Description
Thuasne Ligastrap Genu is a highly effective ligament knee brace with functional strapping and is recommended for the functional treatment of mild knee sprains and strains, to resume work or sporting activities after knee injury or for chronic hyperlaxity in the knee. The Ligastrap Genu features a double strapping system which crosses over the condyles for optimal knee stability. Compressive knit to provide a proprioceptive and analgesic effect on the knee. The Ligastrap provides patellar support with its strapping system that surrounds and holds the kneecap in place. Specific knitted zones and anatomically shaped ensures the Ligastrap Genu contours perfectly to your legs shape. The Ligastrap Genu straps do not slip over the knee cap or at the back of the knee as they are held securely in place using velcro. At the back of the knee the knit of the brace is a lot thinner to reduce bunching or pinching and to increase comfort whilst worn. The Ligastrap Genu is easy to fit and has attached, directed strapping for ease applying, adjusting and removing.
