I am having a knee replacement. Will it cover the top of the knee and would it be too tight around the knee?

I think it would. I had it just below the knee bend but there was still room to pull up and I had a cast on. The seal is tight but stretches and thankfully actually holds and seals extremely well. It would also depend on how long your lower leg was. If not too long it'll probably cover the whole knee and seal above the replacement making it not a problem for being too tight around the actual replacement area.

I bought this for my dad, who is 5'10. Without a cast on his foot/leg, it reached to just about an inch above the knee. In order for this to work, the covering really should go about 3 inches above the knee cap and have room for the closure to make a proper seal.

I don't think this will be high enough for your needs. Also, seal at the top rips easily and I had to start taping after one use. I would look elsewhere.

I noticed that they have the length in inches. I measured my cast and bought one that was long enough for my needs. The opening itself is rather large. The area where I had my ankle surgery is about the size of a ripe cantaloupe and it fit over with out problem. Other commenters suggested unsing a stocking to help put it on. That was very helpful.

I guess it would depend on your height- I am 5'10" and it comes to right below my knee

You should be able to shower 4-5 days after your TKR, as I did when I had mine done in 2012. Sponge bath until then, so no real need for a covering unless your dr. recommends.

I really never had a problem with it being uncomfortable on my knee. I had on a cast that "cut" into my leg because there wasn't enough padding at the top edge. I just stuck more padding along the top edge and it was fine. I'm still using it once in awhile now, with the cast off, and it is as comfortable as can be.

Sorry it took a while, we were gone when your email arrived. I'm pretty sure it will. It stretches (has elastic around the edges) and that was about the same size of the seat we used it on. We've already packed it away so I can't measure for sure but the seats on all the knee roll-abouts is pretty much the same. Hope this was helpful.

I'm about 15" around the knee, and I have the large band. I suppose you could try the medium, but remember that you can always adjust the band to make it smaller (i.e. the large band will adjust to your size). What you can't do is adjust it larger. I would err on the side of the larger band for your 12" knee. Hope this helps.

Yes, the ridged plastic covers the front and side of the knee. An elastic band surrounds the bacl of the knee also - so it is well protected.

Yes. In fact that is what I used it for because it is bigger than the knee pad and provides more complete coverage.

Yes, the velcro makes it very adjustable. Therefore it should fit while your knee is swollen and as the swelling goes down.

You need to use the sizing chart and measurement around your knee Knee........Size 12"-14"..... S 14"-15"..... M 15"-17"..... L 17"-20"..... XL 20"-22"..... XXL

Inna,I measure my knee about 15 and it fit very well with size Large. Check with the manufacture they may know exactly what size to fit well for knee size 12. I think M size should fit fine. I Hope this help.

my knee is 16.5" and I ordered a Large. It is snug, but not too much, and I wanted it that way. I hope that helps some.

The gel pack covers about one half the knee. It can be located where you want it.

It should. I had knee replacement. The single large leg goes on the outside of tub. The back fits on either side depending on which way you want to sit. You sit on outside of seat then slide over lifting legs over edge of tub.

This wrap covers the entire knee, front, sides and back. Used it several times a day during recovery of total knee replacement,especially after physical therapy exercises. Was the best investment I ever made. The velcro does pill the covering sometimes but this wrap is totally wonderful. Kept it in the freezer in its plastic bag. Totally endorse this product. Great price on Amazon. Called a pharmacy in a grocery store here and it cost about $50.

It covers the full knee, under as well. I had to remove the Velcro straps cause they pull fabric that covers cold pack. This will pull fabric apart. Wife had total knee replacement 9 weeks ago. We have other cold packs that she likes better. This one is not her favorite

Yes, mine fits perfect. As a matter a fact I have purchased another one for the other knee. I hope this is helpful.

I Had a knee sleeve for a while. I ordered a new one same size and it as a little smaller. In fact it was tight. I would suggest 1 size up. Guess they have a new company making them.

I have not experience any bunching behind the knee, but I only wear my knee sleeve during my workouts. I have never worn it all day or under my clothes. I hope this response is helpful.
