Via lateral biaxial hinges, the UM Hinged Knee Brace (UM-F06) stabilizes the joint. This open patella design reduces kneecap pressure while maintaining alignment. Three-layer elastic fabric provides compression and manages heat during movement.
Key Features
- Biaxial Steel Hinges: Dual-axis metal supports provide lateral ligament stability during heavy movement. Stops knee buckling or side-to-side shifting.
- Open Patella Design: Circular cutout centers on the kneecap area for pressure relief. Reduces pain during meniscus tear recovery.
- 3-Layer Elastic Fabric: Breathable multi-layered material weighing 190g for compression. Reduces sweat buildup under high humidity.
- Velcro Straps: Adjustable hook-and-loop fasteners for precise compression control. Secures the brace against slipping during movement.
- Ambidextrous Fit: Symmetrical construction fits either the left or right leg. Eliminates need for side-specific orthopedic supports.
Frequently Asked Questions
how to wear a hinged knee brace?
Center the open patella over the kneecap and align the hinges with the joint line. Tighten the Velcro straps until the support feels firm but doesn't stop blood flow.
is hinged knee brace good for arthritis?
The biaxial hinges take weight off the inner and outer knee compartments. This reduces bone-on-bone friction during movement.
