Knee osteoporosis

OA knee is a condition that causes joints to become painful and stiff. Reduced joint mobility makes it stiffed and swollen. Knee osteoporisis is considered as one of the lifestyle disease. Some people also have symptoms such as a tenderness or grating or crackling sound. The exact cause of OA knee is not known, but several things are thought to increase your risk of developing osteoarthritis, including weight (obesity), age (over 50.) or sex (being a woman). In osteoporosis disease, the protective cartilage on the ends of the bones breaks down, causing pain, swelling and problems moving the joint. Bony growths can develop, and the area can become red and swollen. Osteoarthritis is a long-term condition and cannot be cured, but it doesn’t necessarily get any worse over time and it can sometimes gradually improve. Mild symptoms can sometimes be managed with simple measures such as exercises, weight control and professional single upright brace with hinge and strap SPEEDERO.

Product’s description

Single upright brace SPEEDERO reduces painful syndromes associated with knee osteoporosis. SPEEDERO is a realigning brace for patients with knee osteoarthritis induce a valgus or varus torque on the knee. Its aim is reducing contact stress in the involved medial or lateral knee joint compartment and releasing the pain.

Single upright brace SPEEDERO is a effective combining of soft sleeve with aluminum frame and strap.

Aluminum knee frame with 1RP hinge maintain the knee in alignment and offers smooth range of motion adjustment.

Single upright brace SPEEDERO offers 3 point of leverage for reducing pressure inside the knee joint. It is highly recommended in knee degeneration, MCL injures connected with knee instability.

Single upright brace SPEEDERO with hinge and strap is made of AeroSpace™ – high tech fabric.

Aluminum elements are covered with offloading 3D fabric ActiveSpace™.

Single upright brace SPEEDERO with hinge and strap is a comfortable, lightweight, low-profile brace with 3 points of leverage for reducing pressure outside the knee joint. Designed for reducing knee pain caused by unicompartmental ostearthritis of the knee and often helps delay the need for surgery.

• 3 points of leverage
• low-profile comfortable fabrics
• range of motion adjustment
• fast and easy application

Purpose of use

• OA knee (osteoporosis, arthritis)
• knee dislocation
• skręcenie stawu kolanowego
• knee strain or sprain
• knee instability
• knee ligaments injures – (MCL and ACL injury)
• knee ligaments reconstruction
• other surgeries (orthopedic)
• protection in sport

ATTENTION! For safety reasons, it is necessary to lock the splint in its extension position (B). Failure to block the extension angle may result in uncontrolled hyperextension of the knee joint.

MATERIALS

ActiveSpace™

ActiveSpace™ is a spacer, polyamide 3D lamination with high skin ventilation. It is very lightweight, consisted of 2 layers. Between them, we use polyamide braids. ActiveSpace™ is not elastic what improves stabilization. Inside the lamination, between 2 layers, the air flows freely, maintaining minimal water and moisture absorption. Waterproof material.

AeroSpace™

AeroSpace™ is an innovative new generation raw material. It is a distance elastic 3D knitted fabric consisting of two layers of facings and an interlacing that creates the appropriate thickness of the raw material and has relieving properties. The knitwear is made of the highest quality polyester yarn - guaranteeing high mechanical strength and spandex ensuring its proper flexibility. This material is characterized by a very low weight, high flexibility and a very large openwork structure, allowing for very easy drainage of sweat from the body and bringing fresh air to the skin. Products made of this raw material are neutral to the secured joint, do not heat or cool it, but ensure its proper compression and fit and reduce muscle vibrations generated during physical exertion. Its thickness and 3D structure perfectly relieves the orthopedic splints, stays or other elements mounted on the product and guarantees velvety softness to the touch.

STIFFENINGS

Single axis splint 1RP

Single axis splint 1RP is designed to work in very heavy conditions and allows for transfer loads. This type of splint is primarily used in knee orthoses, where strong lateral stabilization of the knee joint and precise regulation of its mobility are essential. They are used in orthopaedic braces that were designed for heavy patients or for people who use them in extreme conditions. The arms of the splint are made of high-quality hardened steel, hot-coated with a durable powder coating, which makes them very strong and indifferent to the effects of patient’s sweat and salt contained in it. The drop locks are made of very durable and strong acid-resistant steel in which a special hole system with threads were made. The splints are waterproof and can be used in wet and humid environments.

The splint is equipped with the hyperextension knee lock and has following angles of joint flexion: 30 ,50, 70 degrees and the following angles of joint extension: free joint, 20 degrees. The ROM adjustment is made with a special, hardened screws placed into threaded holes marked with a specific angle value we want to lock. In this kind of splint, you can lock not only the angles of flexion and extension of a knee joint, but also the desired range of knee joint movement. Each brace equipped with 1RP splint comes with a free Allen key for these settings. This method of adjusting drop locks in orthopedic splints prevents from their setting by unauthorized persons who do not have a key. The bottom part of the drop lock has an oval shape that allows you to attach a soft anatomic pad made in 3D technology that separates drop lock from the knee. All movable elements of the splints move on galvanized steel rivets and in order to prevent them from seizing, special Teflon sliders were used in these places. Such a construction ensures their maintenance-free operation.

ATTENTION: If the brace is equipped with two side splints, the adjustment should always be made separately on each of the splints, setting the range of motion at the same angle of flexion, extension or lock. Failure to comply with this role will be resulted in the loss of the product warranty.
