The Hely & Weber KnappTM Hinged Knee Orthosis was developed in collaboration with Thomas Knapp M.D., Santa Monica orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Group. Functionality and price are the main highlights of this versatile Level III knee brace. The Knapp hinged brace provides unequaled quality in construction & design. Hinges are fully covered for sports activity, yet easily accessible. Elasticized band in thigh strap ensures comfort. Longer length can be used for mild to moderate ACL/PCL sprains & strains and as an adjuct to patella fracture. Constructed of Kuhl perforated neoprene prevents moisture buildup like some neoprene braces, but still provides comfortable compression of the knee. Neoprene condyle pads provide protection and comfort and reduce chaffing.
