Knee orthosis.
Open knee supports are fastened by overlapping and attaching the two flaps so that they do not need to be pulled on over the foot.
Even easier to put on and more comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time. Even more breathable, stronger, and softer thanks to the special flocking on the BreathSkill fabric.
Because the healing process is easier when you feel good and comfortable.
