MCL Injury

Professional Solutions for Healing MCL Injuries

You don't have to suffer. You don't have to wait.
  • You can reduce the pain and swelling.
  • You can heal quickly.
You simply need the right treatment.


One Super Important Fact:


One Super Important Fact

The Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) is located on the inner side of the knee, closest to your other knee. The MCL helps you rotate, keeps your knee stable, and prevents you from extending your leg too far inward. A large amount of pressure or force put on the outside of the knee (like a direct hit) is the most common cause of an MCL injury.


Thankfully King Brand® has the products you need to help you get reduce the pain and swelling so you can heal quickly, in the comfort of your own home.


Heal Your MCL Quickly & Completely


A Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) injury can cause knee pain and instability, forcing you to take time off from your usual activities. While resting the knee will help prevent further damage, rest alone won't speed up the healing process. If you want to heal your MCL as quickly as possible, you need to relieve the pain, stimulate blood flow in the soft tissue deep beneath the skin and prevent against re-injury. Fortunately, the ColdCure® Knee Wrap, BFST® Knee Wrap, and KB Support Tape do just that.


The Ultimate Solution:


If you really want to get better, here's exactly what you need to do.


  • Do a BFST® treatment first thing every morning. Do 2 or 3 more BFST® treatments throughout the day. This will help you heal quickly.
  • Wear a ColdCure® Wrap as much as possible to relieve your pain and swelling and protect your MCL from further damage.
  • Avoid re-straining the injury as much as possible. Using KB Support Tape will help with this. Giving your knee a rest is hard, but it is very important in the early stages of healing.
  • Do this and your MCL injury can truly heal - finally.


    Blood Flow Is Essential For Healing


    You don't have to wait for endless months in pain. You can heal much more quickly with the right treatment. For an injured MCL, blood flow is the most critical element in rapid recovery. Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® (BFST®) gives your MCL the blood flow it needs to heal quickly and completely.


    BFST® brings oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the injured area - a requirement for the body to heal itself. Unfortunately, an injured MCL at rest often has restricted blood flow, which in turn limits the body's ability to heal. Physical activity will promote blood flow but all too often it also results in small but frequent re-injury, which extends your healing time and greatly increases the amount of scar tissue that develops. With a King Brand® BFST® Knee Wrap, blood flow can be stimulated in your injured MCL while you are at rest. With improved blood flow and without physical activity and the risk of re-injury, you can recover from your MCL injury at a surprisingly rapid rate.


    Cold Compression is Essential for Managing Pain


    To minimize pain and swelling, complete a ColdCure® treatment any time your pain level increases, or if you have been active. The ColdCure® Knee Wrap provides superior relief of the swelling and pain that comes with MCL Injuries. ColdCure® Knee Wraps use cold and compression together, because cold and compression are the two things you need to eliminate pain and swelling as quickly and effectively as possible. The application of cold compression must be uniform and complete if it's going to work the best, and this is why the ColdCure® Knee Wrap has been custom designed to perfectly fit the front and sides of the knee, to ensure that your MCL receives an even distribution of cooling power.


    The ColdCure® Knee Wrap is designed as a one-size-fits-all wrap. The ColdCure® Knee Wrap will wrap around your knee to a maximum circumference of 26 inches. For knee's that are larger than 26 inches, please include 2 of our Accessory Straps to extend the length of each band by 11 inches.


    Protect Your Knee Between Treatments


    King Brand Support Tape

    When you're not doing treatments with your BFST® or ColdCure® Wrap, your injured tissue becomes vulnerable to further damage. You don't want to re-injure your already fragile tissue and make your MCL injury worse. Apply KB Support Tape between your BFST® and ColdCure® treatments to provide your MCL with additional support and protection.


    Your knee moves a lot through the day, and when you're injured with an MCL Injury, you feel every little movement. You can't stop and wait for your MCL Injury to go away, so lets provide some support for your Knee, without taking away your range of motion. KB Support Tape is designed to protect your tendons, ligaments and muscles and help prevent further damage as you go through your day. It does this all without restricting your range of motion.


