The McDavid
Ligament Knee Support offers improved knee stability owing to the support
provided by superior horseshoe buttresses, along with medial and lateral stays
that reinforce the brace on either side of the knee joint. Held firmly in place
by two Velcro straps and four elastic crossing straps, the knee support's 4mm
Neoprene fabric offers a superior combination of support, compression and heat
retention, which eases knee pain and swelling around the knee.

Editorial Reviews
This neoprene knee brace
with steel stays provides a high level of support, extra long compression
sleeve, and fits either the right or left knee. The neoprene material is 0.1875
inches thick, for therapeutic heat retention and soft tissue compression, while
two-sided nylon construction ensures long-lasting durability. A padded
buttress, two medial, and two lateral stays create solid joint stabilization.
Two Velcro straps and four elastic crossing straps provide additional ligament
support, and a newly redesigned wide back allows for increased mobility and
ease of motion.
