DESCRIPTION

Thuasne sport reinforced knee ligament support

The Thuasne sport reinforced knee brace is designed to stabilise knee ligaments during sports (e.g. football, running, skiing, etc.) or to prevent ligament injuries. The anatomically-shaped knitted fabric is reinforced by two rigid uprights articulated on either side of the knee, and the brace is held in place on the leg by three horizontal straps. The kneepad also includes a fine, flexible mesh in the hollow of the knee (popliteal), as well as a patellar insert to support the kneecap.
