Sizes / Style

Choose your size by thigh circumference measured 6 inches above the center of the knee, and select the side that matches your affected knee.
Small: fits thigh circumference 9–13 inches (Left or Right)
Medium: fits thigh circumference 14–19 inches (Left or Right)
Large: fits thigh circumference 20–25 inches (Left or Right)
X-Large: fits thigh circumference 26–31 inches (Left or Right)
If you are between sizes, select the larger size for comfort.

Sizing Guide

Locate a point 6 inches above the center of your kneecap on your thigh.
With your leg relaxed and slightly bent, wrap a soft measuring tape level around the thigh at that point; do not pull too tight.
Check your measurement against the size options and select the size your number fits within. Choose Left or Right to match the affected knee.

How to Wear / Fit

Sit with your knee slightly bent. Open all straps and release air from the bladder if inflated.
Position the brace so the padded frame sits around the knee and the air bladder rests comfortably behind the knee to control hyperextension.
Secure the lower and upper straps in sequence until snug—comfortably tight but not restrictive. Trim excess strap length if needed.
Use the air pump/valve to add small amounts of air until you feel gentle forward support without pinching.
Stand and take a few steps. Re-adjust straps or air pressure for balanced support. Check skin and circulation; loosen if you feel numbness or tingling.
