Unlike any other knee brace, The Mueller's Hg80 Hinged Knee Brace is constructed of an exclusive HYDRACINN fabric, which produces a moisture wicking catalyst that prevents sweat and heat retention under the brace. The sleeve is made of an antimicrobial fabric that is uniquely breathable and extremely soft to the touch.
Compare this to standard neoprene style braces that retain heat and sweat, not to mention odor and bacteria accumulation.
The shape of the Mueller Hg80 utilizes a unique hourglass design to provide superior comfort to the thigh and leg, with uniform compression throughout the brace.
Another unique feature of the brace is the use of silicone inner grip strips on the inside of the brace, which helps prevent brace slippage and preserve high-performance support. For those athletes that have had to stop to readjust their brace during activity can attest to this common complaint.
The best feature of this brace has to be the patented triaxial hinges. This hinge provides maximum protection with near-normal knee motion. The hinge is low profile and incorporated into the fabric of the brace to prevent metal exposure.
For patients with patella instability, the Mueller Hg80 Hinged Knee offers a tibial containment system, featuring a custom secondary shell with stabilizing patella buttress and a rear support strap. The upper strapping system locks the brace in position.
The brace even comes with its own protective nylon mesh laundry bag, which is custom-sized for every Hg80 knee brace, to shield your clothes and other equipment in your gym bag or your washing machine from the hook and loop straps. The open weave design with locking cinch string allows for a thorough yet gentle cleaning. Now that is a first!
The Mueller Hg80 hinged knee brace is indicated for patella tendonitis, patella tracking and Osgood-Schlatter's Disease. It also helps protect the MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament), LCL (Lateral Collateral Ligament) and meniscus.
I have never seen such detail and features in a brace in this price range, and should be considered for anyone who has sensitivity or allergies to neoprene or latex materials. In terms of compression and comfort, this is the top of the line. When you are looking for mild to moderate knee support, the Mueller Hg80 should be at the top of your list.
It is always recommended to consult with your treating doctor to determine the correct brace for your orthopedic condition.
