Bauerfeind MalleoTrain Manual De Instrucciones página 4

Dear valued customer,
EN
Thank you for choosing a product from Bauerfeind. MalleoTrain® is a high-
quality medical product.
Please carefully read through the following instructions for use. Should
you have any questions please contact your doctor, medical retailer or our
Customer Service department.
MalleoTrain®, an active ankle support, produces its special effect primarily
during movement and therapeutic exercises. The anatomically contoured
viscoelastic inserts (pressure pads) compress and massage the soft tissues of
the joint. Enhanced circulation in the joint and promotion of lymph drainage
lead to reduced swelling, pain relief and improved function.
MalleoTrain® must be tted for initial use by a trained specialist, otherwise
we cannot accept any liability for the product.
Indications
• Post-operative and post-traumatic irritation (e. g. after sprains)
• Joint effusion and swelling associated with degenerative changes in the
ankle (osteoarthritis) and joint in ammation (arthritis)
• Muscle and tendon disorders (tendomyopathies)
• Ligamental weaknesses
Side effects
With the assumption of proper tting, no side effects involving the body as a
whole have been reported to date. Supports and orthoses
to the body can, if tightened excessively, lead to localized pressure or, rarely,
constrict the underlying blood vessels or nerves.
Contra-indications
Hypersensitive reactions, harmful to health have not been reported to
date. For patients experiencing the following conditions, such supports
and orthoses should only be tted and applied after consultation with your
medical provider:
1. Skin disorders/injuries in the relevant part of the body, particularly if
in ammation is present. Likewise, any raised scars with swelling, redness
and excessive heat build-up.
2. Impaired sensation and circulatory disorders of the legs/feet, "e. g.,
Diabetes".
3. Impaired lymph drainage – including soft tissue swelling of uncertain
origin, located remotely from the tted aid.

1. Fold the upper part of the support outwards until you can grip the heel.
2. Pull the support over the foot up to the heel.
3. Fold back the folded-over part of the support.
