A structured paediatric knee support designed to keep the knee comfortably straight while tissues rest and recover after injury or surgery.

• Best for: temporary knee immobilisation following injury, trauma or surgery in children.
• Not ideal for: active sports use or situations where full knee movement is required.

• Lightweight padded cotton construction designed for comfort during recovery
• Integrated metal splints provide structured stability
• Adjustable straps allow adaptable fit for growing users

What is it?

The Neo G Kids Knee Immobiliser is a structured orthopaedic support designed specifically for paediatric users who require temporary immobilisation of the knee joint. Immobilisation supports the recovery process by helping keep the knee in a straightened position while muscles, ligaments and soft tissues rest.

In children and young users, injuries affecting the knee may require a period of reduced movement to protect healing tissues. The immobiliser provides structured support along the length of the leg while maintaining comfort suitable for everyday recovery situations.

The support is constructed from lightweight cotton fabric with a comfort padded backing to reduce irritation against the skin. Integrated metal splints run along the length of the brace to provide stability and help maintain the leg in a straightened alignment.

Adjustable fastening straps allow the brace to be secured comfortably around the leg while also accommodating mild swelling or changes in positioning during recovery. The immobiliser is available in four paediatric lengths, helping clinicians or caregivers select an appropriate size for different leg lengths.

Who is it for?

The Neo G Kids Knee Immobiliser is designed for children who require temporary support and restriction of knee movement following injury, trauma or medical procedures. It may be used under clinical advice or during supervised recovery periods where protecting the knee joint is important.

The support may be appropriate for younger wearers recovering from ligament strains, knee instability, soft tissue injury or post-operative procedures where controlled movement and stabilisation are recommended.

Because the brace helps keep the knee straight, it may also assist with controlled walking during early rehabilitation stages. The structure of the immobiliser helps reduce unnecessary bending or twisting that could place strain on healing tissues.

The design is unisex and can be worn on either the left or right leg. Adjustable straps allow the brace to accommodate a variety of leg shapes while maintaining a secure but comfortable fit.

What does it help with?

• Post-injury knee support – helps stabilise the knee while muscles and ligaments recover.
• Post-operative recovery – assists in maintaining a straight leg position during rehabilitation.
• Strains and sprains – supports the joint while reducing excessive movement.
• Knee instability – provides structured external support to help maintain alignment.
• Controlled walking during recovery – helps keep the knee straight when moving.
• Soft tissue recovery – allows muscles, ligaments and tendons to rest.

How does it work?

The immobiliser works by limiting knee flexion and extension through a combination of structured splints and secure fastening straps. By keeping the knee in a straightened position, the brace helps reduce movement at the joint.

This controlled positioning can help protect healing tissues following injury or surgery. When the knee remains stable, surrounding muscles and connective tissues are less likely to experience unnecessary strain.

The integrated metal splints help maintain rigidity along the leg while the padded cotton body of the brace distributes pressure more evenly. This helps maintain comfort for younger users who may need to wear the brace for extended periods during recovery.

Adjustable straps allow the immobiliser to be fitted securely without excessive tightness. This flexibility is particularly useful when swelling changes during the healing process.

Expected Comfort / Use Timeline

First use

When first applied, the brace should feel supportive and structured while keeping the knee comfortably straight. Some children may notice the brace feels firm at first as it limits movement that would normally occur when walking or sitting.

Short-term use (first few days)

During the early stage of use, the immobiliser helps maintain joint stability while the knee rests. Adjustments to the straps may occasionally be needed to maintain a secure yet comfortable fit.

Ongoing use (following weeks)

Over time, the brace may be used as directed during rehabilitation or recovery periods. As healing progresses, healthcare guidance may determine when reduced use or gradual return to movement is appropriate.

Fit & comfort check

Common mistakes to avoid

• Wearing the brace too tightly, which may reduce comfort or circulation.
• Using the immobiliser during sports or active play where movement is required.
• Expecting immediate recovery without allowing appropriate rest.
• Choosing an incorrect length that does not adequately support the leg.

How to use

1. Position the immobiliser behind the leg with the splints aligned along the knee and leg.
2. Ensure the knee is comfortably straight before fastening the straps.
3. Secure the straps starting from the middle, then adjust the upper and lower straps.
4. Check that the brace sits evenly along the leg without twisting.
5. Adjust the tension so the brace is supportive but not restrictive.
6. Follow any specific wearing guidance provided by a healthcare professional.

Technical specifications

Frequently asked questions

Can the brace be worn on either leg?

Yes. The immobiliser has a universal design and can be used on either the left or right leg.

Is it suitable for everyday movement?

The brace is designed for controlled recovery situations. It may allow assisted walking but is not intended for active sports or unrestricted movement.

How do I choose the correct length?

The immobiliser is available in four paediatric lengths. The appropriate size usually depends on the child's leg length and the level of support required.

Is the brace comfortable for children to wear?

The padded cotton backing helps improve comfort and reduce irritation while providing structured support.

Can it be used after knee surgery?

The immobiliser may be used during post-operative recovery if recommended by a healthcare professional.

Does the brace completely prevent knee movement?

It is designed to significantly limit bending at the knee by maintaining a straightened position, though minor movement may still occur.

Can it be worn with other therapy products?

The immobiliser is compatible with a hot and cold therapy disc, which may be used to support recovery where appropriate.

Complementary products

During knee recovery, the immobiliser may be used alongside other supportive products depending on individual needs. Hot and cold therapy products may help manage swelling and comfort. Lightweight compression supports may also be introduced later in rehabilitation once controlled movement becomes appropriate.

Insole or orthotic solutions may also support walking comfort during later recovery stages by helping distribute pressure through the foot and lower limb.
