Take the pressure off the painful side of your knee with the medi Soft OA light, a soft knee brace designed to relieve one-sided (unicompartmental) osteoarthritis of the knee. Using a patented 3-point relief principle, it gently offloads the affected inner or outer compartment during movement, helping to ease pain while keeping you mobile - all in a slim, lightweight design you can wear discreetly under clothing.
The medi Soft OA light works on the clinically established 3-point pressure relief principle. A patented strap system applies gentle, targeted correction that reduces load on the worn side of the joint and helps guide the knee, so weight is shifted away from the area causing you pain.
The level of varus or valgus relief is set with an easy strap system and a numbered scale, so you can increase or ease off the correction yourself to match your comfort and activity - no tools and no clinician needed for day-to-day adjustment. Optional wedges can be added to limit how far the knee extends or bends where required.
A slip-in wrap construction makes the brace simple to put on and position correctly. The knitted "comfort zone" keeps the straps away from the sensitive area behind the knee, and the breathable, lightweight fabric supports the joint and improves your sense of its position (proprioception) without feeling bulky. Available in six sizes (XS-XXL) in a discreet grey, for both men and women.

It is a soft brace for one-sided (medial or lateral) osteoarthritis of the knee. It offloads the affected side of the joint to help reduce pain and support movement. It can also be used following meniscus treatment where compartment relief is advised.
The brace is made for either medial (inner) or lateral (outer) relief, so choose the option that matches your affected compartment. For size, measure the circumference of your thigh 15 cm above the centre of your kneecap and compare it with the size guide. If you're unsure, contact our team or your clinician.
Build up your wearing time gradually, starting with a few hours a day. Many people wear it during activity or when on their feet. Follow the advice of your clinician for your individual situation.
Yes. The brace is designed to support you while you stay active, and gentle strengthening exercise is generally beneficial for osteoarthritis. Ease off if you feel discomfort and seek advice if pain persists.
Remove any aluminium hinges and wedges before washing the fabric parts, and allow to air dry. Always follow the washing instructions in the medi instructions for use supplied with your brace.
