What's the difference between Sports line and Medical line?Updated a month ago

Both Sports Line and Medical Line are designed with medical-grade compression, but they serve different purposes based on your needs. 

Sports Line:

✔️ Round-knit design – Provides consistent, uniform compression throughout the brace
✔️ Lightweight & breathable – Ideal for high-performance activity and injury prevention
✔️ Enhances muscle activation – Improves circulation and knee control during movement
✔️ Prevention-focused – Helps reduce the risk of injuries and supports active training

✅ Best for: Athletes, active individuals, muscle activation, and preventing knee strain during high-impact sports

Medical Line:

✔️ Flat-knit design – Offers graduated compression for a more anatomical fit
✔️ More adaptable & supportive – Designed to contour the knee and provide targeted pressure where needed
✔️ Stronger compression – Helps manage swelling, inflammation, and injury recovery
✔️ Ideal for injuries & recovery – Supports healing, post-surgical care, and chronic knee conditions

✅ Best for: Injury management, post-surgery recovery, swelling reduction, and conditions like arthritis and ligament injuries

Which One is Right for You?

👉 If you need lightweight support for sports and performance, go for the Sports Line
👉 If you need targeted compression for injury recovery or swelling management, choose our Medical Line
