Description

Indications for the EPITACT® Ski Knee Brace

Are you a fan of winter sports but worry about your fragile knee preventing you from enjoying your activities? The Physiostrap® Ski EPITACT® knee brace prevents and relieves knee pain associated with patellar pathologies (patellofemoral syndrome, instability and patellar tendinopathy, sprains, osteoarthritis, ligament injury, meniscal lesions...).

How does it work?
The effectiveness of this EPITACT® knee support brace relies on the combined action of ultra-performance fabrics and a double silicone tendon which provides excellent patellar support and good knee stability during repeated leg flexions. Completely flexible, it preserves freedom of movement and is suitable for all winter sports (skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, hockey, rollerblading, skateboarding...).

Instructions for Use

Usage Tips for the Knee Support Brace

Wash before first use.
For optimal fit: before use, do not apply moisturizing cosmetics and wash the silicone bands at least with water and soap to remove impurities.
To minimize the risk of skin irritation, place the ski knee brace without stretching it on the thigh and do not wear it while lying down or during prolonged sitting (sleeping, car travel, etc.). In case of painful sensation, swelling, discomfort, or any other abnormal reaction, stop using it and consult a doctor.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

When and how long should I wear the ski knee brace?
The Physiostrap® Ski EPITACT® knee brace is designed for both beginner and experienced athletes experiencing patellar pain (patellar syndrome, tendinitis, osteoarthritis, etc.). It is worn only during dynamic activities (while in motion) and can be used for prevention or pain relief as it helps preserve muscle strength. Outside of sports activities, you can wear the medical knee brace throughout the day during daily activities.

How do I choose the right size?
Using a tape measure, measure the circumference of your knee in a semi-flexed position starting from the center of the kneecap. Then, refer to the size guide accessible at the top of the page. If you're unsure between two sizes, it's better to choose the smaller one.

What is its lifespan?
This knee support brace is made of durable fabric and high-quality materials, giving it an average lifespan of 6 months, provided that you follow the instructions for use and maintenance.

What is the difference compared to the Physiostrap® Sport EPITACT® knee brace?
The ski knee brace is specifically designed for sports involving repeated knee flexions. Compared to the Physiostrap® Sport, the tendon that surrounds the kneecap is doubled to enhance joint support. Additionally, the silicone bands on the thigh and calf are different to provide stronger support with the Physiostrap® Ski.
