Lower limb support OKD-02

Hyperextended knee

Hyperextension of the knee occurs when the leg excessively straightens at the knee joint, putting stress on the knee structures and the back of the knee joint. It can occur to anyone, but it’s more common among athletes due to a direct blow to the knee in contact sports or due to repetitive pressures lading to the stress fracture.

Hyperextended knee is instable, swollen and painful. It is not physiological joint position leading to soft tissues degeneration, including ACL, PCL, MCL and LCL ligaments. If you suffer from hyperextension of the knee, you have to wear our specialist hyperextended knee brace OKD-02.

Product description

Hyperextended knee brace OKD-02 is a really great product. It offers full range of motion adjustment of the knee joint. The brace is equipped with innovative hyperextended joint mechanism which prevents against knee overextension.

Hyperextended knee brace OKD-02 is made of breathable, innovative fabric ProSIX™. The side parts are made of fabric called CottonPren™.

Our long knee brace supports the joint in case of sprained, strained or dislocated knee and also as a prevention. It is equipped with two, anatomic shaped aluminum splints with 2R drop lock. This hinge offers full range of motion control in each 20 degrees.

What’s more, the hinge has special metal spring which creates excellent hyperextended joint mechanism. This solution absorbs shocks and prevents against sudden knee extension. It supports tissues and cartilage surfaces inside the knee joint, including both meniscus. Our knee brace OKD-02 prevents against knee hyperextension and does not limit the joint natural motion.

OKD-02 hyperextended knee brace is recommended to everyone who suffers from the knee instability. It prevents the knee hyperxtension, supports the joint and PCL ligament. Lateral stabilization provides excellent support for knee during activity and support of the meniscus reduces swelling and inflammation.

Purpose of use

– knee sprain and strain
– knee dislocation
– knee fractures
– sprained and torn ligaments (ACL, PCL, LCL, MCL)
– knee inflammation
– meniscus injury

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

MATERIALS

CottonPren™

CottonPren™ is innovative and skin-friendly lamination. The devices, made of this material, provide excellent compression, good fitting and absorb shocks in joints and muscles. CottonPren™ is 3-layered spacer fabric consisted of external spandex with neoprene inside. This fabric is made of comfort neoprene foam with polyester lining and internal elastic terry. The skin has contact with CottonPlush, providing high air permeability and maintaining the skin dry. this layer is skin-friendly what Oeko-Tex Standard 100 approved. It’s soft and elastic what improves the compression. The fabric is very durable and can be washed time and time again without any loss of the elasticity. It makes your skin dry and it’s environment-friendly, because doesn’t contain chlorine.

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.
