Back in 2014 I partially tore my patellar tendon and when the ortho doc was repairing that he discovered that my patella moves at a bit of an angle due to overdevelopment of my inner quad muscle. The larger inner muscle pulls the knee cap at an angle so it not only put undue strain on the tendon but also wore down the cartilage. I went from running half marathons at a 7:30 - 7:45/mile pace to not running for 2 years. I have had trouble getting back into training because of the ongoing pain in my knee. The Bioskin Patella Stabilizer is the first brace that has given me hope to resume training. On my first run with the brace my knee felt better supported and was completely pain-free for the first time in a very long time. I look forward to many more miles and more races thanks to this awesome brace.

I've been using these braces for years, since breaking my knee cap. Great brace, great quality!

It's been several years since my last purchase, but the great quality remains! Excellent product for people who need the stabilizing effect.

This brace keep my knee in place so I can play golf. This is my 2nd brace, I wore the first one out!

When I can get the brace to stay in place it does a great job at providing support. The 2 complaints I do have is it bunches up behind my knee quite a bit and often I'm pulling it back into place. I wear these for 10hrs a day

This is my second open patella stabilizer from Bioskin. The first lasted for over 20 years. The new one feels great and is used three times per week to assist my exercise program for management of systemic arthritis. Thank you for such a well engineered and functional apparatus.

The Patella Stabilizer/Open Patella heals my meniscus tears every time after wearing it about two to four weeks. I am 61 years old, and I have elected not to have knee surgery. The Patella Stabilizer/Open Patella has been working for me since 2004 without any knee surgery.

Excellent product! Comfortable, stays in place, and if activity is very vigorous, simply wetting the thigh as they suggested gives a more secure hold. Very easy to clean & durable - just run through gentle wash cycle, using very little detergent, or hand wash. Worth every penny! Sadly, with all the exercise I'm doing now, I'm losing so much weight, that I might need to order the smaller size in a few months.

For months I had a severe allergic reaction to the "Sports Authority" brace. It was from the byproducts found in neoprene. i switched to Bioskin and have not had a problem since. My only problem is that on this particular model there are no loops to pull on. That would be great addition.

Great product. Only wish is that Bioskin would work with high schools to help out young athletes

It works very nicely. I would like to see a opening behind the knee so the material wouldn't bunch up. There is a lot of bulk that makes it uncomfortable when the knee is bent.

I have worn this for about 10 days. It took 3 days to adjust to this type (old one was exterior metal-hinged type). It it light, breaths well and stays put. I have mod/severe osteoarthritis and have to wait another year for surgery. So far, no new issues with stability, increase pain or swelling.

Bought this for our daughter who plays college lacrosse in Florida. Best brace there is and we have tried SEVERAL. It's thin so there is no bunching. It stays cool in the heat, which means no slipping. Good compression means next to no swelling. The gel pad is a definite bonus as it protects her knee from hard shots. This is her 2nd one in 3 years, the first one is still going strong, just wanted a second one.

Great knee brace!

I will need a knee replacement at some point and this brace lessens the pain and swelling in the knee. Gives great support and actually helped make my bakers cyst subside (I had the cyst for 9 months) you can wear this all day with no problem.

I recently fell and was told by my Dr. to get a brace. I was referred to you by my chiropractor. I ordered the Patella stabilizer knee brace and I love it. I am 36 single mother of three active kids and I am an aquatic director at a YMCA so am pretty active myself. Bio Skin is light weight, and easy to put on. I wear it when I work out and any major activity. It is much more comfortable than anything you could get at a local store. I do wear mine in the pool when I teach aerobics, but I always rinse it as soon as I am done. I found that their sizes are pretty true to measurements. I got an extra Large, but I think I would have been fine with a large. The sizes overlap a bit. I will definitely buy from them again.

Soon I will be ordering my fourth pair of Bio Skin Patella Stabilizer Knee Braces (over 15 years)! Yes, I need one for each knee. I use the braces when I go hiking or otherwise require very strong patellar support (for example, when I went on a walking tour in Europe). They are easy to put on and take off, and they are hand washable. I wore out my first pair after moving to a different state. My new doctor prescribed a different kind of stabilizer--heavier, harder to get on and off, more cumbersome. And I'm not sure that it offered as much support. It took me a while, but I finally sourced a new pair of Bio Skins, and have never looked back! I think that there is now a larger selection of sizes to choose from since my last order. I suspect that the fit will be even better. Thank you Bio Skin, for making it possible for me to continue my enjoyment of accessing difficult-to-reach photo ops, and a wider range hiking trails!!!

This brace works so good I am ordering another brace, just like the one my doctor gave me.I have tried others put they do not work as well as this one.It really works for me.
