just a thought , how many of us have had these knee or leg braces and what we do with them after when we dont need them , they are expensive to buy and we get them from the nhs , does any one know if they can be reused , there is nothing wrong with them ,just seems to me a waste of money , or would any one want to use 2 nd hand ones ,pretty sure that to recycle would be cost worthy

the nurse said if you don't take it home it will be thrown away....surely they could be sterilised and reused
it seems an expensive waste to me
