OTC 2435 Knee Brace | Compression Gel Pad & Flexible Stays | Orthopedic Support | Patella Stabilizer

The OTC 2435 is designed to provide moderate compression, patella support, and knee stability for people experiencing knee discomfort, arthritis, meniscus injuries, patellar tendonitis, mild ligament sprains, and general joint weakness during daily activities or exercise.

The anatomically contoured gel pad surrounds the kneecap (patella) to cushion it, reduce pressure on soft tissues, and help keep the patella properly tracked during movement. This is especially beneficial for runner's knee and patellar tendonitis.

The flexible side stays provide medial and lateral stability to the knee joint, helping to prevent sideways buckling and reducing strain on the ligaments during walking, exercise, or work activities.

Measure the circumference around the center of your knee (at the bend). Match your measurement to the sizing chart: X-Small (12–13.5 in), Small (13.5–15 in), Medium (15–16.5 in), Large (16.5–18 in), X-Large (18–19 in).

The OTC 2435 can be used during post-operative recovery for mild to moderate compression and support. Always follow your surgeon's or physiotherapist's specific recommendations regarding brace use after a procedure.

Hand wash in warm water with mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and air dry flat. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, bleach, or iron, as this may damage the gel insert and elastic fabric.

The gel pad is anatomically contoured and integrated into the brace to stay in position around the kneecap during normal activity. Ensuring the correct size is selected will help maintain proper placement throughout the day.

Rigid braces provide maximum support for severe instability or post-operative recovery. Consult your care provider to determine which level of support is right for you.
