The low profile Thermal Vent Adjustable Knee Stabilizer is designed to support weakened knees and help relieve aches, pain, strains, sprains. The integrated flexible stays provide medial and lateral knee support. The comfortable support, gentle compression, and heat therapy help relieve knee pain and promote healing. The front opening does not cause pressure across the patella which helps prevent aggravation to injuries and helps reduce tenderness and bruising. The material is soft and comfortable against the skin; bilateral design fits right or left knee.
