The AccuSure K1 Open Patella Knee Support is a wrap-around knee support designed to provide adjustable compression and support around the knee while leaving the patellar area open. Its neoprene construction provides a close-fitting feel, while the open-patella design is intended to reduce pressure directly over the kneecap and allow comfortable knee movement.

The support features an anterior wrap-around design with an adjustable UBL fabric layer, allowing the user to customise the level of compression and fit. Current product listings also identify 4-way stretch neoprene as a key construction feature, giving the support flexibility while maintaining its shape during movement.

The AccuSure K1 can be considered for everyday activities, walking and selected exercise or sports activities where flexible compression and knee support are appropriate. It is a non-rigid, adjustable knee support, rather than a hinged immobiliser or specialised ligament brace. For significant instability, major injury or post-operative use, the appropriate support should be selected with professional guidance.

Key Features

Open Patella Design

The front opening leaves the patellar area exposed while the surrounding material provides support around the knee.

This design can be useful for shoppers specifically looking for an open-knee-cap or open-patella knee support.

Adjustable Wrap-Around Fit

The anterior wrap-around construction allows the user to adjust how the support sits around the knee.

The UBL fabric layer is designed to assist with grip and customised compression.

Neoprene Construction

The K1 is made using neoprene, a commonly used material in flexible orthopedic supports.

Its close-fitting construction provides compression and warmth around the knee.

4-Way Stretch

The material has 4-way stretch, helping the support adapt to knee movement while maintaining a secure fit.

Customisable Compression

Unlike a simple pull-on sleeve, the wrap-around construction allows the compression level to be adjusted according to comfort.

Flexible Knee Movement

The open-patella and stretch construction are designed to support the knee without the rigid movement restriction associated with an immobiliser.

Patellar-Friendly Design

The open front leaves the kneecap area uncovered while providing support around the surrounding knee region.

Comfortable Compression

Neoprene and the adjustable construction provide a close-fitting compression feel without the bulk of a rigid brace.

Flexible Movement

The 4-way stretch construction allows the support to accommodate normal knee movement.

Warmth Around the Knee

Neoprene construction can provide a warm, enclosed feel around the knee, which some users may find comfortable during activity.

Suitable for Active Use

The flexible design can be considered for walking, exercise and recreational sports when mild-to-moderate supportive compression is appropriate.
