Grade III Intense Support Knee Braces

Grade III Intense Support Knee Braces are usually hinged braces that control the range of movement in the knee or immobilize the joint completely.  This usually involves a complete rupture that includes more severe injuries like ligament strains, meniscal injuries, lateral and medial co-ligament instabilities and tears, hyperextension of the knee, chronic knee instability problems, post ligament repair recovery, patella tendonitis, knee subluxation, degenerative joint disease, and injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee.

The healing period can take up to three months and may include the need for surgery.  Tendons usually do not heal as quickly because they have a smaller blood supply compared to other tissues in the body.  If you have sprained or strained your knee to this extent, you should consider our Intense Support Knee Braces.  We also carry knee braces for Mild Support and Moderate Support if you are looking for a knee brace with less support.
