Do you know if the 4" will slide onto a leg that is 17 1/2" in circumference? I plan to slide this on my leg before I install my knee brace. Thanks.

Yes, I'm sure it will. The only down side of this product is that it shrinks up shorter when washed so I just throw it out when soiled and cut a new one.

it should... it is sooooo stretchy, that it was too big for what I needed and ended up exchanging for 1.5"

You might be more comfortable with the next size or two up. It will probably be ok but after a bit it might tear, and it will probably feel snug at 4".

Dear Mr Thomas My husband's legs are 13-1/2" and this last order is running to big. If I can made a suggestion, I really think that the 3" stockinette would be better for you. It is a great product. It is a knit and has much give to it.

I think it would just barely fit that diameter. My lower thigh is about 43cm in diameter and there is only about 8cm from where the velcro would meet the edge of the brace. Meaning, it would comfortably fit to about 50cm-52cm. If you try to make it fit, it would be too tight and impede venous flow. I would look for a larger brace if I were you.

Yes, my knee is 19" and there is plenty to spare, extremely comfortable and for the price, well I cant buy anything else and I deal frequently with concrete which tends to clog up Velcro but it is so wide and long that it will be years before you would need to do as I have done in the past and use a narrow piece of duct tape wrapped around the pad and if you use a little caution you can reuse the strip for weeks, 3/4' works well.

I had to find out by going to the Manufacturer's site where they had more information on sizing and dimensions. It required using a measuring tape around my lower thigh and upper calf. http://www.bauerfeindusa.com/en/products/supports-orthoses/knee-hip-thigh/genutrain.html

this might be a bit big. perhaps use 3 inch instead of 4. I have only used this for foot/ankle splints.

I followed the instructions for measuring my knee around the center and ordered a regular based on a 16" knee. When it arrived the knee part felt fine but my thigh was too large for it to even begin to connect to the Velcro. I am now in the process of trying to figure out what size to try next...large or extra large. The quality of the brace seems to be very good and of course, how can you beat Amazon's excellent service!

I took the measurements of my knee from the center of the knee cap up about 41/2 inches and then around the leg in that area. My knee brace was just right and feels good. Best of luck.

I'm a big person. I have a 17 inches knee circumference and this pad fitted comfortably. You'll have 5 panels, 5 inches wide each, to wrap around your knee. Make a paper model and try it on you. If it's too much, then go for the regular size and not this one.

I am a big guy. So don't laugh. It would have helped to have the circumference of your thigh in inches. so I did an experiment. My calf is 16 1nches in circumference. The groin wrap fit securely around my calf. I hope this helps.

I'm 5'3", 135 lbs, and wear it on my forearm. I've had no problems with it sliding down; however, I've only worn it during cold weather here so far, and it's been on top of UnderArmor. I have not had a chance to wear it directly on my skin. And the strap is adjustable with 2 different slits you can put the band through.

I would get the short leg cast protector I'm only 5'2"" but it reached well over my knee and half way up my thigh. Good luck with your surgery

The Armband is adjustable, up to 14". It will unfortunately not fit with 17"

I'm afraid the circumference under your knee might be too small. I have a medium (they don't make small) and have to pull it all the way tight to get it to stay. I have another brand--McDavid--which is easier to adjust. You might want to try another brand.

I too am 5'6" and about 170 and it wraps around my knee with an overlap of about 5 or so inches. I pull it pretty snug for some compression and I sit down with my knee raised up to relax. I had surgery and needed to reduce swelling. If I chose to get up and walk around, it would stay put to run to the kitchen or restroom but I would not plan to walk around a lot with it on. It is not a knee brace type of wrap.

4 inches but it's very slippery. It should have a cover provided with it.I slid off the first time I used it. I haven't used it since. Too dangerous.

I would measure the thickest part of your leg, in my case the mid-thigh, as the brace extends from mid-thigh to the mid-calf. It also includes plastic braces which may dig into fatty areas. I removed mine, but it rendered the brace too big. The brace is rather comfortable for a more muscular leg with less discrepancy between top and bottom widths.
