Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct size?
Measure according to the ORTONYX size chart and select the size that provides a snug, comfortable fit. The sleeve should feel supportive without cutting off circulation. If you fall between sizes, consider your preference: a closer fit for more compression or a slightly larger size for easier on/off and layering.
Can I wear the brace on either knee?
Yes. The design is reversible and can be worn on the left or right knee. Center the silicone patella ring over the kneecap, then adjust the lower and upper straps to achieve even, secure compression.
Will this hinged knee brace fit under clothing?
The slim, 3D knitted construction is designed for discreet wear under pants and athletic gear. The moisture‑wicking fabric helps manage heat and perspiration, making it suitable for work, travel, and daily activities.
Does it have metal hinges?
The product provides structured support described as a hinged knee brace in the title and features a 3D knitted sleeve, silicone patella ring, and adjustable straps. It is built to support stability and patella alignment without restricting essential movement.
Is this brace good for arthritis discomfort?
It provides gentle compression and patella support that can help ease day‑to‑day discomfort associated with arthritis. For diagnosis, individualized treatment, and wear time, consult your healthcare professional.
Can I use it after a knee injury or surgery?
It can assist comfort and external support during rehabilitation when used under medical guidance. Always follow your clinician’s instructions on wear time, activity levels, and when to discontinue use.
How tight should I fasten the straps?
Secure the straps so the brace stays in place without causing numbness, tingling, or increased pain. You should be able to slide a finger under the edges. Recheck strap tension after several minutes of activity and adjust as needed.
Will the brace slip during activity?
The dual fastening straps help resist slipping by allowing targeted compression. For best results, choose the correct size, center the patella ring over the kneecap, and smooth the sleeve before securing the straps.
What activities is it suitable for?
It’s designed for everyday wear and low‑ to moderate‑impact activities such as walking, cycling, gym workouts, basketball, hiking, and work that involves standing. Increase activity gradually and follow your clinician’s advice if recovering from an injury.
How do I wash and care for the brace?
Hand wash in cool water with mild soap, gently remove excess water, and air dry away from heat. Do not iron. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, which can degrade elastic fibers.
Can I wear it all day?
Many users wear knee supports during waking hours for activities that benefit from added stability and comfort. Check your skin regularly, loosen or remove the brace if irritation occurs, and follow medical guidance for extended wear or post‑injury use.
Is it unisex?
Yes. The brace is designed for men and women. It offers a reversible, left/right fit and is available in multiple sizes from S to XXL.
Does it help with swelling?
Gentle, consistent compression can help manage the sensation of swelling from overuse or strain. If you experience significant swelling, pain, warmth, or sudden symptoms, seek medical evaluation.
Can I use this for running or weightlifting?
Yes, the breathable knit and adjustable straps support stability for running, cycling, and gym training. Introduce the brace gradually to your routine and monitor comfort, especially if you’re recovering from an injury.
What if I experience numbness or increased pain?
Stop and remove the brace. Refit with less tension or discontinue use. Persistent or worsening symptoms warrant medical evaluation to rule out underlying issues or incorrect sizing.
