Great for Recovering Athletes Getting Back to Exercise

If you're looking to get back in the gym after surgery or a serious knee injury, it's important to keep your knee protected while you get back to your best, otherwise you could risk reinjury. The Dual Disk Hinges not only promote healthy knee alignment as you move, but they also feature hyperextension stopping cushioning.

This is beneficial for those with ligament instability, as it prevents overly stressful or traumatic movement while you slowly build back joint strength.

McDavid's High-Performance Neoprene

For their Neoprene Knee Supports, McDavid use a non-petroleum neoprene variant with an advanced cell structure. This is specially engineered to improve performance in the following ways:

• Superior compression stretch
• Greater therapeutic insulation
• A lighter build, without sacrificing support
• Longer-lasting comfort

Perforated Back Panel Keeps You Cool

Neoprene is great for insulating whilst also being fantastically supportive, both of which can aid recovery. This can also lead to overheating and excess sweating.

That's not an issue with this McDavid Brace, as the pack panel is perforated to encourage healthy airflow. This helps manage both heat and moisture for lasting comfort.

Padded Open-Patella Design

The open patella design of the brace improves patella tracking encourages healthier positioning as you move. An open patella support works better if you need to wear a brace for long periods or if you are exercising, as it forces the patella to stay central and maximises breathability when sweating. The area around the patella is also padded for cushioned comfort.

Dual Disk Hinges for Healthy Movement

Each side of the knee support features a disk hinge designed to correct misalignment and encourage healthy movement. The hinges are also independently articulated, making sure the brace isn't too rigid when you're turning and moving.

Cushioned Stoppers to Prevent Hyperextension

For certain types of knee injuries, hyperextending (completely straightening) the knee joint can be really painful. This can even worsen an injury.

To help prevent this, the disk hinges of this McDavid Knee Brace feature cushioned hyperextension stoppers.

Five Available Sizes with Elastic Hook and Loop Straps

In order for a knee support to be effective, it's vital you find the right fit for you. This McDavid Support is supplied in five available sizes depending on the circumference of your knee (click here to see sizing information).
