• Slight instabilities
• Joint effusion, swelling and irritation (e.g. arthrosis, arthritis,
overloading, injury, postoperative)

Contraindications

the legs or feet, lymph drainage disorders.
Mode of action
Together with the pad, the knitted fabric has a massaging effect,
improves perfusion and reduces effusion and swelling. This
combination of massage and stabilisation supports joint function,
enhances joint mobility and alleviates pain.
Instructions for fitting
• Grasp the support, with the thumb on the inside and on the upper
end of the lateral rods (Fig. 1).
• Pull the support over the knee, in such a way that pad covers the
knee centrally without compressing it (Figs. 2 + 3)
• To remove the support, grasp it at the bottom on the lateral rods
and pull it upwards and away (Fig 4).
Please note that the support should be fitted for the first time as
instructed by trained specialists.
