Bauerfeind Softec OA knee brace Indications Medially affected osteoarthritis of the knee Features The breathable, anatomically contoured knit, in addition to the large surface area in contact with the leg and excellent fit, makes the brace a pleasure to wear. The SofTec knit provides a high degree of tension stability and the greatest possible muscle play. Two pads over the proximal and distal edges of the patella indicate the correct fit of the orthosis. Two zippers allow for easy fitting. Four non-elastic straps on both the upper and lower legs permit fine adjustment and secure the orthosis against any rotational forces that occur during movement. The anatomically contoured carbon-fiber sidebars can be heated and reshaped. The shells are connected by an extremely efficient, flat, duo-centric hinge that ensures effective load transfer of the whole system to the leg. The patient can adjust the valgus pressure at any time as required by filling and emptying the air bladder. Silicone pads are positioned between the air bladder system and the surface of the leg. Prior to any modifications or washing, the functional element can easily be removed from the fabric pocket of the knitted section by undoing the Velcro fastenings. Mode of action The functional element with the tensionstable knit and strap system relieves the medial knee compartment according to the 3-point principle. The valgus force can be varied individually by the patient according to the symptoms. The knitted section helps activate the muscles, and thus stabilize the joint, via sensomotory mechanisms. Its support effect accelerates the decline of soft tissue irritation, oedematous swellings and joint effusions. Want to ask a professional? click here to email us Click here for our returns policy
