Short Description
Bioskin's Hinged Knee Brace provides support for knees with ligament injuries. Lightweight, second-skin hinged design; Available in open patella and front closure versions.
The BioSkin Hinged Knee Brace provides extra ligament support and protection in a breathable design. The hinged knee brace features Bio Skin's unique material and lightweight bi-centric hinges for medial-lateral support and molded condyle padding for enhanced comfort and performance. The open patella models come with both a circular and a horseshoe shaped buttress than can be inserted into the front and adjusted to provide the correct amount of patella stabilization based on your symptoms. The wraparound front closure version does not come with a buttress of any kind and is primarily used to provide support for knees with ligament damage only. The Bio Skin Hinged Knee Skin is made out of thin, breathable, neoprene-free fabric that performs as well as neoprene without stretching out over time. Four choices of fabrics are available to meet your needs for comfort and performance (see specs tab above for details). The hinged knee skin is one of the most popular BioSkin hinged knee brace designs available, and can be used for ACL, PCL, LCL, MCL injuries, meniscus tears, arthritis symptoms, as well as, general knee protection for athletics.
