Description
The Actimove Sports Edition Knee Support, Open Patella, Adjustable wraps around the knee instead of pulling on, closing with three adjustable straps over an open patella in a single Universal size. It is the wrap version of the open-patella support, in black, for knees that a sized pull-on sleeve does not suit.
- Wrap-Around Application – the support opens flat and wraps the knee, so it goes on without pulling over the foot
- Three Adjustable Straps – three straps set the compression and can be re-set as swelling changes
- Open Patella Design – the kneecap sits in an open window while the support works around it
The Open-Patella Support That Wraps Instead of Pulling On
Pull-on knee sleeves assume a leg that can be threaded through them, and plenty of knees, swollen, post-injury or simply larger, cannot. This support opens out and wraps around the joint instead, fastening with three straps that set the hold where the knee needs it. The open patella leaves the kneecap in its own window while the wrap supports the joint around it.
The manufacturer positions the design for painful knee injuries and for guarding against them, covering slight strains, sprains and bruising, minor meniscus damage and swelling around the joint. One Universal size replaces a size run, and the straps make the fit adjustable day to day. The support level is rated Light, for wear through training and daily activity.

Why Choose the Actimove Sports Edition Knee Support, Open Patella, Adjustable?
The choice here is application, not support level: a wrap that opens flat serves knees a pull-on sleeve cannot get over, and straps let the fit follow the knee as swelling rises and falls. Buyers who need the sized sleeve have their own listing. Buyers who need to wrap and adjust have this one.
- Goes On Without Pulling – the wrap-around design fastens around the knee instead of threading over the foot
- Fit That Follows the Knee – three straps re-set the compression as swelling changes through recovery
- One Size, No Chart – the Universal configuration removes the size-run decision entirely
- The Adjustable Open-Patella Option – the wrap version within the Actimove Sports Edition knee line
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the sized or the adjustable version?
This is the adjustable version, a single Universal size that wraps around the knee and closes with three straps. MedicalEx also carries the sized pull-on version of the open-patella support as its own separate listing, with sizes from Small to 3X-Large.
How does it go on?
The support wraps around the knee and fastens with its three straps, so it goes on without being pulled over the foot. Set each strap to the hold the knee needs.
What does it help with?
It provides secure protection to help relieve patella pain, and it is positioned for painful knee injuries and preventing knee injuries. Slight strains, sprains and contusions, minor meniscal damage and joint swelling are also among its uses.
What size should I order?
There is only one size to order, the Universal adjustable configuration. The three straps set the fit on the knee, so no size chart is needed.
Does the kneecap stay uncovered?
Yes, the patella sits in an open window in the support. The wrap and straps work around the kneecap rather than pressing a closed panel over it.
Is this the genuine Actimove product?
Yes. This is the genuine BSN Medical Actimove Sports Edition knee support, supplied in the manufacturer packaging.
