OA Unloader Knee Brace, Osteoarthritis Adjustable ROM Stabilizing Protection and Recovery from Load Reduction Arthritis Cartilage Repair Joint Pain Medial or Lateral Degeneration (Black, Left)

Purchased for my girlfriend after she tore her meniscus and damaged her ACL. Her surgery was set out for several weeks. After putting it on she was so happy it reduced the pain and stress on the knee for her. She is now able to power through work days in the medical field with the brace.She is 5’5’’ 125lbs all the straps were all too long but had a cool way to adjust them for her smaller size and now it fits perfectly. However I do suggest also buying a knee brace sleeve with it because how tight you need to wear it and it bothered her overtime throughout a work day. Now she has the brace and sleeve she can’t be stopped.She is still working and going to the gym working on things she can do until her surgery date comes.

We bought this for my husband- he's got bone on bone action in his knee, it's unstable and he has been unable to walk even short distances without pain and leg fatigue.This brace has helped him tremendously! He feels steady, his leg doesn't tire as easily and he can walk a lot farther with the brace on.The brace fits nicely under his pants and is secure without cutting off circulation. Two thumbs up!

Purchased this brace Friday before Memorial Day. Starting wearing it that Sunday, for now 2 weeks and about 6 hours a day.. June 9, I have discovered a serious skin irritation in the exact design of the silicone “non-slip” padding on these straps.. This rash is on day 3 now and worse than previously discovered.. I contacted the Komzer site for assistance on this issue but only response was to “send my order number” for a refund..This does not explain this very serious skin irritation which can only be caused by one feature of this product, the silicone that is being used which either burned my skin or caused me to have a very serious allergic reaction… cortisone has not helped to calm it down.. After reading reviews for a good brace, I am extremely disappointed.. No where does it even mention this could cause a bad skin irritation..As for The brace itself was so comfortable and fit well, but this skin irritation is unexpected since I’ve never had an issue with Don Joy or Breg braces from past ACL surgeries..My review here is real and in my own experiences, the brace is a quality brace and comfortable, however it will and could cause burning to your skin or a major skin irritation from the Silicone used on the pads..

I've got bad knees and have tried all types of knee wraps/brace, but was not aware of this type of knee brace until I saw a video of it on-line so I decided to order one. Putting this on wasn't too bad, but I suggest using a sleeve before using this for more than a few hours. There are cushions that go underneath the straps that's supposed to help prevent irratation, but there are wavy designs on the custions. I had mine on for about 10 hours and when I took off the brace, the cushion left red welts on my leg and has not gone away even after three weeks. Use a sleeve if you can.The brace isn't very heavy, but it's not going to really matter once you start walking with it on. The fit was very good and even without a sleeve, the brace stayed in place all day. For the price I paid for the brace it was built okay. There is a hex screw that you need to adjust depending on what kind of damage you have on your knee. The metal on the hex screw seems to be a little soft as when I was ajusting the pad that goes in and out by the knee, the screw kept slipping as if it was getting stripped.Now on to whether or not this thing helped. For the price, I expected it to take some of the stress/pressure off the inside of my knee (torn meniscus). Seeing multiple videos of this brace in action, I expected the adjustable pad to push into my knee to remove some of the pressue from the inside knee. Well, it didn't do that. The pad barely touched my knee, even with turning the hex screw as far as it could go. I couldn't tell any difference between using this unloader brace from my other braces. For the money, I don't think it was worth it.However, the thing I do like about this compared to other braces is that it does a good job with controlling the side to side movement and there is nothing pressing against the meniscus. I have a couple braces that have the metal side support that slides into the the brace. The problem with those braces is once I strap them in place, the metal sides on the inside of my knee sometimes presses up against the meniscus, and when that happens it's instant pain. With this brace you won't have that issue which is probably the main reason why I like this brace over the other.If you're thinking about getting this brace I suggest checking out the videos on-line. There are many that talk this brace up, but there are some that go over the "not so good" about these braces.

Well constructed. Did not use because wife could not handle the bulkyness.

I have two of these braces, one for each knee. They're designed to take pressure off the damaged parts of my knees and they have been doing that. (I am a 75 year-old pickleball player.) This would be a five-star review except:The instructions for installing the metal pieces that limit your motion (an important feature) are scant. By removing one screw, the piece can be taken out and replaced with one that better fits your needs.The velcro on the straps is somehow super-sticky. Seems I have to fight with it every time I put the braces on or take them off.Those minor complaints aside, the braces have been working perfectly for me for several months.
