AKS^TM Knee Support with Metal Hinges & Straps

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. Internal Skinloc™ pad and nylon strap function synergistically to resist distal migration. Metal hinges and nylon straps on this medical grade knee brace provide medial and lateral stability. Hinge pockets are reinforced with high tenacity nylon for durability. Condylar pads enhance comfort.
