elastic knee support with silicone pads (closed or open patella)


The patella, also known as the kneecap or kneepan, is a thick, circular-triangular bone which articulates with the femur and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint. It is the largest sesamoid bone in the human body.

The primary functional role of the patella is knee extension. The patella increases the leverage that the tendon can exert on the femur by increasing the angle at which it acts. Patellar dislocations occur with significant regularity, particular in young female athletes. It involves the patella sliding out of its position on the knee, most often laterally, and may be associated with extremely intense pain and swelling.

This kneeted knee support features specially designed shape, to help knee movement and silicone pad ring around the patella area to provide extra support. Silicone is a soft material, allowing the knee to move easily while providing significant support to the patella area, in order to avoid dislocations.
