The knee joint is made of two main joints: tibiofemoral and patellofemoral. They connect tibia, femur and patella. Kneecap is a flat, mobile small bone which is maintained by e.g. patellar ligament. Patellar maltracking causes painful symptoms in front of the knee. What’s the reason of maltracking? First of all, quadriceps muscle imbalance is the main factor. When lateral vastus is tight, it “pulls” the kneecap together sideway and patella is out of alignment. It causes knee joint conditions and patellar chondromalacia. Moreover, subluxation or traumatic dislocation (e.g. sport) may result in limited knee motion and the knee will lock and you will not be able to straighten it. Obviously, you can suffer also from many kneecap conditions such as tendinosis, bursitis or plica bands.
It doesn’t matter which condition you suffer from, your patella requires proper treatment management. In this case, we highly recommend our universal wrap around patellar brace which supports the patellofemoral joint.
Our wrap around knee brace supports patella perfectly. It is made of high quality fabric UniPren™.
UniPren™ is universal 3-layered fabric made of external elastic polyamide self-gripping layer and internal neoprene foam with elastic jersey. Our fabric is soft and elastic and not knitted, what prevents skin against the skin abrasions in the compression zones. Self-gripping function of UniPren™ allows to fit the brace precisely.
Due to loop fabric, our brace is one size product which fits for mostly knee joints. Also, it allows to adjust smooth compression according to therapeutic or patient’s needs.
Our wrap around kneecap brace maintains the patella in alignment. It prevents against its maltracking or dislocations. Moreover, the brace supports and offloads the patellofemoral joint and reduces the anterior knee pain.
The brace provides therapeutic compression and reduces bruises. Our kneecap brace is an excellent product for active people. It keeps the patella in correct position, prevents against the injuries. It supports the knee after conditions, reduces the inflammation and improves healing.
Our kneecap wrap around brace is an excellent products for everybody who desires to protect his knee joint and improves the healing process. The brace may be used preventively or as a support to treatment.
