Alpha Medical Single Stay Compression Knee Brace with Open Patella

The Alpha Medical 1-Stay Compression Support Knee Brace uses our special 4-way stretch elastic sleeve to provide compression and support. The "cut out" at the kneecap helps reduce pressure on the knee cap while stabilizing the patella. There is one 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 positioning 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. The patella knit pattern increases vertical stretch while helping to reduce bunching at the back of the knee when the leg is in the bent position.
