Who Can Make Gains with the McDavid Knee Sleeve?
This advanced support brace is great for athletes with ligament instabilities and chronic conditions, or those on the road to recovery after a injury. The neoprene build offers compression and insulation to keep the joint flexible and supported, while the reinforced stays help with alignment to help prevent further injuries.
McDavid's High-Performance Neoprene
For their Neoprene Knee Supports, McDavid use a non-petroleum neoprene variant with an advanced cell structure. This makes it specially engineered to improve performance in the following ways:
- Superior compression stretch
- Greater therapeutic insulation
- A lighter build, without sacrificing support
- Longer-lasting comfort
Padded Open Patella Design
The open patella design of the brace improves patella tracking encourages healthier positioning as you move. An open patella support works better if you need to wear a brace for long periods or if you are exercising, as it forces the patella to stay central and maximises breathability when sweating. The area around the patella is also padded for cushioned comfort.
Steel Stays for Reinforced Support
More than just a sleeve support, the McDavid Brace features reinforced steel stays on either side. This reduces impact and helps maintain the joint along its axis to prevent further injury. These stays are flexible instead of rigid, moving with the knee, which is great for athletes who want to protect their knees without impeding their flexibility.
Five Available Sizes Along with Elastic Hook and Loop Straps
In order for a knee support to be effective, it's vital to find your best fit. This McDavid Support is supplied in five available sizes depending on the circumference of your knee (see sizing above). It also features elastic hook and loop straps for added security.
