OA knee braces for all stages of the disease

OA knee braces are used in conservative as well as in pre- and postoperative therapy. They are characterised by a high level of user comfort and ensure relief of the affected area. Pain can be noticeably alleviated. This helps mobility and activity in the patient’s everyday life.

medi Soft OA light and medi Soft OA: effective relief of the knee joint

In the case of knee osteoarthritis, wear causes cartilage damage in the knee joint. This is often caused by the misalignment of the leg axis. This is where the new medi Soft OA light and medi Soft OA orthoses come in, because both work according to the 3-point relief principle. Thanks to the patented, dynamic belt-tensioning, the knee receives maximal relief only when the load is highest – in a stretched-out position during walking or while standing.

Putting on the braces is very easy thanks to the split wrap construction on the thigh and the slip-on design. This is particularly beneficial for older patients. Thanks to the intelligent design, both braces are easy to use. The compressive medi Airtex+ material used on the medi Soft OA light and medi Soft OA stabilises, can improve proprioception and increases wearing comfort: It is breathable and wicks away moisture very well.

The braces are adjusted to the individual’s leg shape at specialist medical shops or by the doctor.

Greater stability and mobility in everyday life with the M.4®s OA comfort

Greater stability and mobility in everyday life with the M.4®s OA comfort

The new M.4s OA comfort braces relieves and stabilises the knee joint. The lightweight and rigid frame construction, as well as the 4-point stabilisation system, give the patient added safety and stability. The effective 3-point principle relieves the knee joint and protects the leg from breaking-away sideways. In addition, the varus and valgus adjustment hinges minimise pressure on painful areas, allowing the patient to move more easily in their everyday life. Other features enhance the user comfort.

How the 3-point relief principle works

The brace keeps the leg in the correct axis and prevents breaking-away into a detrimental varus or valgus misalignment (bow-legged or knock-kneed).
