It is crafted to provide support and stability to the knee joint during injury recovery or post-operative care.

The brace is made from a three-layered, PU foam fused fabric that is durable and provides cushioning. Its breathable material helps keep the user comfortable during extended wear.

Comfortable Material: Made from a soft, breathable, and skin-friendly three-layer foam fused fabric for comfort during extended use.

Patellar Strap: An extra patellar strap offers additional support to the knee and can be removed if not needed.
Q: For what conditions is this knee immobilizer used?
A: This knee immobilizer is designed to provide support and limit knee movement, making it suitable for use after surgery, for patellar dislocations, or to stabilize the knee joint during recovery from injuries like fractures or ligament damage. Always consult a healthcare professional for specific medical concerns.
Q: How do I determine the correct size?
A: To find the right size, measure the circumference of your thigh. You should then refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart to select the appropriate size. For the 'Short' length, it is often suggested for individuals below 5'2" in height or for conditions like mild sprains.
Q: Can I walk or sleep while wearing the immobilizer?
A: Yes, you can walk slowly, but you should avoid bending the knee. It can also be worn while sleeping to prevent accidental twists or bends. However, usage should be based on your healthcare provider's instructions.
Q: How should I clean the knee immobilizer?
A: It is generally recommended to hand wash the brace with a mild detergent in lukewarm water. Ensure all velcro straps are closed before washing. Allow it to air-dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
Q: What is the material of this immobilizer?
A: The immobilizer is typically constructed from a three-layer, latex-free fabric consisting of elastic microfibre, polyurethane (PUF) foam for cushioning, and a skin-friendly terry cloth. It also includes rigid but lightweight aluminum splints for stabilization.
