Last week (August 17, 2009), WPS announced that it signed an agreement to distribute Asterisk Knee Protection products, so we wanted to show these braces to you again.
Asterisk first introduced the Cell Knee Protection System 10 years ago. The Cell Knee Protection System uses several patented design concepts that gives the Cell the ability to be totally adjustable, yet remain rigid. The frame is designed to be anatomically correct and has a carbon-fiber epoxy matrix. It is rigid, lightweight, and has an impact-distributing structure.
The hinged part tracks the natural "rolling-gliding" motion of the knee joint, because its asymmetrical design allows each hinge to set properly at the knee joint. This allows for automatic tibia alignment of lower frame. The cuff customizes to leg shape and size, and the Patella cup uses a telescoping three-piece design. It's made from high-impact Nylon 6 material and has a shock-absorbent foam padding.
The unique fastener system is made to eliminate brace slippage and to distribute pressure evenly to the back of the leg.

In May of 2006, Asterisk introduced the Germ Knee Protection System (in the photo below), which is designed specifically for kids. The Germ Knee Protection System is quite similar to the Cell, but it is made for the small knees of younger athletes. It has an adjustable cuff to accommodate growth and a rigid frame.
