Push Med Patella Strap

The Push Med Patella Strap provides support to the patella, relieving dependence on the thigh muscle and reducing tractive force on the lower leg, easing pain and discomfort.

Product Characteristics Of The Push Med Patella Strap

The Push Med Patella Strap applies local pressure to the hamstring and provides support to the patella, this relieves the thigh muscle and the weighted force exerted on the lower leg. The pad consists of a skin-compatible and elastic polymer. The plastic bracing element above the pad ensures even distribution of pressure. A proper anatomical fit and the pad material help the Push Med Patella Strap remain in place when walking, making it ideal for everyday use.

The Push Med Patella Strap is made of Sympress which is a high quality, comfortable material. The soft microfibre material keeps skin dry and comfortable.

Washing Your Push Med Patella Strap

Before washing, close the Velcro to protect the Push Med Patella Strap and other laundry. The support can be washed at temperatures up to 30 degrees Celsius, on a delicate fabrics cycle or by hand. Do not use any bleaching agents.

A gentle spin-dry cycle can be used: after this, hang the brace up to dry in the open air (not near a heating source or in a tumble drier). To extend the brace's service life, it should be dried after use, if necessary, before being stored.
