ALEX ORTHOPEDIC Three Panel Open Patella Knee Immobilizer 22"

The Three Panel Knee Immobilizer has a unique design that maximizes comfort and effectiveness. There is a large back panel made from 1/4" thick foam that has three ridged preformed stays that run down the back of the leg. The stays are bent to resemble the anatomical shape of the back of the leg and knee. There are two side panels (one on each side) that attach with Velcro to the back panel. These side panels can be moved to make the immobilizer larger or smaller while keeping the side stays correctly positioned on the medial and lateral sides of the knee. There are four Velcro straps, which feed through plastic loops for even adjustable compression. The open patella design removes direct pressure from the patella for improved comfort while also helping to stabilize the patella. Knee Immobilizers are used to treat knee injuries, with a focus on the ligaments of the knee or other severe injuries to the soft tissue of the leg.
