The Knee Pro-Tec provides compression directly on the patellar tendon. This helps spread pressure uniformly across the patellar tendon, reducing discomfort and irritation. The Knee Pro-Tec is designed to alleviate symptoms of moderate knee pain (areas under and surrounding knee cap), Tendinitis, Chondromalacia, and Osgood-Schlatter’s Disease. Compression helps stabilize patella (knee cap), by improving tracking Absorbs stress to the knee by reducing vibrations in the femoral grove Velcro attaches in front of the knee rather than in the back to prevent chafing and discomfort Design allows for ease of compression adjustment Side loop design allows for leverage to get the right level of tightness and compression on knee Designed to be worn while you are walking or running to alleviate pain while being active Taped smooth edges improves durability
