McDavid Open Patella Knee Support

The McDavid 402 Open Patella Knee Support is a basic neoprene knee support designed to provide thermal compression and minor support around the knee. Its open patella design leaves the kneecap area clear for added comfort, making it a practical option for people looking for compression and support during exercise, training or everyday activity.

The 3.2 mm latex-free neoprene provides thermal and compression therapy around the knee. This can help provide a supportive, comfortable feel during activity and is intended to assist with the relief and healing of conditions including tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis and other non-specific knee conditions. It should not be considered a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or treatment.

A seamless section behind the knee and anatomical design help reduce pressure in an area that can become uncomfortable when a support is worn for extended periods. The exclusive five-needle stitching creates a flatter, cleaner and stronger seam.

The outer surface uses heavy-duty nylon fabric, providing a durable finish for regular use. The support is made from 100% latex-free 3.2 mm neoprene, excluding the binding and cover fabric.

Who is the McDavid 402 best for?

The McDavid 402 is best for customers looking for a straightforward neoprene knee support with an open patella design and thermal compression. It is suited to people who want minor knee support during activity and may be particularly relevant for those managing tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis or other non-specific knee conditions.

What should you consider before buying?

The McDavid 402 provides minor support rather than the more substantial stabilisation offered by a hinged knee brace or ligament support. If you have a significant knee injury, instability or an undiagnosed condition, seek professional medical advice rather than relying on a support alone.
