OKD-39

KNEE INSTABILITY

Chronic knee instability is a condition in which the knee joint loses its stability and does not maintain the knee alignment and does not provide adequate support when walking, climbing and descending stairs or during increased physical activity. The abnormal function of the joint results in a feeling of the knee pain during twisting movements. The condition requires therapeutic treatment and orthopaedic support.

Product’s description:

The innovative 2-in-1 design of the brace provides the comfort of an open knee brace (easy application) and the functionality of a knee with kneecap donut (providing normal patellar tracking).

The brace offers internal compression element that stabilises the patellofemoral joint and prevents against patellar maltracking. The slightly elastic material additionally provides therapeutic compression and reduces inflammation of the joint.

The knee brace is equipped with stable side splints with the 2RA Precision anatomical hinges, reflecting the anatomic motion and providing a wide range of knee movement adjustments, meeting the custom’s requirements.

The OKD-39 knee brace has an open design, which allows the product to be applied quickly and easily without removing shoes. Ideal for elderly people with swollen knees and limited mobility.

The anatomical shape of the brace and the strong Velcro strap system guarantee an individual fit, eliminating the risk of the product slipping during use.

The OKD-39 knee brace has permanently sewn-in 3D condyle pads that perfectly relieve any bony prominences and increase the comfort of use. The knee brace is equipped with an additional 3D pad, which has a grafting function and can be easily adjusted to fill the space between the knee condyle and the splint.

Made from breathable, skin-friendly materials, it allows moisture to escape and prevents the skin from overheating, keeping you comfortable all day long.

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.

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.

ProFit™

ProFit™ is a double-layer fabric that is elastic in all directions and fits to limb precisely. The external side is made of spandex providing excellent compression and absorbs muscle shocks in physical activity. The internal side consists of microfibre, cotton and elastane what makes it skin-friendly, breathable and provides velvet softness. ProFit™ is friendly and neutral for the skin and has Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate. In some products this material can have an internal elastic cotton layer.

STIFFENINGS

Splint 2RA Precision

Splints 2RA Precision are a double axis anatomic splints which reflect the knee movement and during performance do not change their position towards the joint axis. Splints 2RA are double axis polycentric splints, with coupling mechanism with two main conductive elements which move of parabolic tracks. Such splints are mainly used in all knee joint braces and, apart from angle adjustment, the high lateral knee stabilization is very important. The splints are manufactured with high quality of sanded aluminium, durable cover which what makes splints neutral to the influence of sweat and salt. Flexion and extension angle adjustment is possible with special allen screws. Every brace is equipped with special Allen key which is necessary for adjustment. Anatomic splints provides hyperextension block, 30°, 55°, 75°, 95°, 110° flexion and 15° or 75° extension. The angle adjustment clock is secured from manipulation by unauthorized people. Standard length of the splints is: 290 and 390 mm. 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.
