The IPF have removed the Rigor Mortis knee sleeves from the IPF Approved list effective from 18th August 2025. We are actively working to receive a response from the IPF as the IPF have reviewed and approved the Rigor Mortis knee sleeves for competition in October 2022 between the periods of 2023 through 2026.
