Which Size Knee Support Is Right for Me?

In order to select the perfect knee support size for you, we recommend measuring the circumference of your leg approximately 15cm above your knee and across the knee itself, as demonstrated in the image below. Once you have this measurement, please consult our sizing chart beneath with your measurements.

Please note: If you are concerned about tightness, we recommend selecting a size up from the one your measurements recommend.

What If My Measurements Conflict One Another?

If the circumference of your thigh and the circumference of your knee indicate two different sizes, we recommend you select the larger of the two. This is ensures the knee brace you select provides flexibility and stretch without compromising circulation and blood flow.

How Tight Is a BioSkin Standard Knee Support?

Designed to provide compression and a tight, therapeutic fit, the BioSkin Standard Knee Support compresses all the ligaments, tendons and muscles surrounding the knee to prevent instability and failure. Due to it's tight fitting nature, we recommend selecting a size larger than our chart indicates if you are concerned about tightness.

What Is the Benefit of a Tight Fitting Brace?

Unless you have a condition that makes compression dangerous, your brace should fit nice and tight and provide the necessary compression required to speed up blood flow and rehabilitation. Compression increases blood flow to a specific area, meaning wearing a brace will rapidly increase the speed of your recovery.

What Does a Correctly Fitted Bioskin Standard Knee Support Feel Like?

If you've correctly followed our sizing guidelines and you've slipped your brace on, you should feel a gentle level of compression at the top and bottom of your knee. Your patella should be showing through the hole at the centre of the support, allowing you to adjust the strap tightness until comfortable.

How To Correctly Fit Your BioSkin Standard Knee Brace

In order to correctly apply your knee support, please follow the instructions below.

1. Loosen both Velcro straps
2. Put your foot and leg through the brace hole and pull it up to the knee area
3. Ensure your knee cap is placed in the exposed hole at the centre of the brace
4. Tighten both straps until comfortable, adjusting the placement of the brace where necessary
