McDavid

McDavid Inc. designs and markets sports medicine, protective equipment, and performance apparel for active enthusiasts and athletes. Founded in 1969, when Dr. Robert F. McDavid Jr., the company's namesake and founder emeritus, created the first widely used protective knee brace for football. After a period of grass roots growth, the company incorporated as McDavid Knee Guard Inc. in 1980.

Today, McDavid products top the recommendation lists of pro athletes, sports medicine professionals and athletic trainers. From the research backed ankle braces to compression shorts with patented technology, McDavid products address both the broad range and the specific needs of professional ‐ and every day ‐ athletes across a variety of sports.
