Specifications
1. Integrated Silicone Band - Reduces slipping and improves fit
2. Detonation pad - promotes relaxation of the iliotibial tract; minimizing lateral pull on the patella
3. Proximal wing - activates vastus medials muscle to help stabilize the knee
4. Patella pad - anatomical pad with integrated corrective strap guides the patella and counteracts lateral drifting and twisting
5. Donning and doffing aids - rigid plastic stays with flexible bending zones and integrated donning/doffing aids for easy application
6. Corrective strap - ensures precise, individually adjustable tension for proper alignment
6. Anatomically contoured Train knit – for optimized medical effectiveness thanks to the perfect fit
7. Hoffa spots – target the Hoffa’s fat pad, a pain trigger point, to promote self-healing and stabilization
