mediortho® Knee



Features

  • exact and effective valgus or varus pressure exerted close to the knee joint
  • wide, well cushioned frame padding for the 3-point pressure relief system
  • malleable frame design to reduce torsional forces
  • ultraflat, very light weight and non protruding frame and hinge construction
  • pressure relief of the medial or lateral hinge compartment by the 3-point principle which off-loads the knee into a varus or valgus position
  • stabilisation of the knee by the 4-point system to counteract knee instability which often causes osteoarthritis
  • extension limitation at: 0º, 10º, 20º, 30º, 45º
  • flexion limitation at: 0º, 10º, 20º, 30º, 45º, 60º, 75º, 90º, 120º
  • immobilisation at: 0º, 10º, 20º, 30º, 45º
  • undersleeve available upon request

protect.4 OA

4-point rigid knee orthosis for control of anterior and posterior tibial translation.
3-point off-loader for varus-or valgus pressure relief.


Indications

  • conservative treatment of advanced unilateral osteoarthritis or complex ligamentous instability, particularly in combination with 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

  • 4-point rigid knee orthosis for control of anterior and posterior tibial translation. Protection, stabilisation, pain relief and restoration of mobility by:
  • 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 instablity which often causes osteoarthritis
  • safeguards against hyperextension and offers limitation of flexion and extension
