The patella, or most commonly known as the kneecap, can be a victim of a number of injuries, the most common one being the dislocation. These injuries can be a result of numerous things, however, the most common reason is a sports injury.

The Palumbo Patella Stabilizing Elastic Dyno sleeves provides a dynamic and a medially displacing force to keep the patella in place while also allowing functional activity by providing stability throughout the full range of knee motion. It is used for the treatment of patellar instability so that surgery may be delayed or avoided. The elastic-dyno sleeves are often useful in providing stability for the patella as you start to return to your normal activities.

The sleeve prevents the dislocation, as well as the subluxation of the patella. It also reduces patellofemoral chondromalacia and arthritis with the help of dissipating the forces.
