EPITACT Knee brace PHYSIOSTRAP

Sport knee brace that relieves, supports and secures your knee as you resume sporting activities.

Indications for the EPITACT^® sports knee brace

The EPITACT^® sports knee support brace relieves or prevents patella disorders while playing sports. It is especially recommended for knee injuries like patellofemoral pain syndrome, instability, arthritis and tendonitis of the knee or fragile ligaments. It is adapted to any sports (hiking, running, tennis, football, swimming…).

Description of the PHYSIOstrap™ Sport knee support

The EPITACT^® sports knee support brace stabilises the kneecap and provides excellent knee support. This allows to prevent patella disorders in the long term or to relieve knee pain caused by patellofemoral pain syndrome or tendonitis. By securing your knee, it helps you to continue or recover your activities easily and serenely.

Some tests were performed with 94 athletes from the French National Institute for Sport, Expertise and Performance (INSEP) between 2015 and 2017. They showed the ability of PHYSIOstrap™ Sport to hold the kneecap aligned within the joint. After 10 uses, the feeling of stability was improved by more than 30%.

How does it work?

The effectiveness and comfort of the sports knee support are based on high-tech design and components:

The patented silicone tendon EPITHELIUMFLEX™ that improves knee support and stability by limiting the lateral deviations of the kneecap during movements.
The elastic silicone bands at both ends of the sports knee brace allow it to stay very well in place, even in water. It does not slip on the tight nor rides up on the calf.
A thin fabric with limited compression and sufficient elasticity. This perfect balance helps to support the knee joint during movements without restricting them. Another fabric, even more thin, has been included over the kneecap and behind the knee to not add pressure on the joint and avoid skin irritation.

Added advantages of the sports knee support brace by EPITACT^®

The solutions usually proposed are compression knee sleeves. But this kind of device is not suitable for sports because of the thick fabric likely to slip or to become irritating. The EPITACT^® knee support for sports provides comfort, effectiveness and practicality:

When and for how long should I wear my sports knee brace?

PHYSIOstrap® is a kneepad for athletes with patellar pathologies (patellar syndrome, tendonitis, osteoarthritis, etc.). It should therefore be put on just before your sporting activity, and should only be worn dynamically (in motion). It can therefore be used as a preventive measure or to relieve pain, as it preserves muscle capital. When you're not doing sport, you can wear the medical knee brace all day long for everyday activities.

How long does it last?

The Physiostrap® sports knee brace is made from hard-wearing fabric and high-quality materials, giving it an average lifespan of 6 months, provided you follow the instructions for use and care.

How to choose the right size?

Using a tape measure, measure the circumference of your knee in a semi-flexed position, starting from the center of the kneecap. Transfer the measurement to the size guide. If you hesitate between two sizes, choose the smaller one.
