Knee immobilizers are rigid external braces designed to restrict knee movement, typically used pre-surgery or after injury, such as fractures or post-arthroscopy recovery. They provide stability by limiting flexion and extension, helping to protect the knee joint during healing.
These devices are generally reusable and classified as medical devices, though regulations vary by jurisdiction. They are supplied in various sizes to accommodate different patient anatomies and are often prescribed by healthcare providers for temporary immobilization.
