Frequently asked questions
Does this brace offer more support than a standard sleeve?
Yes, this brace provides superior medial and lateral support compared to standard sleeves. It features bilateral, dual-axis, polycentric aluminum hinges specifically designed to prevent unwanted lateral and medial shifts while mimicking the natural movement of your knee.
Can I use this brace in water?
Absolutely. This brace is designed for versatility and is fully compatible with both salt and fresh water, making it an excellent choice if you participate in water-based therapy or activities.
How do I know if the Small size will fit me?
The Small size is specifically engineered to fit users with a knee circumference between 15.5 and 18 inches. We recommend measuring your knee carefully to ensure this range provides the most effective compression and support for your needs.
Is it safe to wear this during contact sports?
Yes. The brace is designed with removable hinges that are encased in protective pockets. This feature allows you to remove the hinges when needed, making the brace safer and more suitable for contact sports or activities where rigid components might be a concern.
Which knee does this support?
This brace is ambidextrous and can be worn on either the left or right knee interchangeably.
Does the brace help with arthritis pain?
Yes, the brace is designed to manage pain associated with several conditions, including arthritis, ligament sprains (MCL/LCL), and post-surgical recovery. The high-quality neoprene material helps maintain therapeutic warmth and provides consistent compression to the soft tissue of the knee.
Is the brace difficult to put on?
Not at all. It features a convenient wraparound design that simplifies the application process. Once wrapped, you can easily achieve a secure, customized fit using the hook-and-loop strap system with D-rings.
Will it be too hot to wear all day?
While the neoprene material is designed to provide compression and warmth for therapeutic benefit, the brace features an open popliteal design (the back of the knee). This design specifically helps improve breathability and comfort during extended periods of wear.
What is the stabilization level?
This brace offers mild-to-moderate stabilization. It is designed to offer a balance between rigid mechanical support and the flexibility required for everyday movement or rehabilitation.
Are the hinges sturdy enough for daily activity?
Yes, the brace uses medical-grade aluminum hinges that are built for durability. These hinges are encased in secure pockets to ensure they stay in place while providing consistent mechanical support during your daily activities.
