PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
The Push med patella brace applies local pressure on the hamstring and supports the patella. This relieves the insertion of the thigh muscle and reduces the tractive force on the lower leg.
The pad consists of a skin-compatible and elastic polymer. The synthetic bracing element underneath the pad ensures an even distribution of pressure.
A proper anatomic fit and the material of the pad contribute to the brace remaining in place during walking. The brace is made of Sympress(tm), a high-quality comfortable material. The use of microfibres makes the inside feel soft and keeps the skin dry.
The Push med patella brace is easy to apply and can be washed without any problem..
INDICATIONS
Patellofemoral pain syndrome
Tendinitis of the patella tendon
Jumper’s knee (apexitis patellae)
Osgood-Schlatter disease
Subluxation/hypermobility proximal tibiofibular joint
There are no known disorders where the brace cannot or should not be worn. In the case of poor blood circulation in the limbs, a brace may cause hyperaemia. Avoid applying the brace too tightly in the beginning.
Pain is always a sign of warning. If the pain persists or complaints deteriorate, it is advisable to consult your doctor or therapist.
DETERMINING SIZE / FITTING
The patella brace is available in 1 size. The measurements range from 28 to 45 centimetres.
Ensure that the pressure point of the brace (at the level of the logo) is located immediately underneath the kneecap.
Tension the adjustable band and close it.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
Before washing, close the Velcro to protect the brace and other laundry.
The brace can be washed at temperatures up to 30°C, on a delicate fabrics cycle or by hand. Do not use any bleaching agents.
A gentle spin-dry cycle can be used: after this, hang the brace up to dry in the open air (not near a heating source or in a tumble drier). To extend the brace’s service life, it should be dried after use, if necessary, before being stored.
