The unique design of the Q Brace enables multidirectional traction of the patella. The "T" band prevents dislocation and can be fixed in different positions to control the direction of pull on the patella. The design of the braces ensures that the pulling force increases as the knee goes through a range of motion. Like BioSkin's other knee products, the Q Brace is made from BioSkin's patented, thin, breathable materials, making it comfortable to wear even in hot climates.
