Thuasne Patella Adjustable Knee Support Band
The Thuasne Patella Adjustable Knee Support Band combines a compact strap and silicone pad to provide highly targeted bracing for the patella tendon. While larger knee braces and supports can restrict or overheat the knee, the Thuasne strap only compresses the kneecap, leaving the rest of leg free and well-ventilated. The anatomical shape absorbs shock and improves stability, making it suitable to wear during sports or just for everyday wear.
What's Included?
Please note that this knee support can be worn on either the left or right leg.

The Thuasne Patella Bandage is available in one universal size to fit most knees. To find out if the strap will fit you, measure the circumference of your knee just below your kneecap as shown in the diagram below. The strap will fit anyone with a circumference of between 29cm and 50cm.

Why Is It Important to Protect Your Patella?
The patella tendon is particularly prone to wear and tear, particularly if you lead an active lifestyle and play sports often. As we depend on our knees each day to help us move around, any issues in the area can be debilitating to your everyday routine. Conditions like Osgood-Schlatter disease and tears in the patella tendon can cause inflammation and instability, which can only be improved with sufficient rest and support.
Can I Wear Patella Strap While Playing Sports?
Due to its minimalistic, unrestrictive design, the Thuasne Patella Strap is the perfect supplement to sporting activities. Helping to reduce pain and inflammation without disrupting your movement, this support helps you stay active with confidence and protection.
Anatomical Strap
With its anatomical shape, the patella strap supports and stabilises your kneecap as much as possible. As the straps can be adjusted, you can choose the extent to which you compress the area. The bandage also applies local pressure over the patella tendon to help speed up the recovery process.
Discreet and Comfy
Owing to its anatomical design, the Thuasne Patella Strap can be worn underneath your clothes with minimal bulk or discomfort. This allows you to get the support you need while going about your day as normal, and without drawing any unwanted attention.
