Swede-O Wraparound Neoprene Knee Support provides gentle compression and comfortable support for swollen or tender knees, sprains, strains, postsurgical support, meniscus injuries, and patellar tracking disorder. Plush neoprene construction retains body heat and provides compression to help reduce pain and promote healing.
This support’s wraparound design is easy and less painful to apply and adjust compared to pull-on style knee supports. The open patella design reduces pressure across the patella which helps prevent aggravation to tenderness or bruising. Popliteal cut out helps increase comfort and reduces material bunching during knee flexion. Adjustable closures provide a customized fit and allow for variations due to swelling.
To help improve patella tracking, the buttress pad can be positioned around the patella as needed, or removed if unnecessary. Four integrated flexible stays provide medial and lateral knee support for increased stability. Bilateral design fits right or left knee.
Instructions of Use:
Step 1: Release the straps. Adjust (or remove) the buttress pad along the inside of the patella opening for your desired comfort or support.
Step 2: With knee slightly bent, place the support on your knee with the patella opening over your knee cap. The straps should be to your right.
Step 3: Secure bottom closure.
Step 4: Adjust the position of the support so patella opening is centered directly over the knee cap.
Step 5: Secure top closure. The patella opening should sit directly over the patella. Adjust as needed. If you have questions about the use of this product consult your health care professional.
