Shipping was fast, received before surgery.
The surgery knee brace arrived the day before my surgery just like DME promised. Thank you!.
Needed this as a replacement
I wear these long term for a leg injury from over ten years ago. I purchased another Merit OR as a replacement for my other knee brace which finally wore out.
Simple too use
4/5 stars. Had the doctor set the hinges up for me. He was happy I got exactly what he wanted me to have for my surgery.
