Key Features

• Unique Knit Design for Targeted Support: Features a specialized knitting pattern that provides variable levels of stretch and compression exactly where needed, offering a more sophisticated support profile than uniform sleeves.
• Durable Elastic Top Band: Incorporates a reinforced top band that ensures the support stays in place without rolling down, providing consistent compression and a secure fit during movement.

• Easy Pullover Application: Designed as a simple slip-on sleeve for quick and convenient daily use, making it easy to apply as part of a rehabilitation routine.
• Adaptive Compression Technology: The knit construction allows the support to maintain therapeutic pressure dynamically, adjusting to different knee positions and movements without becoming too tight or too loose.
• Breathable Fabric for Extended Wear: Made from a breathable elastic knit material that allows air circulation, ensuring comfort even during prolonged use.
• Firm Therapeutic Compression: Delivers a firmer level of compression compared to light support sleeves, making it suitable for managing mild injuries and providing more significant support.
• Maintains Natural Movement: While offering firm support, the flexible knit design does not severely restrict the knee's range of motion, promoting healthy rehabilitation.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Mild Knee Sprain and Strain Recovery: Provides firm, adaptive compression to support healing ligaments and muscles following minor knee injuries, helping to reduce swelling and stabilize the joint.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the "unique knit design" different from a standard sleeve?
Standard sleeves often have uniform elasticity. This support uses a specialized knitting technique to create zones with different stretch properties. This allows for targeted compression—for example, more support on the sides for stability and less behind the knee for comfort—providing a more customized feel.

How do I choose the right size for a knitted support?
Precise measurement is absolutely crucial. Follow the manufacturer's guide exactly, measuring at the specified points around your knee and leg. Knitted supports rely on exact sizing for their therapeutic effect and anatomical fit.

Is the top band uncomfortable?
No, when sized correctly, the top band is designed to be secure without digging in. Its purpose is to anchor the sleeve and prevent it from rolling down, which is a common issue with simple tubes of fabric during activity.

Can I wear this for sports like soccer or basketball?
Yes, its firm support and secure fit make it suitable for many sports. It provides good proprioceptive feedback and compression that can help during activities involving running, jumping, and quick direction changes.

How does "adaptive compression" work?
As your knee bends and straightens, the specially knitted fabric stretches and recoils in a way that maintains consistent therapeutic pressure across the joint, rather than becoming slack in some areas and too tight in others.

How do I wash it to preserve the knit?
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent is best. Gently squeeze out water; do not wring. Lay flat to air dry, shaping it back to its original form. Avoid machine washing, drying, and ironing to protect the intricate knit structure.
