BREG '08814 Brace, Orthopedic, Foam Knee Telescoping Hinge Post-Op Strap Lock Quick Clip Buckle T-Scope Latex

Good quality and quick delivery very useful well done

Great brace very comfortable, adjustable fantastic

Great relief, I have a ruptured ACL and a torn Medial Meniscus. This offers great support and the flexibility to change settings in an instant to enable driving. Also very comfortable, and keeps the leg warm. A lot better than my previous Med4 brace. Got this supplied by NHS fair chuffed with it

It is good

Great value, well made, does it's job well. For post operative or basic recuperative use, NOT for sports use (not at all what it is designed for: too bulky, wrong design of hinge, not sufficiently heavy etc....)! Stays in place fine if correctly adjusted. Wore mine all day for day to day tasks (shops, office, household) for about 6 weeks with no problem, swapping to a more expensive sports orientated one for rehab and active use as mobility improved. Fits under quite loose trousers only. Fine with shorts or leggings in the gym for rehab stuff. Gives a reassuring amount of support due to substantial alloy bars and four point attachment. Comfortable, not too sweaty compared with neoprene wrap around supports, quick to put on and off.

Unfortunately brace far too long in the leg below the knee. It was purchased for ski-ing, but the length of the brace would not have allowed me to put my ski boot on.

This is my 3rd brace and here is why: Following quad tendon surgery, I woke up with the $450 DonJoy (top of the picture) brace provided by the hospital. It is a very good and heavy duty brace that I also still use occasionally for travel. The only reason I started looking for another brace was because 1) its hard to sleep in with the big bar/flex adjustment dial on the side and 2) it did tend to slowly slip down when walking (even with crutches). I do wear shorts, but think with pants and a belt on under the brace any of these braces would hold position pretty good. It just hard to wear pants for awhile after surgery and you want the scar to get air to heal. The 2nd brace (middle in picture) cost $34 on Amazon. It's non-adjustable for flex, so only good for keep a leg straight and that works for me. It was purchased primarily because 1)sleeping (smooth side with no adjustment dial) and 2) it cheap. So it is only used for sleeping, because it easily slips down the leg when standing or walking. Now my 3rd brace was the $130 BREG. This brace has been my daily brace, except when sleeping, because of the following: 1) it is much better at not slipping than the other two 2) it has better ventilation (live in Florida) 3) its lightweight and 4) the easiest to put on. When I first got the BREG I thought the pads were cheap because did not have a soft feel, but later realized it is much better for holding to leg than a soft pad would. Also noticed that it take a few times adjusting to get it right or you can end up bruising your leg wearing and walking all day. Really got to wear it a little, then keep fine tuning to get it perfect. I can now comfortably wear all day. It also has the flex adjustment, so will be able to keep using this once rehab starts. Also all it can be slept in, especially if a back sleeper. I am a side sleeper, so dial is bothersome. However, I have napped a couple times with it on. Overall, very pleased with this brace for daily activities and use the cheap one to sleep.

I have a closet full of knee braces. Some are for specific issues (e.g., dislocated knee) while others are for general tendinitis issues. This Breg knee brace is my first Breg -- I'm using it to prevent hyper extension of my knee and lateral/sideways movement in my knee -- it excels at doing this better than any other knee brace I've tried. I just had a meniscectomy to remove part of a torn meniscus in my knee. While no knee brace is recommended for this surgery (which is different topic I don't understand), I'm grateful I have this particular brace. This particular Breg brace is fully adjustable depending on your height. Normally when I read "one size fits all", I say "Yah, right... sure it is." But in this case the Breg really is. I'm 6'2" and I have it only partially extended... I could extended it more or less. My 5'2" 10 year old could wear this if needed. I also like the velcro straps. Each of the straps lock-in BOTH the back side and the front-side of the leg. What I mean are 2 things: 1) unlike other braces that have only straps on the front side, Breg has the strap on the back side too. and 2) Each strap's back side locks separate from the front side. There is also convenient velcro at each strap's end to secure the loose end of the strap after tightening. Having 4 straps that lock both front & back and on a brace that can be extended the full length of the leg means that when you restrict knee angle movement (extension and/or compression), the leg really is restricted. The Breg has "stops" on each side of the knee for both extension and compression. Yes, one of each on the left side and one of each on the other side... that is, 4 stops total. When the user synchronizes their settings between sides of the knee (because there are stops on both sides of the knee), this ensures there is no additional give/flex -- that is, your knee does in fact stop where you want it to stop. Finally, the padding is removable for fine tuning placement or washing. It's no wonder that this Breg model is specified by doctors/hospitals. I highly recommend it. Note: If you have a dislocated knee, you need a different type of brace that braces the patella (knee cap). This Breg brace is not designed for that (but I suspect Breg has braces specifically for that type of injury).

My son had surgery and this brace was perfect. He was not happy to have to wear it but it fit well and was easy to get on and off.

Worth the money, compared to the brace from the Dr. that they want over $700 for. My doctor approved (he actually suggested it) the use of this brace in advance. Only issue I’ve had is that the sizing slides for the top strap don’t hold and the strap slips down, but this is a minor issue.

For knees that hyper-extend these work excellent. I wish I had found them sooner. A little thicker and softer pads would be nice and a little padding to stop the click when you reach the extension stop would would make these just about perfect. I had to put a 1/2 thick rubber pad on the inside to prevent it from putting too much pressure on my knee but that is just specific to me. It stays in place like it should with or without the extra pad. It has prevented me from having another surgery so far.
