Description
The P+caRe Knee Immobilizer is a stabilizer designed for situations requiring the knee to be kept straight, such as after surgery or following certain knee injuries. It provides rigid support to the knee joint, limiting movement to aid in the healing process. This immobilizer is constructed with features for optimal positioning and to keep the leg in full extension when desired.
Anatomically Contoured Stays: Features posterior stays that are shaped to fit the back of the leg, along with movable medial and lateral stays, to allow for proper positioning and firm immobilization. Adjustable Compression: An elastic patella strap is included to provide additional compression and support directly to the kneecap area. Secure Fastening System: Equipped with multiple contact closure straps that ensure the immobilizer fits snugly and stays in place during use.
Q: What is the primary purpose of this knee immobilizer?
A: This knee immobilizer is designed for post-operative immobilization and to support mild to severe knee injuries where keeping the leg in a straight, extended position is required for healing.
Q: How do I clean this knee brace?
A: First, remove any metal stays and close all contact closures. It should be hand-washed in lukewarm water using a mild soap, and then allowed to air-dry completely.
Q: How do I determine the correct size?
A: To find your size, you need to measure the circumference of your knee. For some immobilizers, you may also need to measure the circumference of your mid-thigh, typically about six inches above the knee joint.
Q: Can I wear this while sleeping?
A: You may wear the brace while sleeping for the first few nights or until pain subsides, but it can often be removed at night to help prevent muscle stiffness. Always follow the guidance of your healthcare provider regarding duration of use.
Q: Is it necessary to consult a doctor before using this product?
A: Yes, it is advisable to seek the advice of a physician or another qualified health professional regarding your medical condition and the appropriate use of this knee immobilizer.
