Questions and Answers
Common questions about the Patellar Tendon Strap. For anything specific to your own condition, speak to a qualified healthcare professional.
How do I choose the right size?
Free-size adjustable strap. Center the pressure pad over the patellar tendon just below the kneecap, not directly on the kneecap. Available sizes: Free Size. No fixed circumference is listed. Confirm that the strap overlaps securely below the kneecap without restricting circulation. Check the size table on this page against your own measurement before ordering.
How do I put it on and adjust it?
Put it in position first, then close it, using the adjustable hook-and-loop strap, working from the middle outwards so the pressure stays even. The product is fully adjustable. It should feel snug and evenly supported, never painful, and should not leave deep marks on the skin. Loosen or reposition it if it does.
Will it restrict my movement?
Leaves knee flexion and extension substantially unrestricted. It is designed for moderate support. It should feel secure without pinching, sliding, or cutting off circulation.
How is this different from the other knee supports?
The Patellar Tendon Strap presses on one place below the kneecap and does not take in the whole joint. The Elastic Knitted Knee Support (K05) is a sleeve worn over the knee, and the Dual-Spring Knee Brace (K10) adds structure at the sides.
How do I wash and care for it?
Fasten all closures before washing. Follow the care label supplied with the product. Unless the label states otherwise, hand wash gently in lukewarm water with mild detergent and air dry flat away from direct heat. Do not bleach, wring, tumble dry, or iron.
When should I stop using it and seek advice?
Position the strap below the kneecap and do not overtighten. Remove it if pain increases or if you notice swelling, numbness, tingling, colour change, coldness, or skin irritation. Acute injury, locking, instability, or significant swelling requires professional assessment.
