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 breathable and comfortable to wear for extended periods. The BKN-301 is a cotton/elastic knee brace (67% cotton, beige color) with an anatomical shape, tubular form, and softness for comfort and ease of wear. 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 all-way 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.
