Sizes / Style

One size: fits thigh circumference up to 30 inches; adjustable for most adults.
Choose the Left or Right model based on the affected knee.

Sizing Guide

Find a point 6 inches above the center of your kneecap on the thigh.
Wrap a soft measuring tape around your thigh at this point to get the circumference.
Check your measurement against the size options and select the Left or Right model. If your thigh measures over 30 inches, this brace will not fit.

How to Wear / Fit

Undo all straps and open the brace. Sit or stand with your knee slightly bent.
Place the brace so the hinge/condyle pad sits at the side of your knee (as instructed by your provider for the side to unload). Center the thigh and calf uprights along your leg.
Fasten the top thigh strap first, then the bottom calf strap, followed by the remaining straps. Pull until snug.
Adjust the unloading dial/strap gradually to create gentle relief on the painful side. Do not overtighten.
Smooth pads so there are no gaps or pressure points. The brace should feel secure but comfortable.
Walk a few steps and recheck strap tension. Make sure skin remains warm and pink; loosen if you feel numbness or tingling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right knee brace for my condition? + –

Consider the type of injury or pain you have. Mild aches might benefit from compression sleeves, while ligament tears often need a hinged brace for added stability. Unloader braces work well for arthritis, and patellar supports help with kneecap alignment. Checking each brace’s features and consulting a professional can ensure you find the best match.

Are knee braces good for osteoarthritis? + –

Yes. Unloader braces specifically shift weight away from arthritic compartments, reducing bone-on-bone friction and easing discomfort. Many people with osteoarthritis find they can walk or stand longer and with less pain when wearing an offloader brace that preserves the remaining healthy cartilage.

Should I wear a knee brace while running or exercising? + –

If you have a minor sprain, mild instability, or a manageable ligament or meniscus issue, a supportive brace with moderate compression can help prevent aggravation during workouts. For more serious injuries, talk to a healthcare professional before running, as some braces can stabilize the knee but don’t guarantee complete protection from high-impact moves.

Can I sleep in a knee brace for overnight support? + –

Many post-surgery or severe injury patients are advised to keep the knee immobilized at night. However, wearing a brace 24/7 can sometimes cause stiffness or skin irritation. If your doctor recommends it—and you feel comfortable—sleeping in a suitable brace can reduce accidental movements that worsen pain.

How do I measure my knee to ensure the best brace fit? + –

Most braces rely on measurements around the mid-patella (kneecap) and sometimes thigh and calf circumference. Use a flexible tape measure snugly—yet not too tight—around these areas. Comparing your measurements to each product’s size chart helps you select the ideal size. If you’re between sizes, opting for the larger option often prevents circulation issues and maintains comfort.
