I have my BioSkin Visco KneeSkin brace for two weeks now and find that I can walk comfortably throughout the day without the knee pain that was turning me into a couch potato. I have two conditions in my right knee: bone-on-bone contact, and a damaged meniscus. My Orthopedic Doctor treated me with gel injections and a knee brace. This combination did not completely stop the pain, and after walking 1/4 mile I had to change to a rather unnatural gait to try and adapt to the pain. After researching the problem on the internet I determined that a compression knee brace might be helpful. I chose to try the Visco KneeSkin because it touched upon a number of points that I felt was important (i.e. wisking away moisture from the skin, etc.). The sizing chart provided left me undecided between the large and medium sizes. Max from customer service suggested that I get one of each and try them for several weeks to see which one fits best and controls the pain the best. He stated that I could then return the other one for a full refund. He even provided a pre-paid return shipper. After choosing the medium size as the best combination of comfort and pain relief, I returned the large size and contacted Max. Instead of a full refund, I exchanged the large for another medium to use on my left knee which has the same problem as the right knee but to a lesser degree. I am very satisfied.

The fit was nice and tight, which is what you need for compression. It does make it a little difficult to pull on, but actually harder to take off as there are no loops to pull down. I cut off the Velcro straps, as the Kneeskin isn't moving around on me at all. I'd suggest that BioSkin consider making the Velcro on this optional.

I am 7 weeks post-op from arthroscopic knee surgery, and was recommended to try this brace for support as I return to athletic activities. This is the most comfortable brace I’ve ever owned. It’s light, sleek and not bulky, comparably priced, and it stays in place. I appreciate the customer service department for their assistance in helping me select this specific brace, and for their help with sizing issues. This brace is worth the investment.

This is actually my second visco knee brace, the first one I wear on my right knee, the second is for my left. I am diligent to wear my brace when exercising. I thought at one point my right knee was healed and I no longer needed my brace so I went for a run without it and then realized how much support the brace gives me. I have since started having issues with the left knee. My main choice for support is bioskin.

Excellent fit. No slippage. Wear for 7 hours/day when snow skiing and don't even know its there.

Outstanding product! The Visco Knee allowed me to cycle a 100-mile/10k foot climbing day, that I had been working toward for months. A week before the event, I took a training ride on a poorly fit bike and really strained my left knee. Speaking with the BioSkin folks, they advised this brace would fit my requirements. Guess what? They were right, and I completed the big ride with no issues. A+

I haven't used the braces yet in a combat situation, but at least I can bend my knees. I appreciate the help your product specialist gave me. If you want a 5-star review, please wait until I have used them hard.

I've developed an allergy to the similar neoprene versions of this knee sleeve. The BioSkin sleeve offers the support I need without the skin irritation caused by the neoprene. Thanks!

It's been a Godsend for my knee. I can walk better now with not as much pain. Thanks!

A decade ago I suffered a tib/fib fracture along with typical soft tissue damage in the knee joint. I had the pleasure of undergoing surgery on New Year's Eve, ringing in the new year in the most pain I've ever experienced. The good news is the surgeon did a great job and I've had little trouble with the knee to date. Of course I've also babied it, choosing cycling over running and avoiding heavy weights on lower body exercises. Imagine my trepidation last month when my daughter invited us on a 3 day backpacking trip in Yosemite. This wasn't to be a foo-foo trip either. No, we'd have loaded backpacks weighing in at 40 pounds give or take. While we'd be on marked trails, there'd be plenty of rocks and ledges to navigate. I did the smart thing (for a change) and ordered this brace. I strapped it on before taking the first step into the backcountry, and had it on whenever my pack was on. The conditions were hot, dusty and sweaty but the brace never slipped or faltered. I chose the "comfortable" option over the "compression" and am glad I did. It was supremely comfortable, breathable and plenty snug. I forget I was wearing it until it gave me the support I needed during a step up or down or a twist. Never washed it in the 3 days and it didn't smell or get slippery. I have washed it since and it goes through the wash cycle like a champ. Expensive but worth every penny when being and staying mobile and strong is essential. Safe to say I couldn't have complete the trip without it.
