Product Details
The OTC 2544 knee stabilizer wrap is made from Orthotex fabric, an open 3-dimensional knit that is a non-latex alternative to neoprene. It offers breathability, elasticity, therapeutic compression, comfort and heat control. It is less hot than neoprene, thus appropriate for long term wear or wear in warm climates, and ideal for wearers who are allergic to or irritated by neoprene fabric.
INDICATIONS LISTED BELOW
• Opens flats for easy application over injured, swollen or tender knees
• Open cell foam Orthotex material is breathable and allows for comfortable long-term wear
• Multidirectional stretch material provides even compression over the anatomical prominences of the joint
• Multi-function neoprene buttress surrounds kneecap and provides compression and stabilization. Slits on interior of buttress cover allows for a wide range of adjustability
• Polycentric hinged bars with flexion and extension stops, provide rigid medial-lateral stability, yet flex and extend naturally with the joint
• Upper and lower hook-and-loop encircling straps maintain stabilizer in correct position; straps are adjustable and removable
• Latex free

MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS
A. Measure around the bend of the knee
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wrap the support around the knee until the front opening surrounds the kneecap (patella).
2. Adjust the support so the hinged bars are correctly aligned along the midline of the knee.
3. When properly applied, the support should fit snug but not so tight that it deeply depresses the skin.
