How Comfortable is the Brace to Wear?

Made with double face fabric that is both hypoallergenic and breathable, the knee brace will stay fresh and soft thanks to the cotton side that faces your leg but durable with a strong, polyester exterior. What's more, the thigh and straps come with an elasticated insert that helps to reduce how tight the straps feel by moving in sync with the muscle meaning the brace is comfortable while seated and walking.

Is the Brace Easy to Adjust?

Once the straps are attached to the buckles and the five-strap system has been established, you can pull the tabs to fasten the straps as desired. The pull tabs are magnetic and attach firmly in their housing so that they don't swing around annoyingly as you walk. The straps will work like a winch as you walk to reach the optimum amount of traction.

Support Only When Needed

The brace automatically switches from stand-by to providing active tension when needed so that your leg is always supported while walking but neutral when you sit down. This means you can wear the strap throughout the day without having to adjust it as you change position and, thanks to the breathable, dual-material build, your leg will stay fresh as well as comfortable.

Pressure Sore Prevention

To best distribute pressure, the five strap system forms and "X" shape on your knee's condyle, this constant pressure will not result in a pressure sore thanks to the condylar pressure pad on the other side of the knee. This pad use Technogel padding to help relieve pressure and maintain optimum, natural pressure distribution across the knee.
