This support is ideal for those who dislike the bulk and heat generation of neoprene or latex. Its breathable, compressive four-way stretch material targets support to the areas most requiring it, mimicking the support and action planes of key ligaments and tendons to reinforce them. The compressive element stimulates blood flow, which can help prevent the build-up of lactic acid during and post-activity, reducing the prospect of cramp and stiffness. It is also a valuable recovery and rehabilitation tool for injuries. The seamless circular knit and tailored design prevent bunching around the back of the knee, making the support more comfortable for long periods. The latest edge trim technology helps prevent slipping and reduces wear, ensuring longevity. It is recommended for weak, stiff, or aching knees. This support is bilateral, fitting either the left or right knee. It is made from 62% nylon and 38% spandex and is hand washable. This product is classified as Support Level 2: Moderate. Available in 4 sizes: SMALL (12-14" / 30-35cm), MEDIUM (14-16" / 35-40cm), LARGE (16-18" / 40-45cm), and XL (18-20" / 45-50cm). Please measure around the center of the knee while the leg is straight for accurate sizing. The pack contains 1 support.
