Vulkan, which supplies muscle and joint supports, has launched a hot pink Advanced Elastic lightweight version in aid of a leading breast cancer charity.

This is the first time that the company has produced a range specifically for women, who it hopes will choose to wear the product during active sports including charity runs, walks and cycle rides.

The company has pledged to raise at least £20,000 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer by donating 25 per cent from the sale of every item in the Pink range to the charity.

This is the first time that Vulkan has produced a range specifically for women, who it hopes will choose to wear the product during active sports including charity runs, walks and cycle rides.

The brand has developed new S, M, L sizes for differently-shaped female physiques and used feedback from injury clinics to ascertain the most popular remedial products for women, namely knee, elbow, ankle and wrist supports.

Elbow and Knee supports provide compression for swollen or tender joints and said to be ideal for protecting or preventing strains and sprains; while the closed-heel Ankle support is designed for easing tendon and ligament injuries.

The Wrist support is a one-size-fits-all design for weak, injured or swollen wrists, suitable for either hand.

The new supports are based on Vulkan's recently-launched Advanced Elastic series, technically developed using 4-way stretch Nano Flextra™.
