Adjustable Three-Panel Knee Immobilizer - Orthopedic Knee Brace
Category: karm adjustable knee brace
The Alpha Medical Three Panel Knee Immobilizer is designed to maximize comfort and effectiveness for those seeking treatment for knee injuries. Its unique three-panel construction features a large back panel made from 1/4" thick foam, with three ridged preformed stays that follow the anatomical shape of the back of the leg and knee. Two adjustable side panels, attached with Velcro, can be positioned to accommodate different leg shapes and sizes, ensuring a customized fit.
The immobilizer is equipped with four Velcro straps that feed through plastic loops, allowing for even, adjustable compression. The open patella design helps to remove direct pressure from the kneecap, improving comfort while also aiding in stabilizing the patella.
Knee Immobilizers are commonly used to treat various knee injuries, particularly those affecting the ligaments or other soft tissue in the leg. The immobilizer helps to restrict unwanted movement of the leg and bending of the knee, providing the necessary support and pain relief during the recovery process.
When selecting the appropriate size, it's important to consider the positioning of the kneecap, which should be centered within the brace. The immobilizer is available in six different lengths: 12", 16", 18", 20", and 22", allowing users to choose the size that best fits their individual needs.
To apply the immobilizer, start by laying it flat and locating the side panels. Adjust the side panels by attaching them farther away from the center of the back panel to increase the brace size, or closer to the center to make it smaller. After adjusting the fit, wrap the immobilizer around the knee and secure the straps through the buckles, fastening them with Velcro.
For care, simply close all fasteners and machine or hand wash the immobilizer using a mild detergent. Dry it flat, and avoid using a dryer or iron.
The Alpha Medical Three Panel Knee Immobilizer is a versatile and adjustable solution for treating a variety of knee injuries, from sprains and dislocations to post-operative recovery and other mild to severe conditions. Its breathable, lightweight materials and customizable fit ensure comfort and targeted support during the healing process.
