$275.00Protection After Knee Surgery
Post-operative knee braces are engineered to protect surgical repairs by controlling or restricting joint movement. Adjustable hinges allow clinicians to set safe bending limits during each phase of recovery.
Immobilizers for Acute Injury
Knee immobilizers keep the joint in full extension and are commonly used for fractures, acute ligament injuries, or short-term stabilization before further assessment or surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a post-operative knee brace used for?
A post-operative knee brace is used to protect the knee after surgery by limiting movement and controlling range of motion. It helps safeguard repaired ligaments, cartilage, or bone during the early healing phase.
What is the difference between a post-op knee brace and a knee immobilizer?
A post-op brace usually has adjustable hinges that allow controlled bending as recovery progresses. A knee immobilizer keeps the joint fully straight and prevents movement entirely, typically for short-term stabilization.
How long do I need to wear a post-operative knee brace after ACL surgery?
The duration depends on your surgeon’s protocol and the specific procedure performed. Some patients wear a brace for several weeks, with gradual adjustments to range-of-motion settings during rehabilitation.
Can I walk while wearing a post-op knee brace?
In many cases, yes. These braces are designed to allow safe walking while protecting the joint. Weight-bearing status should always follow your surgeon’s instructions.
Are post-operative knee braces tax free in Canada with a prescription?
Certain orthopedic braces, including post-operative knee braces, may qualify as zero-rated medical devices under CRA Schedule VI when supplied with a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare professional. Eligibility may vary.
Do I need a prescription to purchase a knee immobilizer?
A prescription is not always required to purchase one, but it may be necessary for tax exemption or insurance reimbursement. We recommend confirming with your healthcare provider or insurer.
