PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The SecuTec OA knee brace unloads the lateral or medial compartment of the knee according to the 3-point principle. It also provides knee joint stability according to the 4-point principle. This relieving effect reduces knee pain and improves mobility in conditions of moderate to severe lateral or medial knee osteoarthritis, allowing it to support various healing processes in post-operative care.
Reduces pain, stabilizes and unloads knee joint
People with arthritis as well as varus or valgus alignment issues experience pain due to the condition’s added pressure and stress on one side of the knee, which shifts the load-bearing axis to one side. The SecuTec OA relieves pain by unloading the lateral or medial pressure according to the 3-point principle. Its anatomically contoured hard-frame design adds stability for the knee joint based on the 4-point principle.
Easily adjustable hinges and frame
The SecuTec OA is designed with tool-free adjustable hinges at the knee joint to allow flexion, extension and immobilization. Extension and immobilization can be adjusted in 0°, 10°, 20°, 30° and 45° angles. Flexion can be adjusted in 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90° angles. The adjustable hinges include a quick snap closure system to allow for a consistent fit and added convenience. As an unloader knee brace, its lower leg frame adaptive calf cuff can be adjusted up to 25° in each direction to distribute pressure gently and promote varus or valgus relief.
The upper and lower leg frames of the brace can be combined in various sizes – depending on the patient’s leg circumference for the perfect fit.
Low-profile, lightweight design for all-day comfort
An anatomically contoured, high-grade aluminum alloy frame allows the SecuTec OA to be low-profile and lightweight for a comfortable fit. It also includes soft straps with removable Velcro microfiber cushions, an adaptive calf shell and gel condylar pads. The condylar pads include insertable wedges to extend the contact surface at the side of the knee for optimum pressure distribution and a precise adjustment.
