Prepare the knee immobilizer and straps.
Place the immobilizer behind the leg and centered behind the knee vertically and laterally.
If the immobilizer has a patellar cutout, align the cutout over the patella.
If the immobilizer has removable or adjustable stabilizer bars, place the bars medially and laterally along the long axis of the leg.
Secure the stabilizer bars and the immobilizer with the fastener straps (e.g., hook and loop) above and below the knee (typically 2 above and 2 below the knee).
Check distal sensation and capillary refill.
Any open wounds must be covered properly prior to the application of the knee immobilizer.
Do not apply the immobilizer too low on the leg because that does not effectively immobilize the knee.
Hand wash with mild, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and air-dry.
