Knee support AS-KX-01

Asymmetric single-side knee brace AS-KX-01 is equipped with one orthopaedic stay and one splint with ROM adjustment in every 15°.
The brace is profiled for right or left leg.

1		Open thigh part facilitates ease of application and removal.
2		Off-loading splint 1R with rom adjustement in every 15 degrees.
3		Silicone condyles pads protect bone prominences.
4		The wraparound thigh and sleeve calf facilite to put the brace on and off easy.
5		ProSix – thin and lightweight fabric provides comfort by moisture absorption.
6		Patella donut absorbs shocks and support patellofemoral joint.
7		Orthopedic stay stabilize your knee additional.

The brace is made of innovative ProSix™ material, which fits to the body and breath precisely. This special construction provides micro-massage of the patient’s skin what improves the blood circulation.

On the hinge are special supported pellotes, what allows to distribute forces on the knee and stabilize the joint.

The fastener is padded with special material out, what facilities putting the brace on and limits the sliding.

The device holds two circumferential straps in the frontal and rear side – you can use only frontal straps or, if you need better stabilization, both.

Inside is silicone pellote, which protects knee joint during the correction. In the external side are two orthopaedic stays which provide better stabilization.

AS-KX-01 holds the lateral open pocket where you can hide the splint. The splint is made of sanded aluminium, durable cover which what makes splints neutral to the influence of sweat and salt. The splint allows to adjust the ROM in every 15°. What is more, the splint is rimmed with material what protects knees against the scrapes.

The brace is created to protect valgus or varus knee.

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.

ActivePren™

ActivePren™ is an active three-layer material consisting of two elastic jersey cover fabrics and a core made of neoprene foam. This material is characterized by softness and high flexibility. A very important advantage of this material is the fact that it is not a knitted product, it does not have thick fibers, so that the weaves of the material do not imprint on the patient's skin and do not cause abrasionsin places of high compression. Products made of ActivePren are the strongest and most effective stabilizing orthoses available on the market.

ProSix™

ProSix™ is an innovative fabric 3D, elastic in all directions and fitting to the limb precisely. The external layer is 3D material providing excellent stabilization. There is duothermic spacer foam providing high air permeability and compression inside. The skin has contact with cotton that is breathable and soft. ProSix™ is friendly and neutral for the skin and has Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate.

STIFFENINGS

Spiral boning

Our orthopedic spiral boning is a thin wire, coiled into a spring and flattened. We use boning of various widths and wire thicknesses, which determines the strength of their stabilization. Each spiral boning has two specially profiled fittings to prevent damage of the orthosis. They are galvanically protected against corrosion by the galvanizing process, so they are resistant to water, moisture and sweat. Products equipped with bonings can be washed without removing them from the orthosis. They work in every direction, perfectly adjusting to the user's body and have a shape memory function, thanks to which they always return to their original profile. This function causes the spiral boning in the orthosis to stabilize the swollen limb immediately after the injury and after the swelling has come off.

Splint 1R mini

Splints 1 R (mini) - are 1-axial orthopaedic device, which is mostly in braces, where splints are closed in special sides pockets. It is used also when the brace’s low weight is very important. Splints 1 R (mini) are made of high quality aluminium hot covered by special powder surface, what makes them neutral to patient’s sweat. The knee flexion and extension adjustment is made with special Allen screws in every 15° – to each brace we add special Allen key, which is necessary for this activity.

PADDINGS

2D supports

2D supports are, apart from 3D supports, the second type of supports used in the production of orthoses. They are made of various types of relieving foams and have very different shapes. The special feature of these pelottes is that, unlike the 3D pelottes, they are not independent parts of the orthosis, but only their parts, that must be sewn between the materials from which the orthosis is made to work properly. These pads have an anatomical shape and are made of comfortable foam with proper hardness and elasticity, which guarantees the proper therapeutic effect.

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.

Patella silicone support

A whole series of silicone supports made in various shapes and colors to relieve the patella or to stabilize it. These pads have appropriate shapes and protrusions, thanks to which the orthosis perfectly fulfills its function. These pads have an anatomical shape and are made of silicone with the appropriate hardness and elasticity, guaranteeing the proper therapeutic effect.
