How do you put them on properly?

The patella tendon bandage consists of a front wider part, which is padded and has small burls on the inside. This part of the bandage is the functional part, which rests directly on the front of the shinbone and the kneecap. The nubs are directed towards the skin.

On one side, the bandage has a slight crescent-shaped indentation that lies around the lower part of the kneecap. It nestles up against the kneecap and can exert slight pressure from below, thus relieving the cartilage of the kneecap in particular. The patellar tendon bandage is attached to the back of the lower leg with a narrower strap that is pulled through a deflection eyelet and can be fastened with Velcro. Despite its firm fit, the bandage should be comfortable to wear and provide light massage on the front side when moving.

Application for Osgood-Schlatter disease

Osgood-Schlatter’s disease is a disease that occurs mainly in athletes. Here, too, there is an irritation of the base of the patellar tendon, causing parts of the tibial head to die off. This so-called “necrosis” of bone fragments of the tibia occurs mainly as a result of sporting overloading.

Typically, the disease occurs primarily in children and adolescents. The main symptom of Osgood-Schlatter’s disease is a typical pain of the tibial plateau after sporting activity. The primary therapy consists of sparing the knee and initially refraining from triggering sporting activities and movements.The patellar tendon bandage can support this healing process in a targeted manner and, by applying light pressure to the affected area, can lead to relief of symptoms. If the disease is progressing or has already existed on the other leg, the bandage can be worn as a preventive measure during sports.

Application for Patellar Tip Syndrome

The patellar tendon syndrome describes the inflammation and pathological change of the patellar tendon at the lower pole of the kneecap. Pain syndromes of the patella tendon are very typical for athletes and can be triggered by acute or long-term monotonous movements. The disease is also known as “Jumper’s Knee”, because the syndrome can be greatly promoted by the rapid and frequent stretching of the knee.

The pain usually announces itself frequently during sports. If it has already occurred several times or regularly occurs during sport, certain activities must be carried out more carefully in order to protect the knee. The patellar tendon brace can help to perform movements more consciously and at the same time relieve the tendon. The irritation can thus heal quickly. In the future, the bandage can be worn preventively during sports to prevent new complaints.
