Reduce medial or lateral knee loading with an adjustable unloader brace designed to ease joint pressure, support mobility, and help manage bone-on-bone discomfort during daily activities.
Key Features
- Adjustable universal fit: Fits most men and women, including plus-size users, with thigh circumferences up to 30 inches.
- Lightweight, low-profile construction: Foam padding and medical-grade molded plastic provide cushioning while helping reduce skin irritation and sensitivity.
- Medial-lateral pressure relief: The varus-valgus correction design helps unload either the inside or outside compartment of the knee.
- Adjustable support struts: Help limit wobbling and can be fine-tuned with the included adjustment tools.
- Quick-release buckles: Make the brace easier to put on and remove.
- Non-slip interior: Helps keep the brace securely positioned during extended wear.
- Optional motion control: Flexion and extension inserts help restrict excessive bending and guard against hyperextension, making them useful during postoperative care or injury recovery.
