Setup and Wearing Instructions
Follow these steps to properly put on and adjust your NEENCA Professional Hinged Knee Brace for maximum comfort and support.
- Prepare the Brace: Unfasten all Velcro straps on the brace. Ensure the internal straps are also loosened.
- Slide On: Sit down and slide the brace onto your leg. Position the brace so that the open patella design (the circular opening) is centered over your kneecap.
- Adjust Internal Straps: Secure the internal straps first. These straps help to create a snug fit around your thigh and calf, preventing slippage.
- Fasten Outer Straps: Bring the top and bottom Velcro straps around your leg and secure them firmly. Adjust them to achieve a comfortable yet supportive compression. The hinges on the sides should align with the natural bend of your knee.
- Check Fit: Stand up and bend your knee a few times to ensure the brace moves with you without pinching or excessive movement. Readjust straps as needed. The brace should feel secure but not restrict circulation.

Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your knee brace and maintain its effectiveness.
- Hand Wash Only: The brace is hand washable. Use mild soap and cold water.
- Air Dry: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron. Lay flat to air dry completely.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the fabric and components.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your knee brace, consider the following:
- Discomfort or Pinching: Recheck the strap tension. Ensure no straps are too tight, restricting circulation. Verify the patella opening is correctly centered.
- Brace Slipping: Ensure all straps are securely fastened and adjusted for a snug fit. Re-measure your thigh circumference to confirm you have the correct size.
- Insufficient Support: Confirm the side stabilizers are properly inserted and aligned. If you have removed them, reinsert them for maximum support.
- Skin Irritation: Ensure the brace is clean and dry before wearing. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
