The Thermoskin Standard Knee Support is anatomically designed 3-piece knee support which provides protection and support against general wear and tear including knee sprains, knee strains and weakened knees.
Thermoskin Thermal Supports utilize the exclusive patented Trioxon® lining that is clinically proven to capture your natural body heat. Unlike other products, Trioxon allows your skin to ventilate and remain comfortably dry even with long-term use. Competitive products trap the perspiration resulting in discomfort, slippage, risk of infection and unpleasant odor. The Trioxon lining creates a microclimate to help the skin breathe while still providing effective heat therapy. This is the secret of Thermoskins long-term comfort for the user. You can even wear Thermoskin for extended periods of time without the discomfort you would have with other products.
How Thermoskin works: The application of prolonged heat therapy to the effected area is a simple and quick form of treatment. Heat therapy promotes healing by opening up the small blood vessels, increasing blood flow and facilitating the removal of inflammation. Heat therapy assists your bodys natural healing process. The combination of this heat therapy along with the support and light compression provided by Thermoskin Thermal Supports help prevent, treat and rehabilitate soft tissue injuries.

Heavy-duty Neoprene design allows for complete adjustment of the compression and size around the injury. Measure circumference 3 inches above the knee cap for proper size. Recommend size Small/Medium for under 16 inches. Large/X-Large for over 16 inches.

Active support for relief and stabilization of the knee Features Lower compression at the edges produces a gradual reduction in pressure at both ends of the support. The anatomically contoured knit isbreathable and stretched by spiral stays on the sides of the support. A circular viscoelastic insert surrounds the patella and facilitates correct positioning of the support. Special knitting techniques make the support extremely comfortable to wear, including behind the knee. Mode of action Knee activity moves the padded ring, thereby massaging the parapatellar soft tissue structures. The compression and massage effects accelerate the reabsorption of edema and effusions. Stimulation of the proprioceptors by the support has a positive effect on the sensorimotor system and thus on muscle control. The pad redistributes the pressure away from the patella to the surrounding soft tissues.

The Spiral Stay Compression Support Knee Brace uses our special 4-way stretch elastic sleeve to provide compression and support. There is a 10 inch spiral stays sewn onto each side of the brace. The stays provide additional support to the knee while preventing the support from rolling at the top and bottom. The stays also help to maintain correct positioining of the support. The stays are sewn on with special equipment that eliminates a hard seam on the inside of the brace. Using our advanced knitting technology we make a 12-inch long elastic sleeve that is contoured to match the shape and bend of the leg. We also computer control the tension of the elastic in the production process to provide graduated compression which can help blood flow. In addition to function we focused on comfort. This brace is free of seams on the inside of the sleeve and made with a special knit pattern over the patella. This increases stretch vertical over the patella while helping to reduce bunching at the back of the knee when the leg is in the bent position.

Cho-Pats Patellar Stabilizer improves patellar tracking resulting in less knee degeneration, inflammation, and pain. It functions dynamically because the fabric-covered neoprene material applies constant pressure to the joint providing effective symptomatic relief of acute and chronic pain associated with patellar tendonitis, arthritis, and overuse syndromes. In addition, the Stabilizer has four enclosed firm plastic tubes acting as buttresses around the kneecap to reduce patellar subluxation and degeneration. The Patellar Stabilizer allows for full mobility of the knee joint while improving lateral and medial support for weak and arthritic knees.
