A short knee immobilizer is a lightweight, adjustable brace that stabilizes the knee for recovery from minor injuries (sprains, strains, dislocations) or post-surgery, featuring rigid stays (aluminum/steel) for support, soft breathable fabric for comfort, and hook-and-loop straps for a secure, customized fit, preventing excessive movement to promote healing while allowing easier daily activities.
Key Features
- Immobilization: Prevents bending and twisting of the knee joint, aiding recovery.
- Rigid Stays: Aluminum or steel splints on the sides provide firm support, often removable for customization.
- Adjustable Straps: Hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures ensure a snug, personalized fit.
- Breathable Fabric: Soft, skin-friendly materials (like foam, cotton, terry cloth) reduce irritation and allow airflow.
- Lightweight & Compact: Shorter design offers support without excessive bulk, making it comfortable for daily wear.
- Universal Fit: Often designed to be used on either the left or right knee.
Common Uses
- Post-surgery recovery (e.g., Total Knee Replacement, ACL repair).
- Ligament sprains, strains, and tendon injuries.
- Patellar (kneecap) dislocation.
