Lightweight and low profile for comfort. Our BioSkin Hinged Knee Skin is one of the lightest hinged knee braces available. The offset, bicentric hinges conform to the shape of the leg and provide extra support to knees with ligament damage. The Hinged Knee Skin provides excellent compression to control swelling and pain caused from a meniscus tear or an LCL or MCL injury, and to speed up the healing process in a damaged knee joint.
The new BioSkin Hinged Knee Skin incorporates bi-centric aluminium hinges that provide additional support to the knee. The brace also offers an extremely thin profile, with 1.5mm uprights.
The brace uses the original BioSkin tri-laminate material, Ultima. Ultima is amazingly thin and provides high level compression with powerful Lycra and a polyurethane film. The film permits perspiration evaporation and therefore facilitates the body’s natural temperature regulation system. Like all BioSkin materials, Ultima is hypo allergenic and 100% neoprene and latex free.
As with all BioSkin braces, the effectiveness of the BioSkin Hinged Knee Skin knee brace is enhanced by the the SkinLokโข feature. This increases adherence to the skin in the presence of perspiration, thus reducing slippage during periods of intense physical activity. With the brace remaining firmly in its intended position, the Hinged Knee Skin knee brace will continue to be effective in reducing pain and promoting healing while your patients pursue their normal activities.
