The Bort Achilles Support - German Precision Where You Need It Most

Founded in 1981 by Rudi and Irmgard Bort and three part-timers, Bort Medical has, in the more than twenty years of its existence, grown from strength to strength. To the point that it now offers 200 different medical products.
One such product is of course the Bort Achilles Support. A form-fitting nylon/cotton foot support for sufferers of Achilles Tendonitis, the Bort Achilles wrap applies targeted compression to the ankle and foot, thereby stimulating circulation and healing. Three built-in silicone gel pads are placed throughout the wrap, two of which massage the affected tendon, while the third pad absorbs heel shock. A second heel pad is included for use with
the unaffected foot in order to even out your step.

Retailing in the region of $50, The Bort Support is not the cheapest thing going, so it's wise (isn't it always) to be sure how to correctly determine the size you'll need. This is done by measuring (in inches) the widest portion of the ankle. Available sizes run from small to extra large. While we're talking about Bort, we thought it prudent to highlight a few other
support products, for the ultimate footcare package that'll get you up and running, quite literally, in the quickest time possible. This one's for the hypochondriacs among us. Go on, we know who we are.

Other Bort footcare support products:

• - StabiloPren Ankle Support
  
• - TaloStabil Ankle Support with Polyethylene Pad
  
• - MalleoStabil Orthosis
  
• - Metatarsal Bandage
  
• - Pedisoft Toe Spreaders, Separators

The StabiloPren is a neoprene bandage with closed heel offering variable compression and support to prevent supination and pronation. The TaloStabil, meanwhile, offers pressure relief with the careful placement of two polyethylene pads and is rated compression class II. The MalleoStabil Orthosis, on the other hand is made up of two anatomically shaped 25cm
plastic shells and features a molding foam cushion for optimal comfort and air-gel cushioning that can be pre-cooled and applied during the acute phase of treatment (that is to say, directly after the injury).

The Metatarsal bandage is quite simply an elastic bandage placed around the circumference of the forefoot and is indicated for use by those people suffering from flat or splayfoot. Finally, the last of our quick overview of Bort products from the ankle on down (hey, you can never know too much, right?) are Bort's Pedisoft toe separators and spreaders. Designed to help separate and straighten dislocated toes while also preventing rubbing and
chafing. Constructed of silicon, these devices are smooth and comfortable to wear, adjust automatically to the contours of your feet and toes, and are easily washable.

Although we can't guarantee you'll find all 200 of the company's products, for Bort's Achilles Support and other Achilles, ankle, foot arch and heel products, the neatly organized links just to the right-side of this page will serve you well.
