How To:
Brace Application Guide
Unfasten the straps and pull the knit sleeve onto the leg, positioning it so the knee buttress is centered over the kneecap. Feed the bottom strap through the D‑ring and secure it, then repeat with the top strap to help prevent slipping and apply ideal compression. If using the removable hinges, ensure they sit smoothly along the inside and outside of the knee before final tightening.
To receive maximum therapeutic support, the knee sleeve should feel snug and supportive without being excessively tight or restricting circulation.
To convert the brace for left‑knee use, fully unfasten the top strap and locate the hinge slits at the top of each hinge pocket. Gently pull back the fabric to expose the hinges, slide them out, and reinsert them on the opposite sides. Make sure the hinge labels face outward and correctly indicate Inside Left Knee and Outside Left Knee before re‑securing the strap.
