OTC Orthotex Knee Stabilizer Wrap with Spiral Stays

The OTC brand (model 2542) Orthotex knee stabilizer wrap with spiral stays is made from Orthotex fabric, which is an open 3-dimensional knit that serves as a non-latex alternative to neoprene. This fabric offers breathability, elasticity, therapeutic compression, comfort, and heat control. It is less hot to wear than neoprene, making it suitable for long-term wear or wear in warm climates, and an ideal option for wearers who are allergic to or irritated by neoprene fabric. Additionally, it opens flat for easy application over tender knees.

The stabilizer provides excellent support with moderate medial-lateral stability, and includes a buttress pad that surrounds the kneecap for added support and stability. The upper and lower hook and loop encircling straps are adjustable and removable, and the universal design fits on either the left or right knee. The available color options include black.

This knee stabilizer can be used for sprains and strains, chondromalacia, osteoarthritis, and patellofemoral tracking. The bilateral spiral stays offer moderate side-to-side stability support and flex and extend naturally with the joint. The four-way stretch material provides even compression over the anatomical prominences of the joint, and the upper and lower hook-and-loop encircling straps maintain the stabilizer. These straps are also adjustable and removable.

Furthermore, the opening over the back of the knee minimizes binding and provides additional wearing comfort. Orthotex is presented as an alternative to neoprene, and all materials used in the stabilizer are completely latex-free. The breathable and comfortable nature of the fabric adds to the overall appeal of this product.
