It also includes a full-length insert made of soft, breathable material behind the knee. Two aluminum and steel polycentric hinges provide support along with two non-elastic nylon straps that can be crossed in the knee-fold to prevent hyperextension.

Instructions For 8153 Flex Stable 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

Remove the splints and close hook and loop before washing. Hand wash in warm water with mild detergent. Let air dry.

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