    Our skin is soft and elastic and can stretch much more than the tissue underneath. When you apply KB Support Tape to your skin, it becomes a much more rigid surface than before; serving to limit how much the skin can stretch. KB Support Tape makes your skin a source of outside support to hold your tissue in place, helping you avoid re-injury. That's why we call it armor for your injury.

    BFST® Devices are Electrical Medical Appliances that
    actively stimulate blood flow in injured tissue.

    BFST® devices heal soft tissue.

    Blood flow works to improve cell growth and aids in proper functioning of the organs. Our blood contains oxygen and nutrients that our body needs in order to help heal. When we're injured, blood flow to the area is usually significantly restricted. That's why promoting blood flow to the area of injury is so important. This is what opens up the blood vessels, so the soft tissue can receive the oxygen and nutrients it needs in order to heal. By promoting an increase in blood flow to the area, the extra blood flow will also carry away the waste by-products that are left over from the time of the injury.


    The BFST® Wrap is a diathermic device that stimulates blood flow deep within the soft tissue, providing nutrient-rich, optimized blood flow to your injury. Diathermy is well-recognized and accepted by the medical community as an effective means of promoting sub-dermal blood flow in order to speed up healing and recovery times. Remember, all King Brand® wraps are Class II Registered FDA Medical Devices.


    The BFST® is NOT a typical heating pad. Heating pads bring blood to the surface of your skin and make it hot to the touch. BFST® Wraps stimulate blood flow deep beneath your skin to repair your damaged tissue. Bringing blood to the surface of your skin does nothing to heal the injury deep below. BFST® Wraps work to actively heal your soft tissue injury through promotion of blood flow. Ordinary heating pads can't do this.


    Medical Device credibility is important. At King Brand® we've taken the time to make sure that all of our BFST® products perform the way we claim they will. We've taken the time to make sure that they're the safest Medical Device on the market, and provided peace of mind with our Treatment Advisors being available to support you through your entire treatment process. At King Brand® we are confident that we can treat soft tissue injuries and always stand behind our Money Back Guarantee.


    At rest, your injury is not promoting blood flow, and activity can re-injure and cause pain and swelling. The King Brand BFST® promotes circulation and blood flow while you are at rest. Thus, providing you with a safe and effective way to heal in comfort.


    People love the way BFST® treatments feel. They are very pleasant and relaxing. During treatment, you will notice a slight warming sensation. Some people also experience a slight tingling sensation resulting from the increase in blood flow. We recommend 3-4 BFST® treatments per day, spread throughout the day. The effects of each 20 minute treatment last for up to 4 hours, so even when your treatment is over, your blood flow is still working to help you heal.

    Treatment Without Drugs

    MCL Injuries can be so painful and debilitating that it causes us to rely heavily on pain killers. But honestly, pain killers are not your friend. It is understandable that you are looking for the relief from pain. Remember, though, the pain is there to stop us from hurting the area further. The pain is your body saying please stop doing that! While pain killers are a welcome relief, they can be dangerous to take when you're active. Pain killers can completely block the pain signal, making you unaware of any further damage you could be doing to your knee. Pain killers should be restricted to times of rest.


    When it comes to pain killers, some products are much more effective than others. Some can actually help your injury when used correctly and others will only make it worse. According to the National Institute of Health, our own government body tells us that Acetaminophen overdose is the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centers (>100,000/year) and accounts for more than 56,000 emergency room visits. And acetaminophen (Tylenol) won't help you get better one bit. It only puts you at risk of more injury. If you want help choosing the right pain killer and want advice on how to use it more safely and correctly, give us a call at 1-844-672-9440. We will give you excellent guidance. No charge. No purchase necessary.


    To maximize healing and minimize pain and swelling, complete a BFST® treatment right before bed. We can give you advice on medication you can take to reduce the pain and help you heal while you sleep. The BFST® treatment will work towards healing while you sleep, and the medication will work to relieve the pain and inflammation so that you can experience restful sleep. During the day, ColdCure® treatments are the best choice to continue to reduce inflammation while you are active. Our medical grade injury tape, KB Support Tape, is excellent for reducing reinjury and pain when you need to be active as well. If you're in pain, give us a call now for free advice 1-844-672-9440.

    ColdCure® Devices Reduce Pain and Swelling.

