The AccuSure Functional Knee Support K5 is a hinged knee support designed for users who need a combination of compression, adjustable fitting and controlled knee support. Its bi-axial heavy-duty hinge is designed to accommodate knee flexion while providing side support around the joint. The wrap-style construction allows the compression and fit to be adjusted using the fastening straps.
The support uses four-way stretch Drytex fabric, which is designed to provide flexible compression while allowing the wearer to move the knee. An open-patella design and cushioned opening are also listed for this model, while the large dorsal opening is intended to help prevent fabric buckling behind the knee.
The K5 is available in Small, Medium, Large, XL and XXL on the current MedIN listing. Choosing the correct size is important because a hinged knee brace should remain secure without being excessively tight. The manufacturer's sizing information measures circumference around the knee at the patella.
Why Choose This Product?
The AccuSure K5 is worth considering if you need more structured support than a basic elastic knee cap.
What makes the K5 different?
-
Bi-axial heavy-duty hinges for controlled knee movement
-
Four-way stretch fabric for flexible compression
-
Wrap-around design for adjustable fitting
-
Anterior opening for easier application
-
Open patella design for reduced pressure directly over the kneecap
-
Adjustable straps for customised compression
-
Anti-tourniquet strapping designed to provide a secure fit without excessive constriction
- Available in S, M, L, XL and XXL
This makes it particularly relevant for users looking for a functional hinged knee support rather than a simple compression sleeve.
Key Features
Bi-Axial Heavy-Duty Hinges
The K5 incorporates side hinges designed to support controlled knee movement while allowing flexion. This functional design distinguishes it from basic elastic knee supports.
Four-Way Stretch Fabric
The Drytex four-way stretch material provides flexibility and compression while allowing the support to move with the knee.
Adjustable Wrap Design
The wrap construction allows the user to adjust compression and fit using the front fastening system.
This can be particularly useful when putting the support on a swollen or difficult-to-fit knee.
Open Patella Design
The patella opening leaves the kneecap area relatively free while the surrounding fabric provides support.
The product listing also identifies a cushion around the open patella area for additional comfort.
Anti-Tourniquet Strapping
The strap system is designed to provide a secure hold while reducing excessive pressure from the fastening system.
Large Dorsal Opening
The rear opening helps reduce bunching or buckling behind the knee during movement.

- Structured support around the knee
