Indications

• conservative treatment of complex ligament instability, particularly in combination with unilateral osteoarthritis
• conservative treatment of advanced unilateral osteoarthritis
• post-operative pressure relief and compartmental protection after fractures of the tibial head, cartilage surgery, meniscus refixation, correction osteotomy
• instability of the cruciate ligaments with pressure relief of the medial or lateral compartment
• for functional pre or post-operative care of knee instabilities

Mode of action

• protection, stabilisation, pain relief and restoration of mobility
• pressure relief of the medial or lateral joint compartment by the 3-point principle which off loads the affected compartment into a varus or valgus position
• stabilisation of the knee joint by the 4-point principle to counteract knee instability, a cause of osteoarthritis
• safeguards against hyper-extension and offers limitation of flexion and extension

Features

• 'S' profile improves torsional stability whilst following natural alignment of femur and tibia
• hinges proximal to knee joint allow precise off loading of the knee
• polycentric hinges
• anatomically premoulded frame
• strong, low profile, light weight frame and hinge construction
• numbered straps ensure a simple fastening sequence
• air condyle pads with skin-grip system
• excellent comfort with new soft-grip padding material
• extension limitation at: 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°
  flexion limitation at: 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, 120°
  immobilisation at: 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°
• under sleeve and knee protector available
