Product Description
The Key Features of This Torn Meniscus Knee Brace
This torn meniscus knee brace pairs hinges that permit extension and flexion control with a two-part design aimed at comfort as well as healing, with the result being a top if not the best knee brace for meniscus pain with an off-the-shelf price tag.
The hinge is a polycentric one that is easy to access and includes a condyle shell to protect it. The hinge and aluminum uprights allow flexion and extension control so one can set the brace for torn meniscus treatment to allow the knee to bend 0°, 15°, 30°, 60° or 90°, for example.

To apply the brace for a medial or lateral meniscus tear, one pulls the lower sleeve portion of the brace up the calf, centers the open patella area on the knee, and then closes the upper wrap portion of the brace at the thigh. Finger loops help with application, and there are four fastener strap closures for a secure fit and easy adjustment.
The heavy-duty support is surprisingly comfortable and lightweight, adding to its appeal as the best knee brace for torn meniscus care. The neoprene material of which the brace is made is will keep your knee warm to decrease pain.
There are a number of conditions besides meniscus tears where the compression, support and range-of-motion control (ROM) this knee brace offers might be helpful. Some of these include the following:
- Knee sprains and strains
- Medial/Lateral Instability
- Weak or injured knee ligaments or muscles
- Degenerative joint disease of the knee
