The Procare Surround Patella Strap is a medical device designed to alleviate anterior knee pain caused by various conditions, including patellar tendonitis, chondromalacia, and Osgood Schlatter. This strap functions by applying targeted pressure to the patellar tendon, which can help reduce discomfort and promote improved knee function.
Relief for Anterior Knee Pain: The primary purpose of the Surround™ Patella Strap is to provide relief from anterior knee pain. It is particularly effective for conditions such as patellar tendonitis, chondromalacia, and Osgood Schlatter syndrome. By applying pressure to the patellar tendon, the strap can help reduce pain and discomfort associated with these conditions.
Soft and Latex-Free Construction: The primary body of the strap is constructed from a soft and latex-free nylon/foam laminate. This choice of materials ensures that the strap is gentle on the skin and comfortable to wear. The soft construction minimizes the risk of skin irritation.
Contact Closures: The strap features contact closures that allow for easy and secure fastening. This design enables users to adjust the strap to achieve a customized and comfortable fit. Contact closures are known for their convenience and reliability in medical devices.
Internal Bladder for Adjustable Compression: A significant feature of the Surround™ Patella Strap is its internal bladder. This bladder is encased within the body of the primary strap and can be adjusted to provide additional compression as needed. This adjustability allows users to fine-tune the level of pressure applied to the patellar tendon, ensuring a comfortable and effective fit.
Uniform Compression: The strap is designed to provide uniform compression across the patellar tendon. This is important because it helps ensure that pressure is evenly distributed, preventing discomfort and irritation at specific points on the knee. The uniform compression supports the tendon and reduces pain.
Customized Fit: Thanks to the adjustable bladder and contact closures, users can achieve a customized fit tailored to their specific needs. The strap can be adjusted to suit different body types and comfort preferences.
Prohibits Pressure Displacement: The Surround™ Patella Strap is engineered to prevent pressure from being displaced to bony prominences in the knee area. This design feature enhances user comfort and reduces the risk of pressure sores or discomfort in those areas.
- Effective Knee Support: By providing targeted compression and support to the patellar tendon, this strap helps stabilize the knee joint, reduce discomfort, and improve knee function.
