The Swede-O Thermal Vent Open Wrap Hinged Knee Brace combines stability, comfortable support, gentle compression, and heat therapy to alleviate knee pain and foster healing. Featuring removable polycentric hinges, it offers medial and lateral stability with a stop at 0° to prevent hyperextension, addressing rotary instability secondary to cruciate injuries. The front opening avoids pressure on the patella, reducing injury aggravation and minimizing tenderness and bruising. Additionally, the popliteal cutout enhances comfort and prevents material bunching during knee flexion, while adjustable closures cater to swelling variations and wraparound straps prevent brace migration. Designed to conform to the knee's natural shape, its bilateral design accommodates both knees comfortably. Engineered with MVT2 Thermal Vent technology, its layered thermal lining wicks moisture away and retains body heat, promoting muscle and tendon pliability for enhanced therapy and exercise response. With gentle compression and warmth, this brace aids in reducing swelling, alleviating pain, and facilitating recovery, maintaining unmatched quality for therapeutic relief.
Key Features:
Polycentric Hinges: The removable hinges offer medial and lateral stability to the knee joint, with a stop at 0° to prevent hyperextension. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals with rotary instability secondary to cruciate injuries and deficiencies.
Front Opening with Patella Cutout: Unlike braces that cause pressure across the patella, the front opening of this brace reduces pressure, helping to prevent aggravation to injuries and reduce tenderness and bruising. The popliteal cutout at the back of the knee increases comfort and reduces material bunching during knee flexion.
Adjustable Closures and Wraparound Straps: The adjustable closures allow for a customized fit, accommodating variations due to swelling. The wraparound straps not only provide additional support but also help prevent brace migration, ensuring that the brace stays securely in place during movement.
Thermal Vent Technology: Engineered with MVT2 Thermal Vent technology, this brace offers heat therapy to increase pliability and elasticity of muscles and tendons. The soft thermal lining wicks away moisture, while the breathable membrane captures and retains natural body heat, promoting pain relief and recovery.
Instructions for Use:
Positioning: With the leg slightly bent, place the brace with the cutout behind the knee, ensuring that the Swede-O label is toward the top and the hinges are adjacent to the knee on each side.
Securing Bottom Closure: Secure the bottom closure and adjust the position of the brace so that the overlap is centered directly under the patella.
Securing Top Closure: Secure the top closure so that the opening sits directly over the patella.
Adjusting Straps: Thread the bottom compression strap through the bottom buckle and secure it onto itself. Repeat this process with the top strap and adjust the straps as needed for a comfortable and secure fit.
Washing Instructions:
To maintain the integrity and hygiene of the brace, regularly hand wash it in cold water with mild soap. Close all hook and loop fasteners before washing to prevent damage to other fabrics. Hang the brace to dry, avoiding machine drying to preserve its quality.
