The OA Reliever™ from DR Medical Supplies is a comfortable, lightweight, and low-profile OA knee brace designed for medial unloading of the knee joint. It also provides added stabilization for knee strains, sprains, and small tears. The single lateral upright design uses 3 points of leverage to offload and reduce the pressure on the medial compartment. This brace comes in one universal size and relies on its 4 lengthy straps to accommodate almost any size of leg and knee without sacrificing any comfort or support. This strap system not only allows for total adjustment and customization, but it also features quick-release buckles that snap on and snap off for quick and effortless application.
