Gladiator Sport Knee Brace
The BioSkin Gladiator Sport Knee Brace (formerly known as the XT) is designed to provide protection and support for mild to moderate anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, lateral collateral and medial collateral ligament stability with its heavy hinge style. This model is uniquely constructed out of thin, breathable Ultima material which provides the same stretch characteristics of typical sport knee brace designs. The material keeps you cool and dry instead of trapping perspiration against the skin. The Gladiator Sport knee brace utilizes a pivot-point lever lock strapping design for better stabilization of your knee with cutting and pivoting activities. This sport knee brace features a polycentric hinge design which mimics the knee joint's natural movement. The easy flip top allows for easy range of motion adjustments with simply dropping a pin inside the desired range of motion setting inside the hinge. This version is 15" long and can be used for skiing, football, basketball and for recovery from serious ligament injuries of the knee.
"The BioSkin Gladiator Sport knee brace represents the next generation of lightweight, breathable products for patients and athletes!"

My Gladiator Sport knee brace has helped me return to sports following my knee sprain. The material is more breathable and allows the sweat to escape when I'm exercising. I appreciate the fact that you guys sell the entire BioSkin knee brace line - I'll definitely recommend you guys to everyone I know.
