The Alpha Medical Three Panel Knee Immobilizer has a unique design that maximizes comfort and effectiveness. There is a large back panel made from 1/4″ thick foam that has three ridged preformed stays that run down the back of the leg. The stays are bent to resemble the anatomical shape of the back of the leg and knee. There are two side panels (one on each side) that attach with Velcro to the back panel. These side panels can be moved to make the immobilizer larger or smaller while keeping the side stays correctly positioned on the medial and lateral sides of the knee. There are four Velcro straps, which feed through plastic loops for even adjustable compression. The open patella design removes direct pressure from the patella for improved comfort while also helping to stabilize the patella. Knee Immobilizers are used to treat knee injuries, with a focus on the ligaments of the knee or other severe injuries to the soft tissue of the leg.

Ajustable velcro side panels, and adjustable straps. This brace is adjustable.

I’m 5’2 115lbs with average legs for my size, not skinny, not heavy. I dislocated my knee, tore my MCL and patellar tendon 4 weeks ago. My original brace came from my doctor, but he told me I could order a variety of styles depending on my comfort and/or activity level. I was told to stay…
Keeping My Knee Straight If you’ve had knee surgery (a knee replacement) and are having trouble getting the knee to get to ) degrees (fully straight), then you’ll find an Immobilizer very useful.My only regret is that I didn’t get the 16″ instead. I feel the 12″ isn’t quite long enough.I wear the Immobilizer only when I sleep. I put a cloth inside to wrap my leg before closing the Immobilizer, this keeps the Immobilizer clean and can be washed periodically.
Great fit for petite teen Bought this for my daughter who fractured her knee since the one given to her at the ER was too bulky. She’s 5 ft tall and around 100 lbs. Brace fit perfectly, is light weight and most importantly, provides the support needed for her knee.
