FORGED CARBON FRAME & ADAPTIVE CUFF
Our exclusive Forged Carbon Composite is crafted by layers of military grade carbon fiber sheets, pressed, heated & molded to optimize strength while reducing weight.
The new Adaptive Cuff increases comfort by adapting to your leg size or shape, so it accommodates muscle motion and disperses load more efficiently.
ADAPTIVE
LOWER FRAME
POD’s industry first adaptive lower frame captures and secures the leg while conforming to movement, plus reducing the risk and severity of injurious rotational forces by 54%.
Two rigid composite struts extend down each side of the tibia (shin bone) providing traditional extension and flexion control, while an innovative flexible TPU rubber bridge allows the lower frame to conform to various leg shapes, greatly enhancing comfort.

MEDICAL COMPLIANCE
The knee is one of the largest and most complex joints in the body, with three large bones held together by four ligaments that are vital for joint stability and proper function.
Because that reason, the K8 3.0 Knee Brace has been certified as a medical device to help prevent leg and knee injuries such as ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL, Rotary and Combined instabilities.
