjusted slightly for better comfort and support, ensuring a personalized fit for different ankle sizes and shapes.
• Flexible Support:
  • The brace provides flexible support that stabilizes the ankle while allowing for a full range of motion. This is especially beneficial for activities requiring ankle mobility, such as walking or light exercise.
• Easy Application:
  • The brace is designed for easy application and removal, allowing users to put it on and take it off without difficulty.

To maintain the quality and effectiveness of your MalleoTrain S ankle brace, follow these specific care instructions:

Cleaning Instructions:

1. Hand Wash Only:
   • Use Lukewarm Water: Hand wash the brace in lukewarm water (up to 30°C or 86°F). Avoid using hot water, which can damage the fabric.
   • Mild Detergent: Use a mild, gentle detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and harsh chemicals that can affect the material and its elasticity.
2. Rinse Thoroughly:
   • After washing, rinse the brace thoroughly to remove all soap residues. Residual detergent can irritate the skin and affect the brace’s performance.

Drying Instructions:

1. Air Dry:
   • Flat Drying: Lay the brace flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid hanging or draping it, as this can distort its shape.
   • Avoid Heat: Do not use a dryer, hair dryer, or place the brace in direct sunlight or near heat sources. Excessive heat can damage the fabric and elastic components.
2. Do Not Wring Out:
   • Gently Press: Press out excess water with a towel. Do not twist or wring the brace, as this can affect its structure and fit.

Maintenance Tips:

1. Regular Cleaning:
   • Clean the brace regularly, especially after heavy use or if it becomes sweaty, to prevent odor buildup and maintain hygiene.
2. Inspect for Wear:
   • Check for Damage: Regularly inspect the brace for signs of wear and tear, such as frayed fabric, loose stitching, or worn-out silicone pads. 
3. Check Fit and Function:
   • Ensure the brace continues to fit properly and provides the necessary support. Adjust as needed to maintain comfort and effectiveness.
4. Avoid Harsh Conditions:
   • Protect from Chemicals: Keep the brace away from harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures to prevent damage.

Storage:

• Store Properly: When not in use, store the brace in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or compressing it, as this can affect its shape and support.

By following these care instructions, you can help ensure that your MalleoTrain S ankle brace remains in good condition, providing effective support and comfort for your ankle.
