Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury

Knee ligament injuries are a major health worldwide problem. It’s often connected with ACL injury. It has been estimated that 80,000 to 100,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur each year in the United States alone. Over the past several decades, specialists are interested in functional knee braces more and more.

Knee ligament injuries often occur by way of multiple knee-loading factors and may result from contact and/or noncontact interactions.

ACL is injured by the varus or valgus forces applied to the knee as an result of e.g. kicking the side of the knee like below.

However, the majority of injuries, especially those involving the ACL, are noncontact injuries that can occurs in sport training. Biomechanical risk factors associated with ACL injury based on knee rotation and posterior tibial translation.

One of our functional ACL knee braces is ATOM/2R, providing dynamic control of tibial translation.

Purpose of use

– mild or severe ACL, PCL, MCL and LCL instability
– rehabilitation after ACL or PCL reconstruction
– mixed injuries ACL/PCL
– knee hyperextension

ATOM/2R is the strongest protection from valgus and varus.

4 Points of leverage braces are the best protection for knee ligaments. First of all, they are dedicated for active athletes, where ACL injury is very common. They provide maximum security and knee protection.

MATERIALS

Active3D™

Active3D™ is thermoformed fabric made of special foamed, cell-closed designed material. It reduces the pressure on the body or any abrasions made by orthopaedic stays and aluminum splints. It is fully waterproof fabric and does not absorb sweat. It’s easy to clean. Due to its features, the fabric is an excellent product for making medical orthopaedic braces and orthoses. ACTIVE 3D™ has various external self-gripping layers. Our material has special, thermoformed properties and may be shaped according to the functional goals of the final braces.

STIFFENINGS

Splint 2R

Splints 2R – double axis polycentric splints, with rack gear which reflects the anatomic knee movement. Such splints are used in all knee joint braces where apart from angle adjustment lateral joint stabilization is also important. The splints are manufactured with high quality of aluminium alloy with sanded, durable cover which is neutral to the influence of sweat and salt. Required flexion and extension angle in every 20° is set by using the special pins. The splints are equipped with special oval covers to prevent the pins from falling out as well as from changing of the angle by unauthorized people. Standard length of the splints is 390 mm, but the braces with longer splints are additionally equipped with lateral stabilization of the knee joint. The splint and its design are patented in European Union by Reh4Mat Company.

PADDINGS

3D supports

3D relief supports are independent technical solutions to relieve the rigid elements of a given orthosis. These elements are made of supporting foams or EVA foam. These foams are connected with various types of skin-friendly materials and materials with an adhesive function. These pads have the appropriate shape and color adapted to the type of orthosis. They relieve both metal elements of orthoses, such as splints, stays, underwires and orthopedic drop locks, as well as other elements that should not come into direct contact with the patient's skin. These pads have an anatomical shape and are made of comfortable foam with proper hardness and elasticity, guaranteeing the proper therapeutic effect.
