Features
- Knitting concept: particularly stretchy, breathable and moisture wicking for effective compression and excellent wearing comfort.
- The insert form encompasses typical pain areas and important receptor zones of the knee joint.
- In addition, the viscoelastic insert has friction zones that are covered with nubs.
- The patella corrective guide is imbedded in the insert zone.
- The breathable, anatomical knit is very comfortable to wear.
- Two spiral stays located on the sides retain the shape of the knit.
- A special, non-irritative weave is incorporated in the critical area behind the knee.
- A stretch zone in the lower leg area facilitates application and removal.
- Lateral and medial zinc-coated steel wire stays.
Indications
- Irritation of soft tissue in the knee joint, especially osteoarthritis of the knee (chronic, post-traumatic and post-operative, ligament insertion degeneration and tendomyopathy)
- Knee pain with functional instability due to general muscular imbalance
- Patellar lateralization
- Relapsing joint effusion
Mode of Action
- The compression/decompression effect resulting from movement similar to a friction massage promotes the reduction of edema and resorption of swelling. This accelerates the healing process and leads to pain reduction in the medial subcapsular ligament area.
- The stimulation of skin receptors and nerve endings in the muscle-tendon transition supports the neuro-myonal system. This leads to a synchronization and activation of musculature. The vastus medialis is stimulated in particular. The rectus tendon is left free.
- The integrated corrective guide counteracts patellar drifting.
