The Breg 20.50 Knee Brace provides support between 20° and 50° of flexion, where the patella is at risk to abnormal tracking, subluxation, and dislocation. The 20.50 Patellofemoral Brace dynamically supports the patella through this range of flexion by increasing pressure of the bladder and underlying buttress against the lateral border of the patella as the knee moves between 20° and 50°. The buttress is dependent on position of the hinge and frame. When the frame is extended, the straps of the buttress are most taut and offer the most amount of pressure and control against the patella, inhibiting subluxation.
The Breg/Bledsoe 20.50 specialized pneumatic buttress begins to tighten immediately as the knee starts to bend, with the strongest stabilizing force felt between 30 and 40 degrees. This dual upright brace comes prefabricated in a 12” (30 cm) magnesium frame, and can be customized to a 14” (36 cm) aluminum frame (red for brace color). It's well suited for everyday and athletic use.

Amazing Product and Amazing Service
I have a horrific knee issue and have worn this brace for 3 years. Without it I am wheelchair-bound. My old one was worn so I bought another. Brilliant quick service from DME and a product that actually works and gives me my mobility back! Thank you.
Fast delivery
I purchased a medium size for my right knee and the order arrived the next day. You're one of the few that stock the brace - thankyou!
Just Started Running Again
I haven't been able to run because of severe pain under my kneecap from dislocating it last year. The brace reduced my pain 70% and now I can finally jog again. It's slow but I can finally jog again without worrying about the stability of my patella. Thank you!
Excellent brace for my kneecap problems
Excellent brace - very comfortable, great support and easy to use.
Excellent for Athletes
I have this brace, one for each knee actually, and I love them!! I wear them for when I go surfing (I have about 3 other braces I choose from for daily wear). I suffer from chronic patella subluxing/dislocating and have had both knees reconstructed. I needed a brace that was sturdy enough to handle everything the ocean throws at you and these surpassed anything and everything I could of hoped!! Without these braces I wouldn't be back in the water doing what I love. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Great
I ordered this for my daughter and she raves about how wonderful this knee brace is. I love that when she gets home from school, she is not complaining about her knee hurting so much. She is constantly going up and down stairs at school and with the pressure not evenly distributed, it was causing her quite a bit of pain. Unfortunately for her it is both knees, and we were only able to afford one brace at this time. I will be ordering the other one as soon as funds allow!
Bledsoe 20.50 for chondromalacia
I have suffered from a really bad case of chondromalacia and have been through all the PT for VMO strengthening, etc. My doctor recommended I try this brace as I had been going to PT for 6 months with no relief. I had tried other braces with typical donuts and such and had not gotten any relief. This product really worked for me. The buttress hooks onto the hinges so when you bend your knee, the buttress pushes down into the outside of your kneecap. I don't have nearly as much pain with stairs and bending down to get pots and pans. While I still don't get down on my hands and knees to play with my 3 year old, I can do a lot more than I used to. I wear mine everyday (have to) and try to wear more loose fitting pants when out in public. This has definitely helped me a lot and I would recommend it.
