Lower limb support EB-SK/P

Open anti-hyperextension knee brace EB-SK/P is the professional 1st class medical device, which infcreases the gait quality and is the support in rehabilitation of the locomotor system. It stabilizes knee joint and reduces hyperextension of the knee. It is made of a structural material ProSIX. The parts are made of innovative material called Active 3D.

The device is equipped with aluminium sides splints, which stabilize knee joint in the frontal plane. They are equipped with 2-axial construction, which is similar to anatomical joint movement and have rack and pinion, what provide regular movement of the splints. In addition, the splints are equipped with anti-hyperextension straps and their innovative construction provides adequate blood circulation. Every splint has silicone, anatomical profiles cushions, what increase stabilization. The orthosis has circumferential straps, what maintain the brace on the limb.

Purpose of use

The anti-hyperextension orthosis can be used in case of:

• knee hyperextension (after injury or congenital, e.g. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome)
• knee dislocation
• knee twist and sprain,
• side instability of the knee joint,
• knee ligaments LCL, MCL and ACL injuries,
• knee ligaments reconstruction,
• other surgeries (orthopedic).

It is possible to use a thinner pad under the drop lock.

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.

ProSix™

ProSix™ is an innovative fabric 3D, elastic in all directions and fitting to the limb precisely. The external layer is 3D material providing excellent stabilization. There is duothermic spacer foam providing high air permeability and compression inside. The skin has contact with cotton that is breathable and soft. ProSix™ is friendly and neutral for the skin and has Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate.

STIFFENINGS

Splint 2R with anti-hyperextension mechanism

Orthopedic splints 2R are the strongest and most developed orthopedic splints in the Reh4Mat offer. These biaxial splints are equipped with a ratchet mechanism and a shock absorbing spring. The splints are made of a specially hardened aluminum alloy, additionally secured with a durable powder coating. Thanks to this structure, they are light but still rigid and resistant to water and patient sweat. They are equipped with drop locks for precise regulation of joint mobility in every 20 degrees, made by means of special steel rivets. In addition, the drop lock has an external plastic cover, securing the rivets against accidental falling out, and unauthorized adjustment. On the inside, the drop lock has an oval velcro fastening, which allows to attach anatomically shaped soft 3D pads to the drop lock that relieve and laterally stabilize the knee joint. The biaxial mechanism of the orthopedic splint is the closest to the anatomical movement of the knee joint, thanks to which the orthosis does not move on the limb during use, and therefore very precisely controls the angle of flexion and extension of the joint. The ratchet mechanism additionally supports the flexion and extension of the splint and always positions its arms symmetrically. When using a splint, always lock the flexion and extension angles symmetrically on both sides, otherwise the ratchet mechanism will be damaged. A very important element of the 2R splint is the anti-shock spring, securing the knee against hyperextension, absorbing shocks and the joint tissues.

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.
