The Knee Sleeve w/ Open Patella Model 402 in Black is a single compression sleeve designed for athletes and active individuals seeking circumferential knee support with targeted relief for the patellar area. This sleeve provides gentle compression to the surrounding soft tissues while the open patella design reduces direct pressure on the kneecap, making it ideal for those with patellar sensitivity or conditions like chondromalacia. The elastic construction promotes blood flow and proprioception to aid stability during running, basketball, weightlifting, and daily activities. The breathable, four-way stretch material conforms to the knee for a secure fit that stays in place without restricting range of motion. Ideal for competitive and recreational athletes managing minor knee discomfort or seeking preventive support during high-impact movements.
