About Kay Kare:
Kay Kare, a women-owned small business founded by occupational therapist Kay Leckman, creates user-friendly, neck-strain-free shoulder braces. Frustrated by existing products, Kay designed simpler, more supportive braces, including the unique Double Arm Brace for Lou Gehrig’s Disease patients.

Kay Kare’s patented “open flap technology” ensures better fit, limb safety, and comfort, without neck straps. Independent studies rank it best for ease of use and comfort. Kay Kare’s compact, lightweight design has earned a Tech Breakthrough Award for innovation.

Kay Kare Innovative Technology

Kay Kare has a US patented “open flap technology”. The shoulder brace is designed in an open flap that rolls over the arm forming a sleeve and securing the arm in place with one Velcro strip. Instead of trying to fit the arm in the brace, brace itself fits over the arm perfectly to the contour of the forearm with no hanging elbow pockets or drooping wrists, better for limb safety and positioning. The arm is positioned in preferred anatomical position with one waist trap that buckles in the front. There is no strap pulling on the neck. An independent study done by Virginia Tech, compared Kay Kare Single Arm Shoulder brace to 4 other leading shoulder brace technologies in the market and ranked Kay Kare Best for ease of use, comfort, its speedy application and smallest learning curve to understand it’s application instructions. Through an EMG study, Virginia Tech also concluded that with ONLY ONE WAIST STRAP, Kay Kare shoulder brace stabilized the shoulder just as good as others were with multiple straps and buckles.

Kay Kare application design is light weight and compact, better for mobility in tight spaces.
All straps have a cloth binding and are made of the material of the brace itself, as opposed to webbing for better skin care.

Kay Kare also won a Tech Breakthrough Award by Premier Inc for its innovation in shoulder braces.
