Original Cho-Pat Knee Strap
 For two decades, our knee
strap has been acclaimed by podiatrists, rheumatologists orthopedic surgeons,
family-practice physicians, physical therapists and their patients -- as well as scores of
professional athletes. Why? Because shortly after initial usage, it produces a marked
reduction in discomfort. What's more, when used daily, it allows most individuals to
return to work and leisure activities with increased mobility and greatly decreased
discomfort. In fact, the Cho-Pat Knee Strap can offer symptomatic relief for
acute/chronic pain associated with Patello-Femoral Syndrome and Osgood-Schlatter's
Disease. In most cases, jumper's knee, runner's knee and thigh-muscle weakness respond
well. These remarkable results are based on the device stabilizing and tightening the
mechanisms of the kneecap via the patella tendon. The knee strap reduces or eliminates
inflammation and helps prevent knees from giving out.
Warning: Do not wear to bed, or wear if you have large varicose veins crossing the knee
joint. If in doubt as to your knee pain origin, seek medical attention.

Tennis Elbow Splint
 If you're a golfer, bowler, tennis player, racquetball or baseball player,
gardener or carpenter -- anyone who repeatedly extends the arm and then applies force --
you probably know what tennis elbow is.Now there's a compression
device designed to secure and support the forearm muscles that routinely get overexerted
or strained during athletic, leisure or work activities.
The Cho-Pat Tennis Elbow Splint has a unique, reinforced extended
tongue that comfortably molds to the forearm and fastens with VelcroŽ closures. The
splint works by absorbing and dispensing forces ... relieving stress on forearm muscles
and their attachments, thereby reducing painful inflammation. |

Wrist Support
 This
device stabilizes the basic forearm muscle group at their junction in the wrist and hand.
It diminishes the shock of forces which otherwise would telescope up the forearm and lead
to forearm tendonitis.By relieving forces to the elbow during
repetitive activities, tennis elbow and its recurrence can be prevented. The wrist support
also eases discomfort due to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and is widely praised by individuals
who suffer from weak wrists. The Cho-Pat Wrist Support can be used as a
preventative device or to provide support during work or play. |

Upper Arm Strap
 Our upper arm strap is recommended for swimmers and other sports enthusiasts who
may develop painful bicipital or tricipital tendonitis. Since the discomfort produced can
influence athletic performance, the Cho-Pat Upper Arm Strap was specifically
designed to prevent painful "swimmer's arm," but is now being used in other
sports activities as well.This strap worn just above the bicep or
tricep acts as a compression device to prevent the pulling and tearing of tendon fibers.
To stay in top form, always wear the Cho-Pat Upper Arm Strap while engaged in water
and other sports activities. |
