Big Knee Brace for Large Legs with Patella Support

Why You Need This Orthopedic Knee Brace for Large Thighs

Knee pain is a relatively common phenomenon that is even more prominent among those struggling with obesity. Each pound of body weight puts five pounds of force on your knee. Therefore, it is easy to understand why being overweight or obese can lead to or accelerate knee problems and pain. Unfortunately, this knee pain can prevent obese people from living a more active lifestyle, making weight loss even more difficult.

For this reason, BraceAbility is happy to offer this plus-size knee support that comes in a variety of sizes as large as an XXXXL knee brace, which fits leg circumferences up to 31 inches. Plus, you’ll pay the same affordable price for the size 3XL or 4XL, as you would purchasing a medium or large knee brace! See more bariatric braces and supports.

BraceAbility’s plus size knee sleeve for large legs was designed to protect your knee from future injuries, alleviate your knee pain, and provide comfortable support to your knees.

This knee brace can help treat many causes of knee pain and knee conditions including:

• Knee arthritis (knee osteoarthritis)

• Meniscus tears

• Grade I collateral ligament sprain

• Patellar subluxation

• Chondromalacia

• Patellar tendonitis

• Patellofemoral tracking dysfunction

• Patellar dislocation

• Plica syndrome

5 Reasons Why You'll Love This Plus Size Knee Support for Big Legs

This neoprene knee brace is one of BraceAbility’s best and most popular knee supports thanks to several innovative features, which allow overweight patients to enjoy a more active, pain-free lifestyle, in addition to protecting their knee against injury.

1. Comfortable, Open-Patella Design

   With an opening around your patella (kneecap), this extra large knee support is more flexible and breathable than solid knee sleeves or ACE bandage wrap. The open patella design also eliminates pressure over your sore or swollen kneecap, making it comfortable for all-day wear.

2. Made out of a Soothing, Premium-Grade Neoprene Material

   The material of this bariatric knee stabilizer is also comfortable against your skin. Plus, the flexible material and lightweight fit make it easy for you to move about and engage in light physical activity while wearing this comfortable knee support for obesity. 

3. Reduces Swelling and Promotes Healing

   This neoprene fabric provides warmth and moderate elastic compression to your sore knee, which reduces swelling and encourages blood flow to speed up your recovery process. View more of our neoprene knee braces.

   Plus, at only 13” long and 3/16” thick, this discreet black knee sleeve is not too flashy and flat enough to fit under ordinary pants, such as jeans, but still thick enough to provide the necessary amount of compression and support.

4. Customizable Tubular Buttress and Spiral Stays

   This extra-large knee brace features a sewn-in, tubular buttress. The solid tubular buttress encircles your entire kneecap, promoting proper patellar tracking and movement. However, you can also trim the buttress for customizable support over, under, or on either side of your kneecap, if desired. Learn more about why you might be experiencing anterior, posterior, medial, or lateral knee pain.

   In addition, aluminum spiral stays are located on the medial (inside) and lateral (outside) sides of your knee to help provide stability. These stays reduce pressure on your kneecap and improve patellar tracking, which helps treat conditions such as patella instability, patellar subluxation, and kneecap dislocation.

5. Easily Adjustable Pressure Straps

   Two adjustable pressure straps located above and below your kneecap prevent your knee brace for thick quads from slipping around or sliding down.

   As an added bonus, the Velcro closures found on these straps is medical-grade, making it 10 times stronger than the standard, retail-grade Velcro you will find on other braces purchased at Walgreens, Target, or other online retailers, for example.
