RelOAd OA Knee Brace

A unilateral, adjustable tension, hinged brace for the person experiencing mild to moderate uni-compartmental knee arthritis. Designed to be worn throughout the day for activities of daily living and for those with limited dexterity. It aids by providing functional support of the knee joint, assisting to relieve pain or discomfort from the bone on bone contact associated with mild to moderate OA.

It is constructed of a soft, stretchable compression sleeve that improves fit, reduces migration and swelling. Its low profile design allows it to be worn under most clothing.

The ability to unload the affected knee compartment with the telescoping dial hinge is controlled by the wearer. The wearer can modify the unloading of the affected knee joint to reduce their pain, allowing them to become more active and enjoy an improved quality of life

Indications:

• Mild to moderate medial or lateral Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint
• Functional support for varus or valgus knee joint collapse
• For patients who want a soft brace
• For normal activities of daily living
