Knee Brace Meniscus Tear Support For Arthritis Acl, Mcl Pain Patented 4-way Adjustable Wraparound Strap Dual Side Stabilizer For Patella Stability Size [medium]

I found this to be an excellent knee brace. Very supportive yet comfortable and very adjustable. Superior to others I've tried. Let me also note I have knee surgery scheduled, yet this brace has allowed me to function without undue pain and great support, Highly recommend!

Good support and quality. This brace stays fastened and is quite comfortable.

Brace fits good and provides decent temporary support. The back sleeve is comfortable, but has a tendency to roll, so wearers will need to adjust it from time to time

I have dislocated my kneecap hundreds of times since the original injury and severe dislocation 21 years ago. I realize this sounds insane and like no one would just keep popping their patella back into place every time it goes out for 21 years, never seeking further medical attention for the issue, especially as it continued to happen with increasing frequency. It's now at the point where it pops out at least once every month or two. Well, I have never claimed to be sane, and in my defense, the doctor I saw for the original injury said that I dislocated it so hard that it left permanent grooves in the cartilage underneath, and because of that, they would act as tracks and it would just keep dislocating, but there was nothing to be done for it. If you are wondering why I didn't seek a second opinion, it's because he was the second opinion...Anyway, on to the brace... My knee has finally gotten so bad that I can't let it go any longer and am going to see an orthopedist again. I'm pretty sure the soft tissue is so damaged that it's virtually useless. I have tried almost every style of brace on the market (except the really expensive ones), and none of them have offered enough support in the right places and been comfortable to wear for any period of time... But then I found THIS brace!! I hadn't even realized how much pain my knee was constantly in until I put this brace on!1) The inner silky sleeve which protects your leg from rubbing on the outer fabric, and is also breathable and moisture wicking is a complete game changer! One would think such a small detail would be insignificant, but in terms of comfort and wearability it makes all the difference in the world!2) The outer fabric is thinner and more light weight than most neoprene braces, making it more slim and comfortable, while still providing good compression and support. Also, the entire outside can be used to stick the velcro to, thus allowing you to position the straps exactly where you need them to be for optimal support.3) The 2 extra patella support bands are AMAZING!!! They work far better than I ever could have imagined at keeping everything in alignment, and applying just enough pressure to give stability and relieve pain, without being too tight or uncomfortable, as they are fully adjustable.4) The side supports are great! They definitely offer necessary added stability. The brace does limit your range of motion some, but that's really the whole point of a brace, since too great of movements will only lead to further injury and damage of an already weak or hurt area.Hands down, this the the absolute best brace ever!!! The price isn't much higher than your generic designs, and it is well worth it! (Also, I visited the retailers store and received a 25% off coupon to use on Amazon for any of their products, so that was helpful). But even at full price it's worth it. No other brace is designed quite as well, or offers the special features this one does. Plus, it is from a small business in the UK, designed by a guy determined to make a brace which would assist him with his own knee problems. The thought and care that went into making it is really evident, from construction to fit and function. It also comes with a 12 month warranty, and they send a paper with their contact info encouraging anyone who has an issue for any reason to contact them for resolution. They seem to be a good company who truly cares about their products and helping people. I very highly recommend that anyone with knee issues get this brace.The only suggestion I would make is for them to also make this in a plus sized version. Last year a medication I was put on caused A LOT of very rapid weight gain. Happily, stopping the med has reversed the process. But, had I tried to get this brace last year, it would not have fit my leg. Heavier people tend to have more joint problems, but there is a serious lack of good, affordable plus sized options of braces. I strongly encourage this company to fill that need. I am going to write to them regarding this issue. If you get this brace, or if you are a plus sized person whom this brace will not fit, I suggest that you also write to the company regarding this issue. I'm sure if enough people do it they will see there is a need and will work to fill it.Thank you for reading my long winded review. I hope you found it to be helpful.Once more for good measure... BUY THIS BRACE!!! (you won't regret it).Namaste.

Any product that someone gets paid (or gets a discount) to review, I view as advertising, and as such take 1-star off but, having said that, the EXOUS knee brace had almost 80% 5-star ratings which was impressive, beaten out by one other I looked at, the ULTRAFLEX which had over 90% 5-star ratings. So, when my right knee started to hurt (the inside part) after running 5K's, I decided to buy both (paid full price, $30 and $20, respectively) and try em out.The ULTRAFLEX arrived first, so I tried it on. It is made of a nice material, soft to the touch, and you do not feel like you have anything on. It goes on real easy, and once on, it stays on without slipping or curling at the edges due to a band at the inside top, which seems to grip onto your thigh. It goes on easy under jeans or pants, and is completely unobtrusive. If you don't remember to take it off, you will go to bed with it! It does a fairly good job of eliminating my knee pain but I could still feel the ache/soreness of my knee. Although going up/down stairs was easy, there was still that twinge of pain. On a 10-point scale of easing the knee pain, I would give it a 9. I have NOT gone running 5K with this, so when I do, I will update my experience here.UPDATE: 9/17/17--a full year of use, and I almost religiously run 5K every Sunday (weather and travel-schedule permitting) with this on my left knee. I am just amazed how good this has held up--the material still looks like and performs like new. It did feel like it was slipping, but I wear it slightly higher now, and I can tell you, it does not slip and grips your thigh really well. My knee actually feels better after my 5K run, than before--go figure!The EXOUS came the next day, so decided to put it on. Required a little effort, but after watching Meredith's (one of the paid reviewers here) video, was able to. This is definitely a more sturdy brace and so doesn't feel as unobtrusive. The material feels comfortable and soft to the touch. The straps are long and there's plenty of velcro, so it goes on and stays on (for now, at least). It does squeeze your knee-area a bit (if you get it on snug), so you do feel you are wearing it. But the amazing part is that the knee pain is almost entirely gone! I have been running up/down stairs to test it out and I do not feel any pain--on a scale of 10, this is a near perfect 9.9 for pain relief. I plan to go running with this on, and will update here my experience (also, how the velcro holds up over time).UPDATE 9/17/17--I have been using the EXOUS on my right knee for my 5K runs every Sunday, and this is the 1st year anniversary. I can honestly say that I am more pleased with this brace today than a year ago! The velcro holds up well and is still like-new, not slipping or coming off, and once you get the hang of putting the brace on, it goes on in 30 seconds. My knee feels fresh after my 5K run, can't describe it any better! However, between this and the more simpler designed Ultra-flex that I use on my left knee, I can NOT tell any difference--and the EXOUS is 50% more expensive! The only advantage I see with EXOUS is the fact that the straps allow you to tighten or loosen as required, but if you are on a budget, I would stay with the Ultra-flex. Happy running, Boomers!!!Biggest negative with both products--they are Made in China.UPDATE 6/4/2018--despite my dislike of anything MADE IN CHINA, I just ordered another EXOUS for my other knee (which I was using the UltraFlex for, which is pretty good for the price, but not as good as the EXOUS). This brace is head-and-shoulder better than any of the other braces have tried. My knee pain is a thing of the past.

Was psyched, not anymore. Used in recovery from torn knee miniscus. We live at the coast, I've quickly learned velcro strap does stay attached in salt water after only 4 uses. It tries, but mostly lost it's velcroicity. Hopefully wife can install a snap or stitch something so velcro strap doesn't undo when need it most. And yes it's properly fit...velcro not overlight tight or loose.

This product is very good. I have 2 very bad knees and I don’t know which one will be the worst from one day to the next. I also have a part time retirement job that requires me to be on my feet for long periods of time. I have tried bigger bulkier braces but they are too heavy and restricting. I have also tried a very light 2 strap brace, which helps but doesn’t have a lot of support. After a week of owning this brace I am very happy. It it light enough to wear for long periods but it provides excellent support. As soon as one knee stars hurting I put on this brace and the pain goes away immediately.This is an excellent product and I would highly recommend it.
