AKS^TM Knee Support with Plastic Hinges

The AKS Knee Support has a unique adjustable closure design with distal and proximal openings that allows for easy application and ability to fit various patient shapes. In addition, compression can be adjusted to the desired level. This knee brace also helps stabilize the patella with a soft adjustable patellar buttress and works in concert with closed popliteal sleeve to provide circumferential compression around the knee and focal compression around the patella. Bilateral design fits left or right knee. Neoprene version provides greater compression and warmth. CoolFlex version is breathable and lightweight for superior comfort. Plastic hinges enhance this medical grade knee brace’s ability to conform to the knee during flexion. Internal Skinloc™ pad and plastic hinges function synergistically to resist distal migration and vertical bunching.

Indications include:

• arthritis of the knee
• bursitis of the knee
• chondromalacia patella
• patellar tendinitis
