Knee Braces and Medical Supports

MAXAR Sports Medical Braces and Supports, manufactured by ITA-MED Co, South San Francisco, use natural, hypoallergenic fibers such as cotton, wool, angora, and neoprene. These materials make the products b r e a t h a b l e and comfortable to wear for extended periods.

The TKN-201 (M) wool/elastic knee brace with stays (56% wool, white) includes two spiral metal stays for increased support to control lateral movement. The NKN-209 neoprene knee brace pull-on (terry cotton lining-blue) with reinforced padded open patella eliminates direct pressure and stabilizes the knee cap while providing uniform allway stretch and support. The KNS-140 Neoprene Strong Hinge, wrap-around knee brace (black) provides maximum all-way compression, support, and protection. Two removable metal hinges provide lateral support without impeding normal movement. An additional patella buttress supports the knee cap.
