Finally, press the leg straps 4 from back to front onto the support cover 9 and wrap them around the knee. This makes it suitable for most human bodies, greatly improving the convenience of wearing it and reducing the wear time.
[0036] The separate leg straps effectively prevent the knee brace from slipping down and twisting to the left or right. The support strips 10 built into the support outer layer 9 provide support and cushioning for the knee. The seams 11 on both sides of the knitted body 1 make the knee brace more conform to the human body curve. The knee area 12 is made of silicone 14, rubber 15 and sponge 17 wrapped by fabric 16, which has a shock-absorbing and cushioning effect. The main material layer 18 of fabric 16 is made of pure cotton fabric and the breathable layer 19, which makes it soft and highly breathable. The antibacterial layer 20 made of copper ion fiber can effectively reduce the growth of bacteria and viruses. This solves the problems of poor knee brace wrapping and easy slippage, improves the accuracy of the position, effectively protects the knee, effectively reduces the growth of bacteria, keeps fabric 16 clean, reduces odor, and extends service life.
