Introduction
This is a soft and comfortable knee support without rigid bracing elements for minor swelling (after diagnosis of the cause of the swelling e.g. ligament sprains not lasting more than 6 weeks).
The Fortilax™ Elastic Knee Support is suitable for the 2 years recommended proprioceptive & neuromuscular stimulation through compression after successful rehabilitation from ACL rupture or reconstruction. It is Latex free, being constructed of Polyamide, Cotton and Lycra. It has been anatomically knitted with a multidirectional elastic fabric, with a looser knit on the patella to control minor local oedema. This offers support and compression during the rehabilitation from acute and chronic knee injury.
Indications
• Following successful rehabilitation from ACL injury or reconstruction
• During rehabilitation from Grade 1 ligament sprains
• Minor swelling where the diagnosis has been established
• Control of minor patella subluxation
