- Bledsoe's NZONE knee brace is a combination of a knee brace and football equipment. Protects against lateral or medial blows to the knee.
Is it a protective knee brace or football equipment? It's both. The Bledsoe NZONE knee brace system provides ligament protection to the knees of offensive and defensive linemen. The brace is made of an aluminum frame that helps absorb the force of a lateral or medial blow to the side of the knee. Additional thigh and knee pads are incorporated in the brace frame and help protect against soft tissue bruises to the thigh and knee.
While injuries are commonly associated with football, they don’t have to be devastating. The NZONE brace acts like a ‘seat belt’ for the knee to protect it from blows typically occurring in football. The required thigh and knee pads are attached to prevent against contact injuries and fit comfortably under the pants. Most of all, it is designed to help protect against injury when lateral or medial blows occur to the knee, which are common with interior linemen. The durable aluminum brace frame provides strength and protection, while the attached pads reduce impact from contact during play. Bledsoe’s unique strapping system and the light-weight of the brace (19 oz) reduces migration.
Thigh and knee pads have been mandatory equipment in high schools and colleges. On May 22, 2012, the NFL made thigh and knee pads mandatory equipment for the 2013 season.
