Knee support AS-KX-04

Product description

AS-KX-04 is very comfortable short brace to patellar lateral dislocation treatment. The brace is made of unique airy materials. The patellar support is provided by soft lateral pelotte, equipped with two independent circumferential straps attaching above and under the knee. Additionally, adjustable silicone pelotte sets patella properly.

While knee flexion or extension the circumferential straps cooperate with silicone pelotte and set patella properly what decreases knee pain.

Frontal part of the brace is made of perforated, non-elastic ActivePren™ which compress knee joint.

Back part is made of openwork elastic material called ProSix™, which is very thin what facilitates knee flexion during performance (e.g. in sport).

Clasps made of AirDistance III™ material.

To stabilize knee joint precisely we use additionally two spiral lateral stays.

AS-KX-04 brace is the excellent solution for athletes and others who need everyday support during daily activities.

MATERIALS

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.

AirDistance III™

AirDistance III™ is breathable durable lamination. Consists of 3 layers: external self-gripping polyamide, comfort foam inside and internal polyamide 3D fabric. This spacer fabric 3D provides high air permeability and minimal water and moisture absorption. Waterproof material.

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.

PADDINGS

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.

Patella stabilizers

Relief stabilizers of various shapes made in 2D technology. They are made of relieving foams connected on one side with a fabric friendly to the patient's skin, and on the other with a gripper, thanks to which the stabilizer can be attached to the adhesive element of the orthosis. Thanks to such a structure, these pads do not have to be sewn into the orthosis, and they can simply be fastened to it from the inside. These elements have an anatomical shape and are made of comfortable foam with proper hardness and elasticity, which guarantees the proper therapeutic effect.
