Product description
Open Patella Knee Support is a precision-designed orthopaedic brace that addresses one of the most clinically challenging areas of the musculoskeletal system—the knee joint.
The defining feature of this product is its open-patella aperture: a carefully dimensioned oval opening centred over the kneecap that reduces direct pressure on the patella while providing firm circumferential compression to the surrounding joint structures.
This design is clinically significant because many knee conditions—including patellofemoral pain syndrome, chondromalacia patellae, and patellar tendinopathy—are aggravated by direct pressure on the kneecap.
By relieving this pressure while simultaneously stabilising the surrounding soft tissues, the open patella design allows patients to be active without exacerbating their condition.
The brace is constructed from a high-grade elastic blend with integrated silicone or foam padding around the patellar aperture to further cushion and guide patellar tracking.
Lateral steel or flexible plastic spring stays are optionally incorporated to provide additional mediolateral stability, making the support suitable for patients with mild to moderate collateral ligament laxity or post-meniscal repair rehabilitation.
Clinical indications for the Alixor Open Patella Knee Support include knee osteoarthritis, patellofemoral syndrome, patellar dislocation history, post-ACL reconstruction, Baker’s cyst, iliotibial band syndrome, and general knee pain in active individuals and the elderly.
It is also widely used in sports medicine as a performance support for athletes in high-impact disciplines such as running, football, basketball, and skiing.
The breathable knitted fabric ensures all-day comfort and minimal heat retention.
Adjustable Velcro or slip-on closure options are available to accommodate different preferences and clinical requirements.
The product is offered in sizes XS to XXL based on mid-patella circumference measurements.
Key Features: Open-patella aperture for patellar pressure relief; circumferential knee joint compression; silicone/foam patellar ring cushioning; optional lateral spring stays; breathable knitted fabric; available in XS–XXL; indicated for patellofemoral syndrome, OA, ligament injuries, and post-operative use; suitable for sports and everyday clinical wear.
