How thin is the pack? I dislocated my knee and need something that can fit inside the brace/immobilizer without pressing the joint too much.

The pack is 3/4 inch thick so you would have to one inch space between you knee and the brace all the way around. If you have the space this product is excellent.

They are 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick. They are the greatest invention ever! They are flexible and stay cold a long time!!

I have one for my rt. knee while it gives the mental effect of stability I would be very careful torquing your foot as this is a much softer brace unlike the ones with sturdier metal supports. It advertises metal but feels very flimsy the three Velcro fasteners I like and very comfortable under pants or jeans but for athletic activity I would worry about it.

The spiral stays were not stiff at all and were actually part of the fabric of the stabilizer, not what I would consider a "stay." I also had a brace with a flat metal hinged support on each side of the knee. The metal supports bent with the knee but the supports didn't really have a hinge. This brace supported the knee fairly well but did not last long because as the metal supports bent they rubbed against the material of the brace on the outside of the knee and wore holes in the material. Hope this helps.

My knee is swollen so it rolls down if I put it on the whole way, but it rolls less than any other I have tried. I use the smaller ones in place of support hose...(up to the knee)...they are easier to put on and never roll. Futuro gives more support than others.

Recommend a larger one such as the "Cold Pack - ColPaC Brand - Blue Vinyl - Oversize - 11" x 21" by ColPac" The larger the item, the longer it will stay cold. One of these and an ace bandage to fix it to the joint can really help.

It's a soft pad, not really designed to provide structural support. You could put it inside your pack, but if you pack your backpack like I do, you're liable to damage it trying to get it in with all your other gear.

I only use the brace to control the sideways movement of the knee. I don't know if it would hold up to the rigors of basketball or football. I would not hesitate to use it for hiking - with the proper adjustment. I would say there is tension on the hinges, because, with proper adjustment, there is no tension on the knee!

I feel like this pack does not anchor down very well. My dog is big and it still floats to one side even when it is empty and it does not hold its shape. Other dog packs that I have used have had a much better fit and design. To answer your question- it is my opinion that a skinny dog needs a better skeleton and padding design to their pack. At least that is what I was left wishing for.

I think this would be perfect for a knee. It holds the cold for a long time. The folds/seams should allow the ice pack to cling to your knee well. Have a small towel to put between your knee and the icepack. Good luck and have a quick recovery.

The number of the large size (ends in 512C) is ~9 tall x 20" wide and has a shape a little like a red hot pepper. The straps are velco and can cinch the gel bag inside the cover pretty well. If you are thinking of active walking with the bag on your knee, give that idea up unless you have a trouser leg over the gel pack. The pack is just great when it frozen.

Yes I had the same problem. The med was like a rubber band around my knee. I returned it and got a large and it was great. This one is the best for knee problems. I have tried ones that cost more but the problem is the bigger or thicker it was, i got what felt like blisters from them. The ones with straps kept adjusting them because they would slip down. This one doesn't do that. It stretches in every way and has plastic stabilizers to make the knee stronger. You just try it. I got my first one from RiteAid Drug Store. You can go there to try it on before you buy one. That is where I got my first one. Amazon has them cheaper. Good luck! Yes I had the same problem. The med was like a rubber band around my knee.

Hey, it folds very easily actually...it's not really heavy, but made of metal, so if you're a tiny woman, you may have issues, but perhaps not. Regarding the knee pad, it's fantastic. Prior to owning this gem of a device I was quite limited with crutches; however, I easily went all over university campus and on my hardwood floors with my ruptured Achilles tendon. For the price and what it permits one to do, it's simply amazing. I hope this helps.

I used the universal pad for my son's knee surgery. It comes with velcro so you can tighten it up how you want it.

I don't think this would be the brace you want for sports, as that type appears to fit much tighter. This brace will remove weight off of your knee if applied correctly; but the amount of tension required could become uncomfortable on a long hike. The knee hinge is geared and almost friction free, the tension is not adjustable. It worked fantastic to keep the weight off of the tibia plateau for the eight week healing period. It allowed for moderate amounts of walking when the diagnosis was eight weeks of zero weight on the knee joint.

My shield is similar in size. It does sit a little to deep in the pocket for a rapid deployment. I sewed mine to make the pocket more shallow. No complaints.

Btw, if this is for a knee replacement you will most definitely need packs for the back of the knee.

I think y u can use it. My dad uses it. So I donot know exactly. But this one can fit any fat or thin knees since it is freely wrapped
