Leva strap
Intended purpose
protect.Leva strap is an ankle support
with stabilisation strap. The product is
exclusively to be used for the orthotic
fitting of the ankle joint and only on
unbroken skin.
Indications
• Ligament instability, pulled capsular
ligament
• Joint effusion, swelling and irritation
(e.g. overloading, injury, postoperative)
Contraindications
Diseases or injuries to the skin,
sensitivity or perfusion disorders in the
legs or feet, lymph drainage disorders.
Mode of action
The compressive knit enhances
perfusion, thus reducing effusion and
swelling.
This combination of compression and
stabilisation strap supports joint
function, enhances joint mobility and
alleviates pain.
Instructions for fitting
• Grasp the middle of the support on
both sides. Pull it up over the foot till
the heel section is properly fitted. Then
pull the support up (Fig. 1).
• Make an "eight" out of the elasticated
band and lead it round the ankle joint
(Figs, 2-5).
• Affix the end of the strap to the
elasticated band (Fig. 6).
Please note that the support should be
fitted for the first time as instructed by
trained specialists.
