Description
Indications
Knee braces are commonly used to provide support and stability to the knee joint. They can be worn for several reasons, such as to prevent or recover from injuries, to alleviate pain, or to provide additional support during physical activities.
The Futuro Dual Knee Strap Support applies moderate pressure on injured knees and is suitable for intense workouts and marathon training. The Futuro Comfort Lift Knee Support is recommended to be replaced regularly, similar to running shoes, to ensure it provides the intended support.
This knee support brace is made of stretch lycra material and is advertised as a no-slip knee sleeve. It is designed to provide a full range of motion without rolling down, making it suitable for activities like hiking, working, running, and biking.
Use and Dosage
To use the Knee Brace Non-Roll by Futuro, follow these steps:
- Measure your knee: Before using the knee brace, measure around your leg, three inches above the kneecap, to ensure you select the correct size.
- Adjust the brace: Once you have the correct size, adjust the knee brace to fit your knee. The Futuro Knee Brace is adjustable and can be tightened or loosened based on your comfort level and support needs.
- Position the brace: Place the knee brace over your knee, ensuring that the center of the brace is aligned with the center of your kneecap. The knee brace should cover the entire knee area for maximum support.
- Secure the brace: Fasten the straps or closures on the knee brace to secure it in place. The Futuro Knee Brace is designed to stay in place and not roll down, providing stability and support during activities.
- Ensure comfort: Adjust the straps or closures as needed to achieve a comfortable fit. The knee brace should provide support without causing discomfort or restricting movement.
- Check for proper alignment: Once the knee brace is secured, ensure that it is properly aligned and centered over your knee. The brace should not be too tight or too loose, and it should not impede circulation or cause any discomfort.

Cautions
- Discomfort or irritation: Some individuals may experience discomfort or irritation when wearing a knee brace, especially if it is not properly fitted or if there is friction between the brace and the skin. Ensure a proper fit and adjust the brace as needed for comfort.
- Skin irritation or allergies: Prolonged use of a knee brace, particularly if it is made of materials that are not hypoallergenic, may lead to skin irritation or allergic reactions. If you have sensitive skin or known allergies, choose a knee brace made of suitable materials or consult with a healthcare professional.
- Restricted blood flow: Wearing a knee brace that is too tight or constrictive may restrict blood flow to the leg. Choose a knee brace that provides adequate support without excessively compressing the leg.
