Features:
- HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SIZE: Using a soft/flexible tape measure, find the circumference of your leg 6 inches above the middle of your kneecap, in inches. Size 2XL fits thigh circumferences of 23"-25".
- The simple elastic support compresses and supports the knee, relieving pain and swelling and stabilizing the joint.
- The stretchy elastic fabric of these compression knee sleeves is breathable and lightweight, plus it easily fits under clothes. This makes the beige, slip-on knee brace great for daily or sports use.
- It's much easier and quicker to pull on this elastic knee sleeve than to wrap the knee with an ACE wrap.
- Treats mild knee sprains/strains, osteoarthritis, tendonitis (jumper's knee), mild knee effusion (swelling), bursitis and baker's cysts. You can also wear the elastic knee sleeve after surgery to bring down swelling and/or under a knee brace for an extra layer of support and protection.
Details:
This simple elastic knee support evenly compresses the joint, relieving pain and swelling. It also gives you a thin layer of flexible support.
What Does It Treat?
The elastic knee sleeve is a great solution for chronic knee pain, injury treatment, added protection during sports or even as an undersleeve for a heavier duty, hinged brace. Specifically, it can help with:
- Mild knee sprains/strains
- Osteoarthritis
- Joint effusion (AKA, water on the knee)
- Knee cap bursitis
- Baker's cyst
- Tendonitis (AKA, jumper's knee)
- Minor instability
- Post-surgery care
Main Features of Elastic Knee Sleeve
The snug, stretchy fabric of this cotton knee sleeve is lightweight and breathable, so your leg won't get overly sweaty beneath it.
The thin, beige knee brace fits easily beneath your pants. And an elastic band at the top and the bottom of the compression sleeve helps keep it in place.
Putting it on and taking it off is as easy as sliding it up or down the leg-there are no buckles, clasps, etc. to slow you down.
For these reasons, the fabric knee support is great for everyday or athletic use.
Advantages of a Slip on Knee Brace Vs. an ACE Bandage
Compression knee sleeves obviously save you time and energy compared with wrapping ACE bandages around the knee. A few other advantages of an elastic knee stabilizer:
- Requires no knowledge of knee taping techniques
- Won't tug on your skin or hair
- Adjustments are as simple as tweaking its position on the leg
Find the Perfect Size
The 10-inch long sleeve comes in sizes ranging from small to 2X-large that fit thigh circumferences (measure 6 inches above the mid-knee cap using a soft tape measure or string) ranging from 12 to 27 inches.
The knee pain sleeve works great whether you're a woman or a man, and the smaller sizes may even fit some children.
