Hip support AM-SB/1RE

HIP DISORDERS

The hip joint is the largest joint in the human body with a wide range of mobility. The hip supports the entire weight of the human body and is therefore subject to stresses from which it can be affected by a wide range of disorders, including various types of inflammation. There are a number of conditions that can cause pain in the hip joint. The most important include osteoarthritis, RA, ankylosing spondylitis, fractures, strains or osteoarthrosis. Regardless of the cause, immobilisation and pressure relief of the hip is necessary to reduce joint pain. For this purpose, the AM-SB/1RE professional hip brace with an abduction function and adjustment range will prove useful.

Product’s description:

The AM-SB/1RE hip brace prevents internal rotation of the joint and uncontrolled dislocation in the conservative treatment of hip disorders and as post-operative protection. The use of the product is also recommended after hip arthroplasty.

The brace is made from two main: a waist and thigh soft part and an aluminium splint with a drop lock offering wide range of adjustment.

The soft elements have a wide range of circumferential adjustment. Made of ultra-light Active3D™ waterproof 3D formed material, they prevent excessive perspiration and increase comfort. The soft waist and thigh belt adapt well to the anatomy of user’s body. The unique lamination of the highly breathable materials helps to effectively absorb moisture, sweat and keep the skin dry. The product is very comfortable to wear throughout the day and application and removal is intuitive and very easy.

Side aluminium splint offers wide range of motion adjustment in every 15 degrees, improving hip stability and reducing inflammations and painful syndrome.

The splint is equipped with an innovative Press-slide system that allows length adjustment and a perfect fit to the user’s anatomical dimensions.

In addition, the splint offers physiological hip abduction, keeping the leg in the neutral position, improving healing. It prevents hip dislocation and internal rotation deformation.

The AM-SB/1RE hip brace effectively reduces inflammation of the hip and the soft tissues of the groin and thigh. By maintaining a physiological position, it also offsets the negative effects of sciatica or hip bursitis. The unique design provides constant compression that can be adjusted to the wearer’s individual needs, providing the ultimate in comfort and relief during recovery from injury, surgery or muscle strain.

Our AM-SB/1RE hip abduction brace with ROM adjustment reduces the pressure on the thigh, protects the thigh from further injury, reduces inflammation, and boosts blood flow to injured muscles, accelerating the healing process.

Purpose of use:

• osteoarthritis / chronic inflammation of the hip joint
• hip arthroscopy / hip capsulotomy
• po-op and non-surgical hip use
• reconstruction of tendons and muscles of the hip girdle
• conservative treatment
• Femoral Acetabular Impingement (FAI)

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.

ActiveDistance™

ActiveDistance™ is an technical off-loading lamination with 3-layered construction. It’s made of EVA foam double-sided laminated with non-elastic polyamide layer that is easy to attach. This self-gripping function of ActiveDistance™ provides wide range of adjustment and perfect fitting. What is important, ActiveDistance™ is non-elastic fabric so it stabilizes your body in a perfect way. Thanks to using the comfort foam, the device is really soft what influences on the comfort of using it. Waterproof material.

TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

Press-slide System – Regulation of the length of splint

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 1R ERGONOMIC WITH OUTWARD ROTATION

This brace is equipped with two splits with ROM adjustment flexion (A) in the scope of: 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°,60°, 75°, 90°, 105°, 120° and extension (B) in the scope of: -30°, -15° , 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90° and the possibility of setting up a visiting (D) in the scope of: 00, 150, 300. 1. Place the brace in the position in which you want to adjust the flexion (A) or extension (B) (fig.1) 2. By pressing the buttons (A) and (B) - delimiters to the center of the splint move them around to the desired place with the prescribed angle (fig.1) 3. Look buttons with the special lockers (C) included in this kit (fig.2) 4. Loosen the screw with an Allen key (fig.3). Set the appropriate angle value visiting (D) and tighten the screw 5. Check the correctness of operation and the range of clock movements

THE ANGLE OF FLEXION AND EXTENSION IS SPECIFIED BY THE DOCTOR OR PHYSIOTHERAPIST!

ATTENTION: If the brace is equipped with 2 side splints, adjustment is done on each side splint separately setting the same angle of flexion and extension. Side splints do not require maintenance

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.
