Who is the Avenger® Hinged Knee Brace suitable for?
It is designed for people requiring more structured medial and lateral knee support than a basic compression sleeve, including selected ligament injuries, knee instability and arthritic knee conditions.

What is the difference between a hinged knee brace and a knee sleeve?
A knee sleeve mainly provides compression and light support. A hinged brace incorporates structured supports on either side of the joint and is generally considered when greater medial and lateral stability is required.

Can the hinges be removed?
Yes. The multi-centric hinges are removable, allowing the brace to be used with less rigid side support where appropriate.

Can the hinges be shaped?
The hinges are malleable and can be carefully contoured where fitting adjustment is required. Significant adjustment is best carried out by a healthcare or orthotic professional.

How should the hinges sit?
The hinges should sit alongside the knee joint and move with the knee rather than sitting noticeably too high or too low.

How tight should the Avenger® feel?
It should feel snug and supportive without causing pain, numbness, tingling or excessive pressure. The straps should hold the brace securely without being overtightened.

Will the brace slip down?
The adjustable thigh and calf straps are designed to help reduce migration, although correct sizing and fitting are important. No knee brace can guarantee that it will never move during activity.

Can it be used for knee arthritis?
It may be appropriate where arthritis is accompanied by a need for compression and additional knee stability. Where osteoarthritis primarily affects one side of the joint, a specialist OA unloading brace may provide a more specific type of support.

Can I use it following a ligament injury?
A hinged brace may be considered where ligament injury has resulted in knee instability. Significant ligament injuries or repeated giving way should be professionally assessed.

Can I wear it for sport?
It may be suitable during activity where additional knee stability has been recommended. A brace should not be used simply to return to sport before an injury is sufficiently rehabilitated.

Does the Avenger® contain latex?
Yes. The current product information states that the Avenger® Hinged Knee Brace contains latex.
