Description  
 

Pro-Tec Patella Knee Tendon Strap

This new knee support from Pro-Tec Athletics in the USA, provides knee support, compression and stability for knee injuries; including patello-femoral pain and moderate ligament tears. It may also provide appropriate support for a meniscus tear. While the X-Factor does not provide as much stability as a "hinged knee brace", it provides more support and stability than most sleeves and wraps. We suggest you check with your doctor for the correct knee brace for your condition.

How it Works

The X-Factor knee brace stabilizes the knee joint area, helping to prevent further injury. It contains an infrapatellar buttress to support the patella and help improve patella tracking. Medial and lateral spiral stays provide additional stability to the ligaments of the knee joint.

Design Theory behind The X-Factor

The neoprene wrap is open behind the knee for greater comfort, and its unique design offers a smaller, second layer of neoprene to provide a custom fit and allow user to control amount of compression. Spiral stays and infrapatellar buttress also provide additional support.

FEATURES

Measurements

It comes in a Universal size which seems to meet the needs of most of us, although we have found that larger knees typically in an XL size find this brace too tight

Washing Instructions

Rinse in warm water. Drip dry. Pro-Tec Athletics does recommend rinsing this brace after each use to remove body salt.