    ColdCure® Devices are NOT typical cold or ice packs.

    For dealing with the swelling and pain associated with an MCL injury, nothing works better than cold and compression.


    ColdCure® technology was developed specifically to address the need for a cold compression device that does not freeze the skin and underlying tissue. As a result, ColdCure® therapy can be applied for extended periods of time, providing superior relief from the swelling and pain that comes with an MCL injury. While King Brand® makes ColdCure® devices for all parts of the body, there's no better version than the ColdCure® Knee Wrap. Put it on and you will instantly feel relief and relaxation as it draws the pain and tension out of your MCL and your entire knee. You can walk with it on and it feels wonderful the entire time you are wearing it.


    The ColdCure® Knee Wrap is made entirely of soft, stretchy material. It comes with 3 swappable cold packs that contain our special XC RigiGel® formula. XC RigiGel® holds its form and doesn't migrate to other areas of the wrap, meaning it always stays in place to treat your MCL. The gel doesn't move, even when put under pressure for long periods of time. The gel packs are inserted inside the wrap one at a time, so you can have the other two charging in the freezer to keep your therapy going. We recommend that you do your ColdCure® treatments in 20 minute cycles of use and rest.

    KB Support Tape provides your injury with lightweight, comfortable compression to relieve your swelling throughout the day. It also prevents re-injury by providing support and protection for your injured tissue.


    KB Support Tape comes in 2 different styles: Pre-Cut Strips and a Continuous Roll. These 2 styles come in 3 different colors: Blue, Black & Beige. There's no functional difference between the colors, they just allow you to express your personal style.


    MCL Tape Treatment

    The Pre-Cut Strips of KB Support Tape are ideal for people who want to use their tape on-the-go. Since they're already cut into ready-to-use strips, you can apply and go! Each roll of Pre-Cut KB Support Tape contains 20 individual strips. Each Pre-Cut Strip is 2 inches wide and 10 inches long.


    The Continuous Rolls of KB Support Tape are perfect for you if you're looking for a more customizable Tape. You can cut the Tape into a variety of different shapes and sizes to achieve a completely unique application for your injury. Each box contains 1 Continuous Roll of KB Support Tape that is 2 inches wide and 16 feet long.


    While we found the above application to be effective for MCL injuries, it's only an example. We encourage you to try different applications for MCL injuries in order to find the one that works best for you. Also, remember to listen to what your body is telling you. Use the pain as a guide. If you feel the pain in a specific area of your knee, apply the tape there.


    The tape helps my leg. The pain is going away. This a blessing. I was in so much pain.

    The Medical Tape Advantage


    What sets KB Support Tape apart from the rest? It's not athletic tape, it's medical tape. This means our Tape is manufactured to ISO 10993 standards, which ensures that our Tape is made from extremely safe, biocompatible materials. Our Tape is actually made from materials that are safer than most baby products, including diapers, toys and clothing. Don't let the big brand tapes fool you. Most of them are made from toxic materials, because there are no standards for athletic tape. Some big brand athletic tape glues even contain carcinogenic ingredients. At King Brand®, your health and safety is of utmost importance, which is why KB Support Tape is manufactured to such high standards.


    Make Your Treatments Mobile With the BFST® Battery Pack


    This Rechargeable Battery Pack is designed to make your BFST® Wrap completely mobile. It attaches anywhere on your wrap by using the Velcro® patch included, and can be used between 10-15 treatments, depending on what level you're on. That's several days of use on just one charge! This means you can do your treatments wherever you go!, all without being plugged in. Use it wherever the day takes you.


    The Battery Pack is very high quality, equivalent to our medical devices. You can count on the last three treatments you do with the Battery being just as effective as the first three treatments. Even when the BFST® Battery Pack is draining, there is no decrease in its effectiveness.


    The Battery Pack is easily charged using your BFST® power supply. The indicator lights on the Battery let you know when it needs to be charged again. There's a lot of power in there so it takes 4+ hours to achieve a full charge when the Battery is nearly at 0. But from one full charge you'll get a lot of use!


