Compression Knee Sleeves, CEP Class 1, 20-30mmHg

The CEP Compression Knee Sleeve delivers medical-grade 20-30 mmHg 
compression in a knitted sleeve designed for active adults managing 
knee pain, recovering from mild injuries, or looking for joint support 
during exercise. Available in both Light Support and Mid Support 
options within the same product line, this knee sleeve gives you 
choice between everyday comfort wear and higher-intensity training 
support.

CEP is the sports performance brand of medi — the German medical 
company that has manufactured compression garments for over 70 years. 
The same graduated compression technology used in medi's medical knee 
supports goes into the CEP knee sleeve, but with an athletic focus 
and moisture-wicking fabric designed for active use rather than 
purely clinical wear.

Light Support vs Mid Support:

The Light Support option provides gentle compression for daily wear, 
travel, standing jobs, and long walks. It works well for people who 
want joint awareness and mild support throughout the day without 
restricting movement. Wear it under work pants or athletic gear all 
day comfortably.

The Mid Support option provides higher compression for training days, 
running, hiking, court sports, and active recovery. It stabilizes 
the knee more firmly during dynamic movements while still allowing 
full range of motion. Athletes managing runner's knee, IT band 
irritation, or patellar tendonitis benefit from the extra support 
during workouts.

How Compression Helps Your Knee:

Graduated 20-30 mmHg compression increases blood flow to the knee 
joint, which supports faster recovery and reduces swelling after 
activity. The compression also improves proprioception — your body's 
awareness of joint position — which helps you maintain proper 
alignment during walking, running, and dynamic movement. Better 
alignment reduces the compensation patterns that often cause knee 
pain in the first place.

The gentle warmth generated by compression keeps the knee flexible 
and comfortable, particularly during cool Vancouver mornings or 
after prolonged sitting. Many users report reduced stiffness when 
they wear the sleeve consistently during activities that previously 
caused discomfort.

Who Is This Sleeve For:

Vancouver runners training on the seawall benefit from the mid 
support option during long runs and speed workouts. Hikers on North 
Shore trails wear it for downhill support that reduces knee 
impact. Office workers with mild patellofemoral discomfort choose 
the light support for extended sitting periods. Retail workers, 
teachers, and nurses standing on hard surfaces all day find relief 
with the compression support. Weekend athletes and gym users add 
it to their training kit for injury prevention during high-impact 
activities.

The sleeve also supports recovery from mild knee strains, minor 
overuse injuries, and post-workout soreness. It is not a substitute 
for a rigid knee brace after ligament injuries or surgery — those 
require different medical bracing that your physician or 
physiotherapist would prescribe.

Why Choose CEP:

The seamless circular knitting produces true graduated compression 
without the pressure points that plague cheaper neoprene sleeves. 
The preformed anatomical shape follows the natural curve of the 
knee joint, so the sleeve stays in place during movement without 
sliding down the leg. Silicone dots along the top hem prevent 
slipping without pinching the skin. The moisture-wicking knit 
handles Vancouver's humid climate and stays comfortable during 
sweaty workouts or long humid days.

Sizing:

Proper CEP sizing is based on thigh and calf circumference measured 
approximately 6 inches above and 2 inches below the knee. Sizing 
runs XS through XL for both men and women. Yaletown Medical Supplies 
provides in-store fitting to ensure the correct size for effective 
compression — a sleeve that's too loose provides no benefit, while 
one that's too tight restricts circulation.

Care Instructions:

Machine wash cold in a mesh bag on delicate cycle with mild 
detergent. Air dry only — never use heat, which damages the elastic 
fibers that provide the compression. Do not iron, bleach, or dry 
clean. Replace every 6-12 months with regular wear as compression 
gradually fades with washing and use.

Important Notes:

Consult your physician or physiotherapist about whether compression 
is appropriate for your specific knee condition. This sleeve is 
designed for mild joint support and recovery — not for acute 
injuries, post-surgical bracing, or serious ligament instability. 
Users with diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, or circulation 
concerns should discuss compression use with their healthcare team 
before wearing.
