Multi-Band Patella Stabiliser (Open Knee)

• Open Patella with Silicone Ring – Provides targeted support around the kneecap while leaving its centre uncovered.
• Interchangeable Side Stays – Allows the level of medial and lateral reinforcement to be adapted.
• Flexible Spiral Stays – Provide lighter side support where more substantial ligament stability is not required.
• Polycentric Side Stays – Provide additional MCL/LCL reinforcement while allowing knee movement.
• Two Adjustable Compression Straps – Allow fit and compression to be adapted around the leg.
• Free Popliteal Area – Reduces material directly behind the knee during flexion.
• 100% Cotton Against the Skin – Provides a soft skin-contact surface.
• Breathable Construction – Designed for repeated use during rehabilitation and everyday activity.
• Bilateral – Suitable for either knee.
• Seven Sizes – Small through to 4X Large.

Indicated for patellar subluxation, patellar instability, selected tendon symptoms, mild knee sprains, joint laxity and passive support during post-fracture or post-operative rehabilitation.

May also be suitable where additional MCL/LCL stability is required alongside patella support.

Who is the Multi-Band Patella Stabiliser (Open Knee) suitable for?
It is designed for people requiring patella support with adjustable medial and lateral knee stability, including selected cases of patellar subluxation, patellar instability, mild sprains and joint laxity.

What does the open-patella design do?
The front opening leaves the centre of the kneecap uncovered while a soft silicone ring surrounds the patella to provide targeted support and help position the brace.

What is the difference between the spiral and polycentric stays?
The flexible spiral stays provide lighter side reinforcement. The polycentric stays provide greater medial and lateral structural support where additional MCL/LCL stability is required.

Are both types of stays included?
Yes. Current product information states that both flexible spiral stays and polycentric stays are supplied so the level of side support can be adapted.

That one is worth having because the gallery already shows them and it helps justify the price.

What is the difference between the Open and Closed Knee versions?
The Open Knee version has a patella cut-out with a soft silicone support ring. The Closed Knee version provides continuous material across the kneecap and uses removable C-shaped buttresses for configurable patella control.

Which version should I choose?
The Open Knee may be preferred where less material directly over the kneecap is wanted. The Closed Knee may suit someone who prefers continuous anterior compression or needs the configurable C-shaped buttress system.

Can I change the level of side support?
Yes. The interchangeable stays allow the brace to be configured with lighter flexible reinforcement or more structured polycentric medial and lateral support.

How tight should it feel?
The straps should provide secure compression without causing pain, numbness, tingling or excessive pressure. Increasing strap tension does not necessarily improve patella control.

Can it be worn on either knee?
Yes. The brace is bilateral and can be worn on either the left or right knee.

How do I choose the correct size?
Measure the thigh 10 cm above the knee and select the corresponding size from the product table.

Can it be used during sport?
It may be suitable during selected activity where patella or collateral-ligament support is required. The appropriate level of support depends on the injury, stability of the knee and stage of rehabilitation.
