Short Description
Bio Skin's Gladiator provides ligament protection and patella control. Adjustable hinges for range of motion control. Available in open and closed patella styles.
The Bio Skin Gladiatorknee 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 knee brace utilizes a pivot-point lever lock strapping design for better stabilization of your knee with cutting and pivoting activities. The product 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.
