- Pivoting anti-migration straps keep the brace from slipping down the leg
- Steel reinforcements provide additional MCL protection during side impact
- Featherlight metal frame is durable, yet weighs less than 1 lb. (.45 kg)
- Adjustable condyle pads
- Custom versions available upon request
Indications
This device is indicated for mild sprains of the medial or lateral collateral ligaments, mild injuries of the menisci, or mild injuries to the patellar retinaculum, to provide support, compression and warmth, and aid in proprioception.
Contraindications
This device is contraindicated for injured or reconstructed knees that have moderate to severe instability.

Bledsoe Ultimate CI vs. other brands Back to top
| Comfort |
Lightweight shell with two sets of pads - closed cell that will not absorb sweat for high activity sports and ultra lure pads for normal activity. |
One set of pads that are open cell and absorb sweat and add weight. |
| Durability |
Lightweight super alloy shell that is impact resistant and won't crack or break. |
Plastic frames split, crack and break or softer aluminum that will bend. |
| Anti-migration |
Pivoting anti-migration strap design keeps brace in place during activity |
Fixed straps or straps in the wrong place allow brace to migrate. |
| Customization |
Flexible shell allows changes as leg mass increases. |
Rigid plastic frames can't flex as leg mass increases or softer aluminum that bends easy and does not hold its shape. |
| Support |
Anterior tibial shell stabilizes knee and improves rotational control. |
Braces without anterior tibial shell are harder to fit and provide less support. |
