Knee orthosis for osteoarthritis - Gonartec® Advance

Characteristics:

• Comfortable and light orthosis for unicompartmental knee unloading. With a wraparound design, it adapts perfectly to the limb, allowing a correct fit and effective knee control.
• It has a unilateral polycentric joint that allows personalized varus-valgus regulation and the possibility of limiting flexion-extension through wedges.
• For an optimized unloading effect, 2 straps perform a 3-force system helping to alleviate pain. The straps are color coded, facilitating correct adjustment.
• The textile material is soft, comfortable and breathable, providing focused compression on the knee joint and incorporates internal silicone elements to prevent the orthosis from moving, in addition to increased padding in areas of greatest pressure.

Effects:

• Internal or external condylar pressure, realigning the thigh/leg axial deviation.
• Medial or lateral mechanical unloading of the knee.
• Stabilization and restriction of joint range of motion.
• Pain relief.

Flexion limitation angles: 0º, 10º, 20º, 30º, 45º, 60º, 75º and 90º
Limitation angles in extension: 0º, 10º, 20º, 30º and 40º

Indications:

• Unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee, mild or moderate.
• Genu valgus or varus associated with arthrosis.
• Medial or lateral meniscal injury.