    The Rechargeable Battery Pack is specifically designed to work with your BFST® Wrap. Your BFST® Wrap comes with the components you need for treatments and to charge the Battery. For Airline travel the Battery Pack must travel in your carry-on or in the main cabin, not in checked luggage. Of course, you can use your BFST® while you're on the plane!

    Combination Therapy
    BFST® + ColdCure® + KB Tape


    BFST® for Rapid Healing
    ColdCure® for Pain & Swelling
    KB Tape to Prevent Re-Injury

    Combination Therapy means using ColdCure® and BFST® in combination by alternating treatments, as well as using KB Support Tape between your treatments. Combination Therapy is much more effective than using just one product or the other. This is because you're getting the pain and swelling relief of ColdCure®, the healing benefits of BFST®, and the protection and re-injury prevention of KB Support Tape, resulting in the absolute best treatment for your MCL injury.


    Step 1: Reduce Swelling and Inflammation


    A very important part of treating your MCL Injury is to use the ColdCure® Wrap to help reduce not only the visible swelling you may see on the surface, but also the inflammation you may have and cannot see, deep down in the soft tissue. You can use it several times a day. Use it anytime you want pain relief and after any significant exercise of your knee even if it doesn't hurt afterward.


    You should rely more heavily on ColdCure® treatments immediately after exercise because the inflammation will continue to re-develop when you are active. Being aggressive with back to back cold treatments after exercise will give your body a chance to get ahead of the inflammation, and prepare your knee for the blood flow that's needed to help heal quickly.


    Step 2: Heal Your Injury


    Combination Therapy

    Introduce your BFST® treatments at your less active times of day and before significant exercise. Keep your swelling and inflammation under control with ColdCure® but do not use ColdCure® and BFST® close together. Use BFST® in the morning, before bed, and after longer periods of resting your injury. When doing your treatments, you should only feel a slight warming sensation. At any time if it feels HOT or uncomfortable, discontinue use as you still have too much inflammation and swelling to complete a treatment.


    Each BFST® Treatment will last only 20 minutes, but the increase in blood flow will last up to four hours. Ideally your treatments should be spaced out throughout the day, so you can promote good blood flow all day long. If you can't do 3-4 treatments a day, your two most important treatments are first thing in the morning, and right before you go to bed. This will ensure that you have a great start to your day and you can rest well at night.


    If you are planning on being active throughout the day, complete a BFST® treatment before any type of physical activity. It can be as simple as mopping the floor. Always assess how you are feeling after your activity, as there's a chance you may need to apply your ColdCure® to treat any new inflammation generated during your activities.


    The goal with your BFST® Treatments is not to increase on the levels as quickly as possible, but to condition your circulatory system to allow for the much needed increased blood flow. Staying on the lowest level to where you feel any warmth - remember it's just a slight warmth - will be the most effective way to start healing your MCL Injury. When can you move up to the next level? You can move up in levels when you feel barely any warmth from the wrap at all. This means that you've successfully conditioned your circulation and you're ready to move up. Some people can move up in a few weeks, some people it takes a lot longer. It just depends on how well your body adjusts to the increase in blood flow.


    Step 3: Treat Flare-Ups - Timing is Important


    Do a ColdCure® treatment any time you experience a pain flare-up or after any physical activity to prevent further injury and reduce swelling and inflammation. Remember, staying on top of your inflammation will allow you to complete more BFST® treatments throughout the day.


    Wait 30-45 minutes after your ColdCure® treatment before doing another BFST® treatment. This time will allow the blood flow and body temperature to regulate again. Refrain from using ColdCure® within the 4 hours following your 20 minute BFST® treatment, unless you notice an increase in pain during your BFST® Treatment.


    ColdCure® treatments will slow down the blood flow, which isn't ideal, but sometimes necessary to relieve the swelling and inflammation generated. The BFST® will increase your blood flow which is important for faster healing.


    Step 4: Use KB Support Tape


    KB Support Tape is very important to help with your injury recovery. As you move throughout the day, your skin and your tendons move with you. Using the KB Support Tape over your injury will make your skin less flexible - therefore protecting your injury - without restricting your range of motion. KB Support Tape can be used at the same time as your BFST® and ColdCure® Treatments without any issues, but try to have your first BFST® treatment of the day without the KB Support Tape applied. After your BFST® treatment has been completed, then apply the tape. Removing the tape before the last BFST® treatment of the day will provide the best results.


    Step 5: Complete The Healing Process


    When you're recovering from MCL Injuries, the pain ends long before you've finished healing. In fact, the pain is usually gone once your tissue is about 20-30% healed. The entire healing process is very complex, and takes much longer than most people realize. (You can click here for the full story). The key thing to remember is that long after the pain stops, your MCL Injury is still healing. This means you need to keep doing BFST® treatments in order to complete the healing process. Doing regular BFST® treatments for several months after the pain is gone is extremely beneficial. Do a BFST® treatment prior to any physical activity. This will act as a warm up for your circulatory system. You should also continue to use KB Support Tape to help protect the knee from re-injury.

    Medical Function - BFST® Wrap - Accelerated Healing




    BFST® Wraps are FDA Registered Class II medical devices. This means they have been designed, manufactured and tested to extremely high standards of safety, quality and performance. The FDA expects no less. Ever wonder why consumer grade products aren't FDA Registered? Because they're not as safe and effective as a medical grade device like the BFST® Wrap. And they're also not made with the same high-quality, biocompatible materials.


    The Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® (BFST®) Wrap is designed to promote blood flow in the injured tissue below the dermal (fat and skin) layer. Utilizing our proprietary Energy Web®, specially controlled and incredibly safe, low levels of EMR energy envelop the damaged MCL and stimulate blood flow in the soft tissue deep beneath the skin. The resulting stimulation brings oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the injured area, accelerating the healing process.


    BFST Power Controller

    BFST® Wraps come with a 3 level power controller. Everyone should start their treatments at Level 1 and work their way through the levels gradually as their MCL heals. Proceeding immediately to Level 2 or 3 will not speed up the healing process. You need to condition the body first.


    When you first start your BFST® treatments on Level 1, your knee will feel quite warm. This is because at first, your circulation is poor. The more treatments you do, the less warming sensation you will feel. This is good. As the warmth lessens from treatment to treatment, this is an indication that the circulation in your MCL is improving. Better circulation means blood flow all the time, not just during treatments. This is the goal. When you feel very little warmth during a treatment, it is time to move up to the next power level. Don't rush it though, more heat doesn't mean better treatment. In fact, less heat means better treatment, so take your time moving up in levels.


    The Energy Web® of the BFST® Knee device is enclosed in a soft, comfortable neoprene wrap. The wrap shapes the Energy Web® to mold around the complex form of the knee to ensure that there is an even distribution of energy over the entire MCL area. The wrap is opened and closed using attached Velcro® straps that make it easily adjustable. After treatment, the wrap does not need to be removed. The straps can even be further tightened to provide your injured MCL with snug support and protection. The device disconnects at the wrap from the power supply and controller so that you are free to move about your home when not receiving treatment, while still wearing the wrap for support and comfort. The device is incredibly comfortable to wear.


    Oh my gosh, I love it. It's the only thing that has made my knee feel better... It's great. I use it all the time. Very surprised... It's one of the best things I've bought in a long time.

    Medical Function - ColdCure® Wrap - Extreme Pain Relief



    The King Brand® ColdCure® Wrap is an FDA Registered Class I medical device. This medical grade cold compression wrap is designed for home use. Cold and compression applied to an MCL injury immediately reduces the risk of further damage from excessive swelling. Doctors and Therapists agree that controlling swelling is a fundamental part of reducing long term permanent damage resulting from soft tissue injuries. The ColdCure® Wrap exceeds all government and health agency regulatory requirements for cold therapy, specifically for use in treating soft tissue injuries.


    ColdCure® RigiGel® packs are much safer and more effective than ice and products that use mushy blue gel. Why? Because RigiGel® packs are like ice, but they stay at 32°F / 0°C. While they may start at about -4°F / -20°C straight from the freezer, after a few minutes they will go to 32°F / 0°C and stay at 32°F / 0°C for a long time. ColdCure Safe Temperature This is the ideal temperature for cold therapy, because it's cold enough to relieve your pain and swelling, but safe enough to not cause cold burns. Ice and blue gel packs will start out at -4°F / -20°C and rapidly go to 32°F / 0°C, but then their temperature will keep rising quickly, instead of staying in the safe, effective zone of 32°F / 0°C.


    While XC Gel® packs are designed to be stored in the freezer, you can store them in the fridge if you find them too cold from the freezer. If you find that the gel is too stiff from the freezer, leave it out for 1-2 minutes before inserting it inside the wrap. This will work to soften it quickly, while still retaining maximum cold capacity.


    Rest, Cold, Compression, Elevation

    Most people think that RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression & Elevation is the formula to follow when treating a soft tissue injury. The truth is that temperatures below freezing can be too cold to effectively relieve pain and swelling. And these temperatures can also be dangerous. Ice can actually freeze your skin and numb your nerves, causing 'cold burns' and even permanent damage to your underlying tissue. The proper solution is RCCE® - Rest, Cold, Compression & Elevation. We don't want to apply ice - we want to apply cold that is just above freezing. Yes, you want cold - and lots of it - but not so cold that it is below the freezing point of water.


    XC Gel® packs contain 3x more gel per lb than other packs, for maximum coverage of your MCL. When stored in the freezer, our XC Gel® packs have 10x more cooling power per lb than standard gel packs. This means they stay cold longer, so you won't have to swap the gel packs in and out as often. Longer treatment times also means faster relief of pain and swelling. Bigger packs with more gel inside, plus superior cooling power means an overall better, more effective treatment.


    Knee Coverage Zone

    ColdCure® Knee gel packs are custom designed to conform to the shape of your knee. This ensures that your MCL will receive an even distribution of cooling power. We don't just use one generic gel pack shape for all of our wraps. All of our gel packs are specially designed for a specific body part. Each body part is uniquely shaped, which is why each one of our gel packs is uniquely shaped too. This product has 100% been designed to treat MCL injuries.


    Gel packs are notorious for having hot and cold spots. Our XC RigiGel® formula helps to distribute the cold energy evenly throughout the gel pack. When cold pressure is applied to an MCL injury, the gel starts to warm up in that specific spot faster than the rest of the pack. The cold energy in our gel packs is transferred from the cold spots to the warm spots much more effectively. This is a valuable improvement as your hot, swollen injury will receive the cooling power of the entire gel pack. The temperature-balancing power of this gel formula is unmatched.


    XC Gel® packs have 2 different colored sides: a white side and a gold side. Both sides will give you all the same benefits that our high performance XC RigiGel® has to offer. The gel pack can be inserted inside the wrap with the white side facing towards your knee or away from your knee since XC Gel® packs are not side specific.

    The King Brand® products shown are FDA Registered medical devices. That is not all. They are also registered with Health Canada which means they get twice as much review.


    FDA and Health Canada Registration does not mean that we fill out a form to become Registered. Our claims are quite significant, and because of these claims the government agencies visit for week-long inspections to ensure that the end user is always receiving the safest effective medical devices we can offer. With two different countries of regulators this means our products get twice the oversight, ensuring exceptional quality and performance.


    It is not required but we are also ISO-13485 compliant and registered. This enforces standards are established by the International Standards Organization for global manufacturers of medical devices. This means more on-site week long audits every year ensuring our quality and products meet strict international standards.


    It is not required by any regulator, but we use only the safest materials in our products. ISO-10993 regulation ensures that our products are made from higher quality materials than most baby products, including diapers. This is the highest bio-compatibility safety standard in the world. This is the highest hospital grade - think Intensive Care and Operating Rooms. Our materials go through ISO-10993 testing to ensure they are safe for you. No consumer products are produced to this high standard.


    King Brand products are, in fact, hospital grade through and through. ISO-60601 is the International Standard for Medical Device safety from an electrical standpoint. In spite of the BFST® being an electrical device, BFST® can be used in hospital emergency rooms and operating rooms without affecting other equipment. You can use any medical device with a BFST® and neither device will know the other one is there. This is a very tough standard to meet, but we do it and you benefit.


    King Brand products meet over 20 different safety and quality standards that are not required even for medical devices and FDA registration. If we think there is anything that can be done to make our products safer and more effective, we have done it. That is the approach to everything we do and that is why our company and products are so highly regarded.
