Flex Light Knee Support #8151

This support was designed especially for patients who have trouble applying a traditional knee support. The full-length anterior opening and hook & loop closures make this support easy to apply or remove, even when sitting. Whether sitting or standing, the support offers optimal comfort and light support. For extra comfort and less bulk, a full-length insert made of soft, breathable material is located behind the knee. Two spiral stays located on each side of the knee provided support. Two detachable elastic straps provide additional compression.

Light instabilities, meniscus and collateral ligament injuries. Especially suited for geriatric or less active patients.

Instructions For 8151 Flex Light Knee Support

Open both support straps. With the logo at the top, wrap the support around the knee, calf section first with the upper edge close to the patella.

Next, apply the thigh section with the lower edge near the patella.

For extra compression, the detachable elastic straps can be applied to the thigh and calf areas. The closer they are, the more compression there will be.

Washing Instructions

Close the hook & loop straps before washing. Hand wash in warm water with a gentle detergent. Blot dry between two towels, then let air dry.

Note: If the patient is allergic to latex, please consult a physician before use.
