How Does it Work?

The brace is reinforced antero- laterally and medially with unique pelottes that activate the supporting musculature and help to normalize tracking and position of the patella. A laterally reinforced silicone ring helps to prevent prevent lateral glide of the patella in the femoral trochlea or groove.

Individual adjustment is available via the lateral tension strap which adjusts pressure on the vastus lateralis.

Sizing and Technical Information:

All medi supports are designed with functional every day use in mind. The carefully manufactured materials used have achieved the German quality standard award - Oko-Tex standard 100 - and are suitable for those with sensitive skin. All braces wick moisture away from their inner surface to evaporate from the outer surface and have anti-bacterial properties to reduce odour formation. Our testers found this extremely efficient even during long hard training sessions.

Physio Warehouse's therapists advise this brace is an excellent high end range product for those with anterior knee pain and dysfunction. They incorporate a clever non slip system with precision weaves to minimise creasing during movement.
