Aircast Infrapatellar Band - Black - Universal

The Aircast Infrapatellar Band is designed to relieve symptoms of patellofemoral pain and Osgood-Schlatter disease. Worn below the patella, an aircell focuses compression on the patellar tendon and its area of insertion.

Key Benefits:

• Design similar to the Aircast Pneumatic Armband. Tests show 50% more compression under the aircell than with a conventional band - more support with less constriction.
• Comfortable. Padded, foam-lined band diffuses pressure on the poples.
• One Size Fits All

Indications

• The symptoms of patellalgia
• "Jumper's Knee"
• Osgood-Schlatter's disease

"First, the thing works well. It is a 90% cure for my patellofemoral pain (classic "theater sign" while seated). I liked the first one so much I stocked up on 4 more. Wear one every single day. The downsides are that the air bag pops relatively quickly. Not too durable. (It's still effective for me even popped, which makes me suspicious that the "air" in aircast is just a gimmick.) Also, the thing is fairly intelligently constructed WRT the velcro closure (hooks face inward and are completely covered by the loops, so it doesn't hook your pants). HOWEVER, the part that holds the air bag itself is made from hook-side velcro, which is bad because as the device gets worn, those hooks inevitably become exposed and will catch on wool or polyester (awesome!) pants. I would give it an 8.5/10 for that, with potential to move to a 9.5 if they really fixed the velcro issues."
