The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the benefits of using the Incrediwear knee products after anterior cruciate ligament arthroscopic surgery or anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament (ACL+MCL) arthroscopic surgery, on the postoperative pain, range of motion and effusion. Participant population includes female or male patients in relative good health, 18 to 65 years old. The investigators will compare participants with Incrediwear and placebo Incrediwear products during the first 6-month postoperative period. The main question it aims to answer are: * Will the Incrediwear products help participants to decrease postoperative pain and swelling? * Will the Incrediwear products help the participants by increasing the range of motion in a shorter amount of time than the placebo group? Participants will be asked to maintain a journal documenting surgical site pain, pain medication type and quantity taken. Researcher will compare 90 participants enrolled in one of six groups, double blinded and randomly assigned, to see if the Incrediwear products assist in controlling postoperative swelling, and increase range of motion in a shorter amount of time. * ACL participants randomly assigned the Incrediwear product, placebo product, or none * ACL+MCL participants randomly assigned the Incrediwear product, placebo product, or none
Researcher will identify patients of the Primary Investigator (PI) who are candidate for the study. Subjects must otherwise be in good health as determined by medical history, physical examination, vital signs, and applicable laboratory tests and receive medical clearance for the procedure by the PI. Subjects must be able to read and sign an informed consent form indicating understand the purpose of, and the procedures required for the study, and are willing to participate and comply with the study protocol. This will be a prospective study to evaluate the benefit of the Incrediwear product…

Activated Incrediwear products incorporates semiconductor elements within the fabric that releases negative ions when stimulated by body heat. The negative ions activate cellular vibrations that increase blood flow and circulation.
