Spring Loaded OA
The only knee brace that offloads patellofemoral and multicompartmental OA with Spring Loaded technology- Unique solution addressing the unmet needs of PFOA patients
- Adjustable power dial designed to reduce patellofemoral joint load
- Significantly reduces pain in both flexion and extension
Targeted support for complex knee osteoarthritis
Spring Loaded OA is the only knee brace designed to simultaneously relieve patellofemoral and multicompartmental osteoarthritis (OA) using innovative Spring Loaded technology. Available in the UK exclusively from medi®.
Built with patented Spring Loaded technology and an adjustable power dial, the brace helps to reduce the load placed on the knee joint, particularly the patellofemoral compartment. It provides controlled support through flexion and extension, significantly reducing pain and restoring movement for people living with chronic knee conditions. From early-stage patellofemoral pain to multicompartmental OA, many patients find themselves in the treatment gap: too young or not suitable for surgery, and with limited relief from physiotherapy or injections. Traditional braces often fail to address patellofemoral loading, but Spring Loaded OA offers effective pain relief during flexion based activities and extension assist, helping patients regain strength, confidence, and mobility when few other non-surgical options exist. Available in the UK exclusively from medi®.
Watch real patient stories and see how Spring Loaded OA knee braces have helped reduce pain, improve mobility and restore confidence here.
- Adjustable power dial: Enables precise, real-time adjustment of offloading force on the patellofemoral compartment for individualised pain management. Maximum power dial engagement is equivalent to offloading 20kg of bodyweight across the entire knee.1
- Powerful spring assistance: Integrated Spring Loaded technology absorbs energy during flexion to reduce joint loading, then releases it during extension to support movement and significantly reduce pain.1
- The lightweight, low-profile frame is positioned along the back of the leg, and adjustable straps along the front of the leg to provide a comfortable and secure fit.
For the relief of patellofemoral and multicompartment OA
- Patellofemoral OA
- Multicompartmental/Tricompartmental OA
- Patella cartilage defects
- Anterior knee pain (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome)
- Extensor defects (caused by quad tendon patellar tendon injuries, quad weakness, patella fractures, tibial plateau injuries)
- Leg paralysis
- Severely limited quadriceps or hamstring strength
- Diabetic neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, or any venous insufficiency
