This is a short knee brace that can be used for post-op as well as during rehab. It’s made from the ARX® Mesh material that provides very good ventilation, no moisture absorption and dries quickly. This model has a full length anterior opening which makes it easy to apply by wrapping it around the knee joint. It’s fitted with four half-circular straps that allow you to apply anterior or posterior support over each strap to create a shear force over the joint.
The knee hinge can be adjusted directly on the patient without having to remove the brace. Simply open the hinge cover and set the pins. The four pins are made from stainless steel and can be set in extension: 0°, 15°, 30°, 60°, 90° and in flexion: 90°, 60°, 30°, 15°, 0°. The hinge can also be completely blocked in: 0°, 15°, 30°, 60°, 90°. The cap over the joint has a safety lock that snaps in place to secure it.
