Popular Ihle Products and Orthopedic Textiles
Ihle Knee Brace Undersleeves
Do you experience chafing or skin irritation from your knee brace? The Ihle Universal Knee Brace Undersleeve creates a soft, breathable layer between your skin and knee orthosis. This helps reduce direct friction and may distribute pressure from the brace more comfortably. The undersleeve is available in different lengths and is suitable for everyday use, work, sports and rehabilitation.
Ihle Wrist and Thumb Brace Liners
Wearing a wrist brace or thumb orthosis can also cause pressure points and skin irritation. The Ihle Universal Wrist Brace Undersleeve protects the skin around the hand, wrist and forearm. The cotton liner is available with or without a thumb section and can be worn on either hand. Its washable material also helps maintain hygiene when wearing a brace for extended periods.
Ihle Corset Undershirts for Scoliosis Braces and Back Orthoses
Comfortable undergarments are particularly important when wearing a scoliosis brace or orthopedic back corset. The Ihle Corset Undershirt with V-Neck and Underarm Flap is specifically designed to be worn underneath an orthopedic corset. Its seamless design helps reduce friction and pressure points. Ihle also offers corset undershirts with spaghetti straps and an underarm flap. These products are available in different sizes for children and adults.
Ihle Hallux Valgus Socks
Do you have a misaligned big toe (hallux valgus) and experience pressure or friction between your toes? The Ihle Hallux Valgus Socks feature a separate compartment for the big toe. This separates the big toe from the other toes and may help reduce friction and irritation. The socks are suitable for everyday use and can be worn inside regular shoes, provided there is enough room.
What Conditions Are Ihle Products Used For?
Ihle orthopedic textiles are primarily designed to improve comfort when wearing braces, orthoses and orthopedic corsets. Depending on the product, they may help with:
- Skin irritation and chafing caused by knee braces
- Pressure points underneath wrist and thumb orthoses
- Friction and discomfort when wearing a scoliosis brace
- Long-term use of orthopedic corsets
- Sensitive skin underneath braces and splints
- Improved hygiene when wearing braces every day
- Hallux valgus and friction between the toes
The most suitable Ihle product depends on the type of brace or orthosis you wear and where you experience discomfort. An undersleeve or corset undershirt does not provide stabilising support itself, but it can make wearing your existing orthopedic device more comfortable.
