Elastic kneepad - comfortable and reliable knee protection against sports injuries

Sports strengthen the body, but they also increase the risk of injury. When running, soccer, basketball, volleyball or other intense physical activities, knee joints are most often affected. If they are not protected in time with knee pads, sports will soon be forgotten.

What is an elastic kneepad?

A kneecap is an elastic bandage that supports and stabilizes the knee joint and protects it from overloading. They can be made of different materials. Lauma Medical manufactures elastic knee pads made of 62% cotton, 28% latex and 10% polyamide.

This bandage is hypoallergenic, elastic, does not cause sweating of the skin and does not prevent it from “breathing”. Thanks to its natural composition, the Lauma Medical kneepad can be worn for a long time without any discomfort.

Why do athletes need knee pads?

Although a kneecap is just an ordinary elastic bandage, it performs a number of important functions:

reduces the load on the knee and distributes it evenly - this reduces the risk of damage to individual structures of the knee joint (e.g. its cartilage, ligaments or tendons);
supports and stabilizes the joint - it is very easy to sprain ligaments or dislocate the knee during intense physical activity, sharp turns, jumping;
protects against injuries in case of impact (ball, other player) and falls - in this situation the kneecap serves as an additional protection for the knee;
prevents chronic damage to the joint - constant stress on the knee can lead to chronic inflammation of ligaments or tendons (tendonitis), which over time will limit the mobility of the joint;
reduces pain and the intensity of the inflammatory process if an injury has already occurred.

Please note: the inner layer of the Lauma Medical elastic kneecap performs a “micro-massage” of the knee, which increases blood circulation in the joint area, reduces swelling faster and restores mobility.

How do you use a kneepad?

The elastic kneepad effectively protects against sports injuries and improves training results, but only if used correctly.

Key recommendations:

choose the right size of the elastic bandage - it is important that it does not slip during sudden movements and is not too tight. The kneecap should fit tightly to the knee, but not cause any discomfort;
should be worn during periods of increased activity, but not all the time. Constant use of an elastic bandage can weaken the muscles and ligaments of the knee joint;
Properly care for the elastic bandage, such as hand washing to maintain the elasticity of the material.

Lauma Medical offers 4 sizes of elastic knee pads - from XS to L, so they will fit people of any height and weight.
