Pro-Tec X-Factor Knee Brace
Other products that may help
About Pro-Tec Athletics:
Founded in Los Angeles in 1991, Pro-Tec Athletics began with one product, the Pro-Tec Patellar knee tendon strap. Started by professional volleyball player Jeff Rodgers, the company rapidly grew, and today is located in Redmond, Washington, and offers more than 25 products, ranging from highly effective orthopedic supports to breakthrough innovations in cryotherapy.
In addition to success in the volleyball and running markets, Pro-Tec Athletics benefits a wide range of sporting goods and sports medicine markets, including, but not limited to soccer, basketball, schools, athletic trainers, physical therapy, podiatry, orthopedic and chiropractic clinics.
This new knee support from Pro-Tec Athletics in the USA, provides knee support, compression and stability for knee injuries; including patello-femoral pain and moderate ligament tears. It may also provide appropriate support for a meniscus tear.
While the X-Factor does not provide as much stability as a "hinged knee brace", it provides more support and stability than most sleeves and wraps. We suggest you check with your doctor for the correct knee brace for your condition.
How it Works:
The X-Factor knee brace stabilizes the knee joint area, helping to prevent further injury. It contains an infrapatellar buttress to support the patella and help improve patellar tracking. Medial and lateral spiral stays provide additional stability to the ligaments of the knee joint. The brace includes an extra support in the shape of a horseshoe, that sits at the base of the knee cap.
Design Theory behind The X-Factor:
The neoprene wrap is open behind the knee for greater comfort, and its unique design offers a smaller, second layer of neoprene to provide a custom fit and allow user to control amount of compression. Spiral stays and infrapatellar buttress also provide additional support.
Size:
It comes in a Regular or Extra Large sizes which seem to meet the needs of most of us.
Regular: less than 48cm (19") circumference
Extra Large: 48-60cm (19-24") circumference
(circumference measured approx 7cm above the patella)
Washing Instructions:
Rinse in warm water. Drip dry. Pro-Tec Athletics does recommend rinsing this brace after each use to remove body salt.
