Model:

The Bledsoe Sport Max Patellofemoral Knee Brace is designed for very mild meniscal and/or collateral injuries. Patients with minor knee ligament strains and stretches or meniscal damage can benefit from added support to prevent more serious injury. Sport Max may also be appropriate for combined instabilities involving stretched cruciate ligaments.

Features:

• durable neoprene sleeve and pull tabs for easy "pull on" application and comfort.
• The Front Closure version features a wrap around front closure style which allows easier application and adjustable tension.
• dual offset hinge with straps and a durable neoprene. The surface contact area of the neoprene provides warmth to the injured area as well as biofeedback to enhance proprioception and joint position sense.
• Sport Max provides added support through the three-point leverage of the straps and hinge.

Indications: This device is indicated for mild sprains of the medial or lateral collateral ligaments, mild injuries of the menisci, or mild injuries to the patellar retinaculum, to provide increased support, compression and warmth, and aid in proprioception.

Patellar Buttress - Indicated to help control patellar tracking and aid proprioception.

This device is contraindicated for injured or reconstructed knees that have moderate to severe instability.

Sizing: Measure the thigh circumference 6" (15 cm) above the knee. Round measurements to the nearest 1/2" (1 cm) increment. For example, 19-3/8" (49.1 cm) would be entered as 19-1/2" (49.5 cm). Using this rounded measurement, select the appropriate size from the following sizes:

• XS = Thigh 15"-17.5" (38-44.5 cm)
• S = Thigh 17.5"-20" (44.5-51 cm)
• M = Thigh 20"-22.5" (51-57 cm)
• L = Thigh 22.5"-25" (57-63.5 cm)
• XL = Thigh 25-27.5" (63.5-69.5 cm)
