MUSCLE STRAIN + SPRAIN
AND HOW KNEE INTERFACES CAN HELP
WHY YOU NEED KNEE INTERFACE
Discomfort From a Leg Brace
Strains, sprains or other soft-tissue injuries to the leg are often treated by wearing a leg brace. Sometimes the brace may be used to avoid additional injury or prevent new injury, as well. The leg or knee brace must fit snugly against the skin, which can lead to irritation from repetitive rubbing of the brace on exposed skin.
HOW WE CAN HELP
Protect From Painful Rubbing and Irritation
A Knit-Rite Knee Interface provides protection from rubbing and irritation of the skin. Knee Interfaces are made of super soft material providing comfort. The fibers of the material are also moisture wicking, which helps to keep the skin dry and odor free. Knee Interfaces fit snugly against the skin, preventing wrinkling or bunching under the leg brace and causing additional irritation. Knee Interfaces also contain a mild amount of compression, which helps to decrease swelling.
