Comfort and Adaptability: Anatomical Knitting and Bidirectional Elasticity
The anatomical knitting of the product is one of its most impressive features. Designed to adapt perfectly to any morphology, it provides unequaled comfort and support. Its bidirectional elasticity allows the product to stretch both widthwise and lengthwise, providing great flexibility and facilitating movement.
To increase comfort , a loose mesh has been provided at the level of the popliteal fossa, the back part of the knee. This feature allows better ventilation and avoids any feeling of tension or pressure that could bother the user.
The design of this product also includes a loose mesh on the patella, helping to prevent edema . Indeed, this specific design promotes adequate blood circulation , thus minimizing the risk of swelling and discomfort.
The model is bilateral, which means that it can be used indifferently on the right or left knee. This flexibility makes the product even more practical and adaptable .
Finally, it should be noted that the product does not contain latex . This specificity is essential for people allergic to this material. This means that anyone can use this product, without fear of possible allergic reactions.
