Vulkan, the professional’s choice of muscle and joint supports, has produced a hot pink Advanced Elastic lightweight supports range, in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October.

Vulkan has pledged to raise at least £20,000 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, the UK’s leading charity committed to fighting breast cancer through research, campaigning and education, by donating 25% from the sale of every item in the Pink range.

More usually associated with sporting pro’s like England and Leicester rugby star Lewis Moody, Vulkan is acknowledging its female customers with this range, recognising their participation in active sports and the fact that the market itself is becoming increasingly fashion-conscious. 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.

All four Vulkan Pink supports are priced at just £11.50, with £2.88 from every purchase going to Breakthrough Breast Cancer, and are available to buy online at www.vulkansupports.co.uk/pink and selected retailers.

Chris Askew, Director of Fundraising at Breakthrough Breast Cancer said: “We are thrilled that Vulkan is supporting Breakthrough. The new Pink support range will help to raise valuable funds for Breakthrough’s vital research, campaigning and education work, helping to bring us a step closer to our vision of a future free from the fear of breast cancer.”

Vulkan is proud that its medically-approved supports help to promote faster injury recovery and facilitate a healthy, active lifestyle. The new Vulkan Pink joint and muscle supports are based on the brand’s recently-launched Advanced Elastic series, technically developed using 4-way stretch Nano Flextra™ for superior performance. As well as providing firm, uniform support and compression, this material has unique heat-retaining properties that increase blood flow across the joints and speed the natural healing process. The supports are antibacterial, washable and odour-free, their cross-sectioned construction removing excess sweat and keeping the skin dry and comfortable.

There are four products in Vulkan’s new Pink range. Elbow and Knee supports provide compression for swollen or tender joints, so are ideal for protecting or preventing strains and sprains; while the closed-heel Ankle support is perfect for easing tendon and ligament injuries. Finally, the Wrist support is a one-size- fits-all design for weak, injured or swollen wrists, suitable for either hand.
