Flamingo Patella Strap (Neoprene) OC 2062 - Universal

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Flamingo patellar strap?
  Flamingo Patella strap is a knee band that uses a specially shaped, molded pad to compress the area directly below the kneecap without uncomfortable constriction of blood flow to the lower limb.
• What does patella strap do?
  Patellar straps, occasionally just called knee straps, are applied just under the knee cap. The idea is to press on the patellar tendon and tighten up the knee mechanism, providing support to the knee cap so that it is not constantly thumping against the femur. The effort not only helps to ease the discomfort of patella-femoral pain syndrome, but it keeps the cartilage that would normally prevent contact from degenerating any further.
• What are the benefits of patellar strap?
  Among the benefits of wearing a patellar strap include the following: Lessens the pain caused by the inflammation. Reduces patellar compression. Prevents excessive sideways shifting of the patella, keeping it in proper alignment. Minimizes patellar strain and pressure.
• How to choose a patellar strap?
  When choosing a patellar strap, make sure that it is made of high-quality material and provides adequate support. An adjustable strap feature is also handy to ensure comfort and flexibility.
• How does Flamingo patellar strap work?
  Flamingo patellar strap decreases the patellar tendon length (PTL) which, in turn, indirectly decreases the strain on the patellar tendon.
