Neoprene Knee Compression Sleeve - Swede-O Open Patella Knee Sleeve

The Swede-O Open Patella Knee Sleeve by Swede-O Core Products is an drug-free medical device that's designed to help prevent injuries to the knee by protecting and immobilizing. Not only does it help prevent injury, it boosts natural recovery-times, too!

The high-quality neoprene of the sleeve provides gentle yet firm compression and warmth to help reduce and relieve knee aches, strains, and pain. The soft yet firm padding around the patella opening actively reduces painful pressure that may aggravate a knee injury. Additionally, the padded patella opening of the knee sleeve is generally used to hold the patella in the proper place while the user stays active. This padding is especially ideal for dislocated patellas, knee arthritis, CMP (chondromalacia patella), and patellofemoral stress syndrome.

The neoprene material of the knee sleeve is soft and very comfortable against the skin, and is suitable for users of all skin sensitivity levels. The convenient bilateral design allows it to be worn on either knee interchangeably. This feature is especially useful, as it eliminates the need to purchase right or left specific support sleeves.

In using the knee sleeve, simply slip the foot into the wide opening like a sock, then continue to pull the support upward over the knee. The patella opening should sit directly over the kneecap, and the support should fit snugly and yet comfortably. Make sure you have the correct size, otherwise the knee sleeve may be too tight which can lead to discomfort and the possibility of cut-off circulation.
