Medi Patella Tendon Support

The Medi Patella Tendon Support is a specialised strap featuring an anatomically shaped cushion designed to provide targeted relief for the patellar tendon.

Targeted Patella Tendon Relief

The Medi Patella Tendon Support works by applying focused pressure directly onto the patellar tendon, just below the kneecap. This is achieved through an integrated, anatomically shaped cushion (pad) that sits comfortably against the tendon. The pressure exerted by the strap can be individually adjusted using the Velcro fastener, allowing users to customise the level of support and relief to their specific needs. This targeted compression helps to alleviate strain on the patellar tendon insertion.

Comfort and Practical Design

Crafted from skin-friendly lycra material, the Medi Patella Tendon Support is designed for comfortable wear, even during activity. Its simple yet effective design ensures it is easy to apply and adjust. The strap is intended to be worn snugly without overtightening, providing support without significantly restricting normal knee movement for many activities.

Common Applications

This support strap is indicated for conditions that benefit from targeted pressure on the patella tendon. Common uses include managing patella tendinitis, often referred to as Jumper's Knee. It can also be beneficial for individuals experiencing pain associated with patellofemoral malalignment where such pressure offers relief, and for mild instabilities of the knee joint where tendon support is advantageous. It should be used on unbroken skin.
