Types

• Hinged Knee Braces: Equipped with metal or plastic hinges on either side of the knee, these braces provide maximum support, stability, and control of knee movement. They are often used after surgeries or for severe injuries like ligament tears.
• Compression Knee Sleeves: Made from elastic materials, these sleeves offer mild support and compression to reduce pain and swelling. They are commonly used for mild arthritis or minor injuries.
• Patella Stabilizing Braces: Designed with a special pad or strap to keep the kneecap (patella) in place, preventing it from moving out of alignment. Useful for conditions like patellar tracking disorder.
• Knee Immobilizers: Long braces that extend from the thigh to the ankle, keeping the knee completely straight and immobilized. Often used immediately after surgery or severe injury.

Usage

Knee braces are used for conditions such as ligament injuries (ACL, MCL), meniscus tears, arthritis, patellar tracking disorders, and during post-operative recovery.
