Sporlastic KASSELER PATELLAR TENDON Knee Support

$75.00

The KASSELER PATELLAR TENDON SUPPORT is a highly effective proprioception (your body's sense of where it is in space) support for professional and everyday use.

The finely nopped proprioception pad contains a recess in the patella tip. The anatomically shaped reins ensure high wearing comfort.

Is this the right one for you?

Choose this if the pain is at the front, around or just below the kneecap — worst on stairs, squatting or after sitting.

Everyday ache or swelling? Sporlastic GENU-HiT Knee Support is a lighter compression support.

Knee gives way or shifts? Sporlastic GENU-HiT GS Knee Brace adds hinges for side-to-side stability.

Not suitable for: allergic, inflamed or injury-related skin changes over the area it covers (for example swelling or redness); impaired circulation or lymphatic soft-tissue swelling; nerve-related disturbance of sensation or of skin nourishment (trophism) in that area, with or without damage to the skin; post-thrombotic syndrome — Sporlastic says to wear it in that case only together with made-to-measure compression stockings.

This support may not be covered. It contains a finely bobbled proprioception pad with a cut-out for the patellar tip, anatomically shaped fabric straps, and a deflection eyelet for stepless pad-pressure adjustment. No manufacturer or distributor source describes it as containing rigid or semi-rigid bracing, which is what plans look for in a brace, so it is not automatically eligible. Some Canadian extended health benefit plans (e.g. Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada) still reimburse it when accompanied by a valid prescription from your physician or nurse practitioner.

No charge, and it's not an order.

Wash the KASSELER PATELLAR TENDON SUPPORT gently in lukewarm (30 °C) water with mild detergent and air dry
Do not dry it in the tumble dryer, on the heater or in the microwave
Before washing the KASSELER PATELLAR TENDON SUPPORT, remove the fastened silicone pad and close the hook-and-loop fastener of the support; this prevents damage to other items of clothing

Sporlastic prints these steps in the instructions for use supplied with the product.

The KASSELER PATELLAR TENDON SUPPORT can be worn on the left or right side.
When correctly fitted, the recesses on the support point upwards.
The centre of the nubbed silicone pad should rest directly on the patellar ligament below the kneecap.
Place the support with the pad on the stretched leg and tighten with a slight pull.
The support should fit without slipping and should feel comfortable to wear.
If the support feels too tight after a while, open it and let it out by 1-2 mm in circumference. Check the fit again over some time and adjust if necessary until the ideal fit is achieved. You will be able to set the ideal fit more and more confidently as you wear it.
Depending on the physical activity (office, sports, hiking, etc.), the extent of the musculature changes. The support should then be readjusted individually.
The neoprene used in the Active version, and its lack of a strap eyelet, also allow it to be used for rehabilitation in water or for exercises with ground contact.
