The Liner That Makes Your Knee Brace Actually Comfortable to Wear All Day Rigid and hinged knee braces do an excellent job of protecting and stabilizing the knee — but worn directly against bare skin, the edge of a frame, a strap, or a hinge can cause rubbing, chafing, and pressure marks that make wearing your brace genuinely unpleasant by mid-afternoon. The medi Knee Brace Undersleeve solves this simply: a thin, soft medical-grade liner that sits between your skin and the brace, eliminating friction, preventing irritation, and staying in place all day thanks to a silicone bead top band. Compatible with any framed knee brace. Product Details Support Level: Supportive (Liner) Best For: • Anyone who wears a rigid or hinged knee brace and experiences skin irritation or chafing • Long-term post-surgical brace wearers who spend hours in their orthosis daily • People who find the inside of a knee brace uncomfortably warm or sweaty • Keeping a rigid knee brace from sliding down the leg during activity • Protecting skin from strap and frame edge pressure during rehabilitation Why the Knee Brace Undersleeve Works Stops Chafing Before It Starts The liner sits between your skin and every part of the brace that moves — the frame edges, the strap ends, the hinge mechanisms. The soft, smooth fabric surface creates a protective layer that eliminates the friction that turns a full day in a rigid brace into something you dread by lunchtime. Silicone Bead Band Keeps It Exactly Where You Put It A bead of silicone runs around the top edge of the liner, gripping the thigh gently and preventing the sleeve from creeping down inside the brace as you move. No midday adjustments. No bunching under the hinge. It goes on, stays put, and does its job quietly all day. Medical-Grade, Latex-Free Fabric Made from the same class of medical-grade knit used in medi's clinical orthopedic products — durable, breathable, and latex-free for anyone with skin sensitivities. Thin enough not to affect the fit of the overlying brace, soft enough to be comfortable against post-surgical or sensitive skin. Works With Any Framed Knee Brace Whether you're wearing the Protect.4 Evo, the Protect.ST, the Protect.CO, a Genumedi Pro, or any other rigid or semi-rigid knee orthosis, the undersleeve works as a universal liner. It's sized to fit under framed braces without adding bulk or changing how the brace fits over the knee. Built for Your Active Life Ideal activities while wearing: • All-day brace wear during post-surgical rehabilitation • Work shifts where a rigid knee brace is worn for 8+ hours • Sports and activity where brace migration has been a problem • Physical therapy sessions in a framed knee orthosis • Any situation where your brace is uncomfortable against bare skin The undersleeve should be washed regularly — it's the layer closest to your skin and takes the moisture and warmth that would otherwise reach your brace. Machine washable. Is the Knee Brace Undersleeve Right for You?
