Hinged Knee Cap

Knee brace with metal side hinges

METAL SIDE HINGE - A jointed hinge resists sideways movement at the knee while still allowing a natural bend, which a plain elastic sleeve cannot do.
TWIN ADJUSTABLE STRAPS - Buckle-and-hook straps above and below the joint let you set the fit at the thigh and calf independently and stop the brace sliding.
DESIGNED FOR LIGAMENT AND MENISCUS SUPPORT - Manufacturer lists mild to moderate ligament and meniscus support, including ACL, MCL and patellar stability.
FOR DAILY ACTIVITY AND SPORT - Intended for day-to-day wear as well as sport, per the manufacturer's carton.

About this product

The Mitsu Hinged Knee Cap is a strapped knee brace with a metal side hinge. The hinge is the reason to choose it over a compression sleeve: it allows the knee to bend and straighten normally while resisting sideways movement at the joint.

Two buckle-and-hook straps, one above and one below the knee, let the brace be tensioned separately at the thigh and the calf. That is how a hinged brace is kept from migrating down the leg during walking, which is the usual complaint with knee supports that rely on compression alone.

The manufacturer describes it as suitable for day-to-day activity and sport for people with mild to moderate ligament or meniscus issues, providing support to ligaments, tendons and the patella.

Important. a hinged brace is usually chosen for a specific diagnosis. If you have had a ligament or meniscus injury, have your doctor or physiotherapist confirm that this type of brace is right for you and show you how to position the hinge at the joint line.
