Knee braces, especially smaller or short ones like cricket pad splints, slip down because they lack effective support from below or above, causing discomfort and reduced functionality.

Existing solutions like extended brace length or harnesses fail for smaller braces (losing compactness, causing friction), and no reliable anti-slip system exists for short braces.

Key Features

Adjustable elastic suspension strap for custom fit
Ultra-thin design compatible with all brace sizes
Washable and reusable

Target Users: Orthotists and physical therapists who fit patients with functional knee braces or cricket pad splints in clinical or sports medicine settings
