Frequently asked questions
Does this provide better stability than a standard sleeve?
Yes, this brace provides superior medial and lateral stability. Unlike standard compression sleeves, it features dual-axis, polycentric hinges that offer mechanical support specifically designed for ligament sprains and joint conditions.
Can I adjust the fit for my specific anatomy?
Absolutely. The brace features an adjustable wraparound design with hook and loop closures and D-rings. This system allows you to achieve a secure, personalized fit, and the posterior strap can be adjusted to ensure the hinges are correctly positioned for your knee.
Is it comfortable to wear for long periods?
Yes, it is designed for extended wear. The open-patella and open-popliteal design is specifically included to:
- Increase airflow to the skin.
- Prevent uncomfortable fabric bunching behind the knee during movement.
Are the hinges removable for cleaning or sports?
Yes, the dual-axis hinges are fully removable. They are stored in inner pockets, which makes them easy to take out for cleaning and also makes the brace safer to wear during contact sports.
Is this suitable for use in water?
Yes, the brace is constructed from durable, moisture-friendly neoprene. It is engineered to remain functional in both fresh and saltwater environments, making it a great option for aquatic rehabilitation or activities.
Will this fit either of my knees?
Yes, this is a universal-fit brace. The design is fully symmetrical, allowing it to be worn on either the left or the right knee.
Is the material free from natural rubber latex?
Yes, the McKesson Hinged Knee Brace is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a suitable choice for those with latex sensitivities.
What is the best way to clean this brace?
To maintain the longevity of the materials, please hand wash the brace using cold water and a mild soap. Ensure it is completely air-dried before the next use.
Does this brace offer compression benefits?
Yes. Beyond the mechanical support provided by the hinges, the high-quality compressive neoprene construction applies consistent pressure to the soft tissue, which aids in stability and supports your recovery process.
Is this product eligible for FSA/HSA reimbursement?
Yes, this knee brace is FSA eligible and meets the requirements for HCPCS code L1821, making it a qualified medical device for your health savings accounts.
