Velpeau Ligaction Pro Open Hinged Knee Brace for Ligament Support
Choose options
If a doctor or physiotherapist has suggested stronger knee support for you or a family member, the Velpeau Ligaction Pro knee brace provides structured support around the knee while still allowing controlled movement.
Unlike a basic elastic knee cap, this is an open hinged knee brace. It uses firm side supports with moving hinges to help stabilise the knee during walking, rehabilitation and selected activities.
The brace may be considered for moderate sprains, ligament instability, selected meniscus problems and professionally guided recovery after certain knee procedures.
However, it does not heal a ligament or meniscus injury by itself. A healthcare professional should decide when this level of support is appropriate.
Velpeau Ligaction Pro Knee Brace for Stronger Knee Support
A normal soft knee sleeve mainly provides compression. However, some people need more structured support because the knee feels unstable or may give way.
The Ligaction Pro adds firm side supports and articulated hinges. In simple words, these hinges move as the knee bends and straightens while the brace continues to support the joint.
Because the design opens around the leg, you do not need to pull a tight sleeve over the foot. This can also make fitting easier when knee movement is limited.
Velpeau Ligaction Pro Terms Explained Simply
Key Features of the Velpeau Ligaction Pro Knee Brace
Open Knee Design
The brace opens around the leg rather than working like a pull-on sleeve. Therefore, it can be easier to position and adjust.
Dual-Axis Articulated Side Supports
Firm removable side stays include moving double-axis hinges. As a result, the brace can provide structured side support while allowing controlled knee movement.
Four-Buckle Fitting System
Four semi-circular buckle sections help secure the brace around the leg. In addition, support straps help adjust the fit.
Kneecap Window and Padding
The opening is positioned over the kneecap. Therefore, correct alignment is important when putting the brace on.
Left or Right Knee Use
The Ligaction Pro has a bilateral design, so the same brace style can be used on either knee when fitted correctly.
Five Sizes: T1 to T5
The brace comes in several circumference ranges. Because the sizes overlap, measure carefully before ordering.
What May the Ligaction Pro Knee Support Be Used For?
A healthcare professional may recommend this type of hinged knee brace when more support is needed than a simple elastic sleeve can provide.
Depending on the individual case, professionally guided uses may include:
- moderate knee sprains
- moderate acute ligament instability
- moderate long-term ligament instability
- selected kneecap instability or excessive movement
- selected medial or lateral meniscus conditions
- support after some meniscus procedures
- guided return to activity or sport
These are possible clinical applications rather than guaranteed outcomes. Therefore, the brace should not be described as curing a ligament injury, repairing a meniscus or preventing all future knee injuries.
Velpeau Ligaction Pro Knee Brace Size Guide
Correct sizing matters because a brace that is too loose may not provide suitable support, while one that is too tight may cause discomfort.
| Size | Knee Circumference | Thigh Circumference |
|---|---|---|
| T1 / Size 1 | 29β38 cm | 36β47 cm |
| T2 / Size 2 | 34β42 cm | 41β50 cm |
| T3 / Size 3 | 39β45 cm | 44β53 cm |
| T4 / Size 4 | 43β48 cm | 50β56 cm |
| T5 / Size 5 | 47β52 cm | 56β65 cm |
How to Put On the Velpeau Ligaction Pro Knee Brace
- First, open the fastening sections and position the brace around the knee.
- Align the kneecap opening and padding correctly over the kneecap.
- Next, secure the four semi-circular buckle sections around the leg.
- Position the support straps as instructed.
- Adjust the brace so it feels secure but does not cause numbness, excessive pressure or restricted circulation.
- Finally, bend and straighten the knee gently to check that the hinges remain correctly aligned.
If the brace is being used after surgery or for significant instability, follow the fitting method given by your surgeon or physiotherapist.
Can the Ligaction Pro Be Used During Sport?
Velpeau lists return to activity or sport among the possible uses of this brace.
However, wearing a knee brace does not automatically mean an injured knee is ready for sport.
Therefore, return to running, gym work or sport should follow the rehabilitation plan given by the healthcare professional managing the injury.
Can the Velpeau Ligaction Pro Be Used After Knee Surgery?
The Ligaction Pro may form part of post-operative care in selected cases. For example, official product guidance includes use after certain meniscus procedures.
However, knee operations differ greatly. Do not assume this brace is suitable after every surgery.
Instead, ask the surgeon or physiotherapist which brace, size and wearing schedule are appropriate.
How Long Should the Knee Brace Be Worn?
There is no single daily wearing time that suits every knee problem.
Wearing time depends on the injury, treatment plan and healing stage. Therefore, the healthcare professional should decide how long the brace should be worn each day.
Longer rest periods are also different from active periods. Unless your healthcare professional specifically advises otherwise, the brace should generally not be treated as something to wear continuously while sleeping.
Safety Tips for the Velpeau Ligaction Pro Knee Brace
- Use the brace on intact skin unless a healthcare professional advises otherwise.
- Cover wounds appropriately before applying the brace.
- Do not tighten the brace until it causes numbness or circulation problems.
- Remove the brace and seek professional advice if unusual swelling, numbness or significant discomfort develops.
- Ask for medical guidance if you have circulation problems, reduced skin sensation or other conditions that make pressure from a brace more risky.
- Do not alter structural components unless professionally advised.
- Choose the correct size rather than relying only on how tight the brace feels.
How to Wash the Ligaction Pro Knee Support
- Fasten the hook-and-loop closures before washing.
- Wash at approximately 30Β°C on a delicate cycle.
- Wash with similar colours.
- A washing bag is preferable.
- Do not bleach.
- Air dry away from direct heat.
- Do not tumble dry.

The removable articulated stays should be handled according to the supplied care instructions. Therefore, check how your exact brace should be prepared before washing it.
Velpeau Ligaction Pro for Home and Professional Rehabilitation
For a household buyer, the main benefit of this brace is structured knee support without completely immobilising the joint.
Meanwhile, physiotherapists and orthopaedic professionals may use this type of hinged support as part of a planned rehabilitation programme.
Exact-product customer feedback on Meddey mentions comfort and a secure feeling during use. However, customer reviews should not be treated as proof that the brace will remove pain, heal ligaments or prevent future injury.
