POST-OP KNEE BRACE WITH ROM ADJUSTMENT

Description

Anterior cruciate ligament injures (torn ACL)

Active people often suffer from torn ACL. In USA is done more than 100 000 knee repairs (arthroscopies) every year1. Usually, it’s connected with the athletes, who train a lot of pivoting motions (soccer, basketball, American football) and skiers.

Two cruciate ligaments: anterior (ACL) an posterior (PCL) play a key role in knee stabilization. ACL prevents against shifting of the tibia (translation) with the femur and controls the rotation. The function of the PCL is to prevent the femur from sliding off the anterior edge of the tibia and to prevent the tibia from displacing posterior to the femur. Two more ligaments MCL and LCL stabilize the knee in the frontal plane. Two meniscus (medial and lateral) help to absorb forces during activity so that the bone surfaces are not damaged.

The ACL injury might be isolated (rarely) or in connection with MCL, meniscus or articular cartilage damage.

Undesirable but common injury position is called ‘no return’, which involves valgus knee with contradirectional rotation femur and shin.

In case of severe ACL injury, often common with meniscus, the treatment bases on the surgery – arthroscopy. After this repair, there is necessary to immobilize the joint in special post-op knee brace. The best knee brace solution is our new 4Scope (AM-KDX-01/1RE) knee brace with range of motion adjustment.

Product’s descirption

Our universal knee brace 4Scope (AM-KDX-01/1RE) is the best solution for post-op immobilization.

4Scope is lightweight brace to the patient’s leg. It’s equipped with monocentric splints providing flexion and extension control. The splints are made of hot covered high quality aluminium. They are anatomic-shaped what provides perfect fitting and stabilization.

The knee brace has full range of motion hinges from 30 degrees of extension to 120 degrees of flexion with 15 degrees increments. You can change the ROM easy without any additional tools. Hinges are made of plastic with carbon fibres what makes them lightweight and neutral for the skin.

4Scope is one size, because of telescopic splints and innovative press-slide system.

The knee brace has two thigh and calf straps with anatomic-shaped buckles. The straps have length adjustment what improves the perfect fitting even in people with massive thighs and smaller calves and other disproportions.

What’s more, anti-slip silicone system prevents against the brace slipping.

AM-KDX-01/1RE

4Scope is equipped with system of quick release buckles for ease of application. The system allows to ‘remember’ the length of every strap. After putting the brace on again, the system ensures the same brace fitting and compression. Buckles can be opened with one hand.

AM-KDX-01/1RE

Post-op knee brace 4Scope is universal size item for both legs to accommodate a wide variety of patients.

The product is made of Active3D™.

LOWER LIMB ORTHOSIS AM-KDX-01/1RE is a product used to limit the mobility of the knee joint after surgery, treatment and healing of knee joint injuries and as immobilization if the patient is qualified for surgery. All diseases causing deformations within the lower limb exclude the use of the AM-KDX-01/1RE brace due to the risk of permanent damage. In order to stabilize the limb in the case of deformation and degenerative changes, it is recommended to use professional steel orthoses, made in specialized orthopedic centers.

– ligaments injuries (ACL)
– knee arthroscopy
– ligaments reconstruction/replacement (ACL)
– meniscus reconstruction

Technology

MATERIALS

Active3D™

Active3D™ is thermoformed fabric made of special foamed, cell-closed designed material. It reduces the pressure on the body or any abrasions made by orthopaedic stays and aluminum splints. It is fully waterproof fabric and does not absorb sweat. It’s easy to clean. Due to its features, the fabric is an excellent product for making medical orthopaedic braces and orthoses. ACTIVE 3D™ has various external self-gripping layers. Our material has special, thermoformed properties and may be shaped according to the functional goals of the final braces.

TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

Press-slide System – Regulation of the length of splint

  Press-slide

Press-slide system is the another technological newness in our offer that we would like to introduce to You with a great pleasure. The adjuster of the length of splint Press-slide is the element of orthopaedic braces, designed especially according to the innovative rule – MiniMax (minimum choice, maximum effect). That is why, orthopaedic devices equipped with Press-slide system may be characterized by small dimensions, very low weight and significant ergonomics of usage. What is more, the system was engineered to facilitate the extension or the shortening of the splint to the patient in the most easy and safe way. Press-slide was made of special kind of plastic strengthened by fiberglass and thanks to that solution its durability is much more noticeable than in case of aluminium. Adjustment of splints is very easy – you just need to press the special button and ajustd the splint so that it would be fully comfortable for you. To make that activity easier, on the surface of the lower limb splints we placed the centimeter scale that defines the distance between knee joint and the end of thigh splint and shin splint. Regarding upper limb braces, we placed the scale that simplifies the repeatable splint adjustment.

 

STIFFENINGS

Splint 1RE

Splints 1RE – single axis orthopedic splints, used mainly in knee joint, upper limb and hip joint braces. The characteristic quality of this splint is, apart from wide range of motion adjustment in every 15 degrees, is also hyperextension adjustment in the secured range of -15 and -30 degrees. The splints are characterized by perfect lateral joint stabilization and low weight. The set-up of the angle adjustment clock doesn’t require any tools, and special safety system prevents the change of the angle by unauthorized people. The splints are made of high quality aluminium alloy and plastic with carbon fibre. They are light and neutral to the influence of sweat and salt, properly firm, assuring correct functioning of the device. The splint and its design are patented in European Union by Reh4Mat company.

PADDINGS

3D supports

3D relief supports are independent technical solutions to relieve the rigid elements of a given orthosis. These elements are made of supporting foams or EVA foam. These foams are connected with various types of skin-friendly materials and materials with an adhesive function. These pads have the appropriate shape and color adapted to the type of orthosis. They relieve both metal elements of orthoses, such as splints, stays, underwires and orthopedic drop locks, as well as other elements that should not come into direct contact with the patient's skin. These pads have an anatomical shape and are made of comfortable foam with proper hardness and elasticity, guaranteeing the proper therapeutic effect.
