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.

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 to sleep in. I needed to use this to keep my leg straight-ish while I slept. After trying a 20″, which was very uncomfortable, I bought this. Works perfectly and is quite comfortable. I am 5’7″ and 135 lbs.
Good value but tore in the first days of yse Velcro straps tore off and this is an issue because you need to tighten it to prevent slipping down on the leg. Fortunately I was able to fix it by cutting a piece off the other strap and fastening the broken piece down. did not return as I need it now for post surgical use. Was very reasonable.
