Vive Hinged Knee Brace - Open Patella Support Wrap for Women, Men - Compression for ACL, MCL, Torn Meniscus Ligament and Tendonitis - for Running, Athletic Tear and Arthritis Joint (Black)

At last a sensibly designed, comfortable and sensibly priced knee support. I had a damaged Anterior Cruciate Ligament and parted medial ligament 40 years ago (skiing). Repaired then and kept going with pure muscle. Now the muscles are weakening, any damage is bery uncomfortable and results in adistrustworthy knee. I've only had this a short time but it has had an immediate affect on the mobility of the knee and made it much more comfortable and reliable. Thank you.

Great supporting brace especially for meniscus injuries very comfortablw and great support

This is a well made, good quality brace. As it's a wrap around type, it should fit all knees. It offers a good levels of support and stability. My only criticism is that the hinge on the inside of my knee (where my damaged ligament is) tends to slip sometimes and can be uncomfortable. With a little adjustment the problem is rectified. I have had more comfortable braces but this does offer good support

Well made. Very comfortable to wear and easy to wash. Rigid sides make it ideal for unstable knee joint.

Life saver. Doctors think I've possibly done ligament damage in my knee. Not to put weight on it, and walk with sticks. Well that was hard work. Any angle slightly out of line was excruciating. So decided to ask fellow sports people and friends advice on a support I could wear to keep my leg in line, but also be able to bend correctly within reason as to not hurt me anymore than I already am. Soon as this arrived I put it on..... miracle. Did exactly what I needed. Which was to give me support where needed. Yes still have crutches, but so much more confident wearing this. But just wish the pain would go when complete weight bearing. I'm so impatient. But Thankyou for a great piece of gear. I may feel like bionic woman, but not for long. Only down side I found was by the end of the day it gets a bit itchy. Not sure if the label is rubbing, or maybe the stitching from Velcro? Thinking of trying just a thin tubular bandage type thing underneath it to see if makes a difference.

This week I dislocated my kneecap, I'm in a splint but as you can imagine I'm nervous about walking without some support to stop it slipping out of place again once I'm out of the splint. I bought two and tried on on my better leg and its not supporting me at all, it's just tight. Its very loose around my actual knee. It's like tying a rope above and under my knee and then leaving the rest of my knee completely unsupported, I thought maybe I'd put it in wrong but no matter what I do its just not helping. And once you bend your leg with it on it just kinda scrunches up like a sock rolling down your leg. Very dissatisfied.

This gives a really good level of support due to the hinged "stays" (not sure what the proper word is) There is lots of adjustment to get a comfortable fit. It is surprisingly comfortable and you don't really notice that it is a hinged support. It increases confidence in walking and active working. As with all of these things it does get warm after a while, which is not always a bad thing. I am very happy with this purchase, which I have been using for approx. 8 months, it helped to keep me walking during lockdown.

Its a reasonable product which supports the knee but also allows you to bend the knee. As with all one fit - fits all its a compromise so I suspect a larger knee might find the side support in the wrong place
