The company has launched its Össur Formfit Pro line for people who are suffering from different musculoskeletal conditions but also want to remain active.

“Whether they are runners, triathletes, CrossFit devotees or competitive footballers, athletes of all abilities enjoy taking control of their exercise and well-being and rely on support compression options whenever they experience an injury,” said Jón Sigurdsson, Össur President & CEO. “We designed our Össur Formfit Pro knitted support solutions specifically for people who love physical activity and continually strive to achieve their personal best.”

The Össur Formfit Pro line includes a range of products designed to support various body parts and joints.

These include: Formfit Pro Knee for compression and patella support; Formfit Pro Knee OA, providing pain relief support for early-stage osteoarthritis; Formfit Pro Wrist and Formfit Pro Ankle, which provide compression support to their respective joints; Formfit Pro Elbow, which provides pain relief support for tennis elbow, and Formfit Pro Back, which provides important motion restriction support.

Iceland is participating in the 2018 FIFA World Cup for the first time in its history. Iceland is the smallest nation ever to qualify for the competition and has just 250,000 inhabitants.  

“Our alliance with the National Football Association of Iceland is an especially meaningful way to celebrate the achievements of both our National Football Team and the launch of the Össur Formfit Pro range,” Sigurdsson said. “2018 is going to be a big year, and we look forward to cheering Iceland on in their historic World Cup journey.”
