Made from breathable, latex-free neoprene, it offers thermal compression and moisture control, making it ideal for recovery and high-impact sports. Durable, washable, and designed for a custom fit, this brace supports ligament injuries and enhances performance for active professionals seeking reliable knee protection. ## Description From the manufacturer FEATURES OF THE MCDDAVID KNEE BRACE Easy To Fit The McDavid Knee Brace is easy to fit – simply pull it up into place over the knee using the straps, then fasten the top and bottom hook and loop closures. Because of its lightweight design the McDacvid Knee Brace provides long-lasting knee support during physical activities like Working Out at the Gym, Skiing, Snowboarding, Tennis and Squash or even Swimming. Protection And Warmth The McDavid stabilizing orthosis protects the knee joint after severe trauma and provides support with health problems like patellar tendonitis, patellar subluxation or even a Runner's Knee (chondromalacia). Moreover, the neoprene sleeve provides therapeutic warmth, and a sewn in patellar buttress aids in patellar tracking. Recovery And Support The McDavid Knee Brace is ideal for assisting with recovery from lateral (LCL) and medial (MCL) collateral ligament injuries. The Knee Brace helps to improve kneecap tracking, provides support for the knee joint when bending and helps to reduce stresses on the ligaments. The McDavid Knee Brace offers extra support following knee surgery or injury. DETAILS Superior Neoprene The McDavid Knee Brace is made out of neoprene and provides soft tissue compression to reduce pain and swelling. The 3/16" thick neoprene sleeve with nylon facing on both sides and a seamless, breathable, perforated neoprene back panel allow for improved comfort. Open Knee The open knee of the McDavid Knee Brace 429x enables air flow for additional comfort. The low profile geared polycentric hinge and rigid uprights provide additional medial lateral support. Designed to cushion and protect the knee, the 429x McDavid Knee Brace incorporates rubber condyle pads and hyperextension stops. Aircraft Aluminium Hinges The McDavid Knee Brace is fitted with geared, aircraft grade aluminium, polycentric hinges on the inside (medial) and outside (lateral) parts of the brace. The hinges provide ‘normal’ knee movement but reduce painful rotation of the joint and tendons. Two stops prevent knee hyperextension. Custom Fit Adjustable Velcro straps and two fully adjustable hook and loop straps ensure a comfortable, custom fit. The McDavid Knee Brace is available in a range of five sizes from Small to Extra Large and fits either the left or right knee. The Knee Brace is hand washable. Review: I spent months researching and experimenting - knee braces - This is a tricky one, I played basketball at a high level into my early mid 20’s, I ended up with a variety of injuries, and swapped basketball for a professional career. Now in my mid 40’s I have the itch again, and it’s been a nightmare finding the right equipment, knee braces being one of them. There was one choice 20 years ago an LP hinged brace, now there are more options, “doctors” etc… all pushing for your business. That leads me onto the Mcdavid knee brace, it’s perfect for wearing during sports, keeps your knee stable, allows you to move and cut without any issues at all, it’s sizing brackets are each within an inch / so measure carefully and pick the right size preferably in the middle or at the top end of the 1 inch size range. The brackets keeps your knee super strong & stable, no pinching or digging in issues (it comes down to finding the right size). It gets a 5 out of 5 for me, I felt compelled to write this, as I spent hours researching, I also purchased a number of other brands - some cheaper some a lot more expensive, the McDavid knee brace not only does the job as advertised, it’s giving me the ability to play with confidence again. This is the only review I have written in 7 years of buying products from desertcart. I hope it helps you make a decision that is right for you, but the fit / quality and sturdiness of the brace, straps and hinge is spot on. Review: Good brace for ACL support - I have a full ACL rupture in my left knee. This brace is fantastic - has cross straps above and below the kneecap for ligament support and metal lever that prevents hyperextention. I used it on my 10 day ski holiday and it is comfortable (worn whole day) and sturdy. Fell several times on the slope and brace gave me peace of mind. Just worth noting that at the point when I went skiing my injury was around 7 months old, had 2 months of physio in the run up to skiing, am relatively sporty 27 year old female and was waiting for my ACL reconstruction surgery. Having a brace reduces risk of further injury (at least reminds you not to do stupid things on the slopes). Overall well worth the money and I was very glad not to have cancelled my ski holiday. ## Features - ✅ IMPROVED DESIGN - McDavid sports knee pads have an open, padded 360° back that isolates and supports the kneecap, developed primarily to support the knee and prevent pain, but serve as advanced level protection in all indoor sports. - ✅ PREVENTS PAIN - Our Meniscus and Ligament knee supports warm the knee joint and surrounding muscles to prevent pain and possible injury. - ✅ COMFORTABLE ADJUSTMENT - Designed upper and lower straps ensure a custom fit so they do not move up or down during play.

I have no medical knowledge and I'm unable to advise if this product would work for you. You need to do your own research and come to your own conclusions. I Purchased this to see if it would allow me to ski with a ruptured ACL and meniscus tear while waiting for reconstruction surgery. I was able to ski for the whole week of our holiday and I believe it did help with the ACL rupture. I did have some pain from the meniscus tear and I don't think this item helped with that aspect of the injury. However, by restricting the range of bending of my knee I was able to avoid the region where the meniscus tear caused me pain for most of the time. I wore the item quite a few times leading up to the holiday to 'break it in' and found that during the holiday I could wear it all day with reasonable comfort. I'm not saying this would work for everyone as my injury was several months old and was reasonably stable by time we went on holiday. Also, I want to re-iterate that I don't think this would help significantly with a meniscus tear as I believe the pain from this type of injury is due to downward pressure as the joint rotates past the tear. ## Frequently Bought Together - McDavid Hinged Knee Brace for Men and Women, Knee Brace with Side Stabilizers, Knee Compression Sleeves and Stability Straps for ACL, LCL, Arthritis, Tendonitis, MCL, Patella, Left and Right - McDavid Knee Brace Support with Side Stays, Compression Knee Sleeve & Cross Straps for Patellar Tendon Support, Tendonitis, Arthritis Pain Relief, Recovery, Knee Brace for Men and Women - EXOUS BODYGEAR Knee Brace Meniscus Tear Support For Arthritis Acl, Mcl Pain Patented 4-way Adjustable Wraparound Strap Dual Side Stabilizer For Patella Stability Size [medium] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48862749-mcdavid-knee-brace-with-polycentric-hinges-and-cross-straps](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48862749-mcdavid-knee-brace-with-polycentric-hinges-and-cross-straps) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
