Description

The Mediband Articulated Knee Brace is specifically designed to provide increased stability in the event of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury or general knee instability. With its clever wrap-around design, the knee brace is easy to put on and take off, even if you have difficulty pulling the brace over your foot. The design also allows you to wear the brace over clothing, which is especially practical for winter sports or activities where quick application is needed.

The knee brace is 30 cm long and equipped with articulated splints on both the inside and outside of the knee, which provides extra stability for people with knee problems. It is made of neoprene, a material that provides both warmth and compression, which helps reduce pain and swelling. Adjustable straps with "grip-handles" make it easy to open and close the brace, and ensure that it stays in place without restricting freedom of movement.

Mediband Articulated Knee Support is perfect for activities that require extra stability, such as winter sports or other sports where knee strain is high.

To find the right size, measure the circumference around your knee and choose from sizes Small, Medium, Large or X-Large. The knee brace is designed for easy application and can be adjusted to provide optimal comfort and support throughout the day.
