Frequently asked questions
Does this brace work for either knee?
Yes, the McKesson Hinged Knee Brace features a versatile, symmetrical design that is fully suitable for either the left or the right knee.
Can I wear this brace for water activities?
Yes, it is perfectly safe for use in water. The brace is constructed from durable, high-quality neoprene, making it suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments, as well as aquatic therapy sessions.
Is it safe to wear during contact sports?
Absolutely. The dual-axis hinges are fully removable and are safely encased within protective inner pockets, which helps minimize risk and keeps the brace secure during physical or contact sports.
How does this prevent bunching behind my knee?
This brace features an open popliteal design. By leaving the area behind the knee open, it significantly reduces material buildup and bunching, allowing for a more comfortable range of motion during movement.
What kind of support do the hinges provide?
The brace uses dual-axis, polycentric hinges on both sides. This advanced engineering provides superior medial and lateral stabilization compared to standard knee sleeves, offering robust support for instability and sprains.
How do I ensure this size will fit?
This Extra Large variant is designed to fit a circumference of 23 to 25.5 inches. To ensure the best support, measure your leg circumference to verify it falls within this range.
Is this brace suitable for post-surgery recovery?
Yes, the brace is specifically engineered for post-surgical recovery, including procedures like an arthroscopic meniscectomy, as well as for managing ongoing issues like MCL/LCL sprains and arthritis.
Is this brace easy to adjust?
Yes, it is designed for convenience. It utilizes a wraparound, hook-and-loop strap system with D-rings, which allows you to easily customize the fit and tension to your specific needs.
Can I remove the hinges for light activity?
Yes, the hinges are fully removable. This allows you to adapt the level of support and structure based on your current activity level or rehabilitation phase.
Does the material help with healing?
Yes, the compressive neoprene material is designed to retain natural body heat. This helps promote blood flow to the area, which can assist in the healing and recovery process after injury or surgery.
