The Bio Skin Gladiator – Front Closure uses a rigid hinge to effectively protect knee ligaments, including during the post reconstruction phase. The brace uses a rigid strapping system to firmly anchor itself to your leg and avoid the need for more expensive knee braces. The brace uses an easy on/off front closure design and has pins for the hinges that you can set to control the degree of flexion and/or extension.

The Bio Skin Gladiator – Front Closure knee brace features a rigid hinge that protects knee ligaments, including during the post reconstruction phase. The Gladiator – Front Closure uses a rigid strapping system to remain firmly anchored to your leg. This avoids the necessity for larger, more costly braces. This knee brace uses a front closure design to simplify application and removal. This feature is especially valuable to those with limited manual strength and/or dexterity.

As illustrated below, the Gladiator – Front Closure uses hinges with adjustable range of motion. You can adjust the hinges using pins to set limits on the extent of knee extension and/or flexion. Consequently, like the CrossFire ROM, this is a range of motion (ROM) knee support.

Ultima 2SL

As with other Bio Skin knee braces with a front closure design, the Bio Skin Gladiator- Front Closure uses their patented Ultima 2SL material. Ultima 2SL supports a wrap around design by utilizing Velcro compatible closures that can adhere anywhere on the front of the support to accommodate virtually any leg shape. For those with allergic or other sensitivities, Ultima 2SL is hypoallergenic and completely free of latex and neoprene.

The effectiveness of the Gladiator – Front Closure in pain reduction and healing is further enhanced by its use of Cropper Medical’s SkinLok™ feature. This increases the brace’s adherence to your skin in response to moisture sources such as sweat, water or even lotion. This reduces brace migration (even during vigorous exercise) and promotes pain reduction and accelerated healing.

The Gladiator – Front Closure also uses a silicone gel ring that surrounds the patella and helps control swelling and reduce pain.

The brace is 15″ long and uses a pull on design for maximum compression. It is also an open patella design for superior comfort and a cool and dry wearing experience even after prolonged wear.
