Health and safety note: This Medibrace guide is general product-selection information only. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, prescribe, or replace advice from a licensed clinician.

When to check with a clinician first

See a qualified healthcare provider for severe pain, sudden swelling, numbness, deformity, inability to bear weight, signs of infection, or symptoms that are new, worsening, or do not improve. A brace supports comfort and function; it does not replace assessment.

Sleeve or hinged brace for my knee?
