A knee cap is a slip-on compression sleeve that eases knee pain, warmth and mild swelling and gives your knee gentle daily support — for arthritis, long standing, walking and light activity. Here's how to pick the right type, size and wear it, plus how to wash and care for it.
Different knees need different help. These are the common types we stock — including Tynor.
Simple compression sleeve for everyday pain, warmth and mild swelling.
Hole over the kneecap relieves pressure and helps tracking.
Silicone ring centres the kneecap — good for tracking pain.
Breathable 4-way stretch knit for an ergonomic, all-day fit.
Knee giving way or unstable? You may need a firmer brace — see knee braces & supports.
Knee caps are sized by limb circumference, not by your clothing size. Measure with a soft tape, then match the brand chart (S/M/L/XL).
Unsure? We measure and fit you in-store.

A knee cap eases everyday aches — it's not a substitute for diagnosis. See a doctor if you have severe pain, a knee that locks or gives way, can't bear weight, marked swelling, or pain that isn't improving.

For everyday arthritis pain, warmth and mild swelling, a plain compression knee cap or open-patella type works well. If the kneecap feels unstable, a patellar-ring/silicone-pad cap helps centring. If the knee "gives way", you likely need a hinged brace — ask our pharmacist.
A knee cap is a slip-on compression sleeve for pain and mild support. A knee brace is firmer — with straps or hinges — for instability, ligament strain or post-surgery. Caps = comfort; braces = stability.
Measure your thigh circumference ~15 cm above the knee and match the brand chart. It should be snug, not tight — no sliding, no pinching. We measure and fit in-store.
Hand-wash in cold/lukewarm water with mild soap, don't wring or bleach, and air-dry in shade. Avoid hot water, dryers and direct sun, which ruin the elastic.
