Hinged Knee Brace

Designed to provide firm support during physical activities. A snug fit to the knee for your comfort, this firm support does not restrain movements and lessens the risk of injuries during activity. Lateral hinges provide effective support and increase safety; the removable cushion around the patella opening stabilizes the patella and disengages the kneecap to avoid direct pressure on the knee. Specially designed to support the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), it may also be used for many different patella problems, including Chondromalacia, Patella Tendonitis, Subluxation and Dislocation. Neoprene retains body heat, increases blood circulation, and helps keep muscles supple.
