Upper limb support AM-AO-KG-01
CLEVER 1
ARM ABDUCTION ORTHOSIS WITH ANGLE REGULATION
Description
The Arm Abduction Orthosis with abduction angle regulation is an efficient immobilizer for treatment of an arm fracture, a dislocated shoulder or rotator cuff surgery in post-operative and post-traumatic conditions. The Arm abduction brace AM-AO-KG-01 called CLEVER 1 shall be prescribed by the doctor or professional orthopaedic specialist. The medical expert indicates the immobilization of arm in abducted position for treatment of anterior luxation.
The Brace includes upper limb support equipped with two hook-and-loop straps for forearm, one strap for arm and hand resting support with height regulation.
The fitting and adjustment of the orthosis is obtained by double belt on the chest/shoulder, which is equipped with front system closure – easy to wear and take off, without necessity of re-adjustment of the assembled straps length. The assembling straps are universal length which could be cut to obtain the perfect fitting on body shape.
The soft neoprene pads on belts offers usage comfort for patient.
The Upper Limb Support is jointed with sideway dorsal stabilizer, which is provided with 10 plastic stays on lateral dorsal area. This construction allows elasticity in transverse plane and rigidity in vertical position.
The Splint used in the brace is an innovative articulation with regulation of Flexion, as follows; 0º, 15º, 30º, 60º, 75º, 90º of Flex. There is NOT NECESSARY any tool to adjust the Flexion angle of abduction.
In order to avoid unwanted modifications of angle, the orthosis is provided with security system, which consists in pressing both security bottoms simultaneously to change the angle of arm abduction. The Waist stabilization belt is equipped with semi rigid pad included assembling set of straps. The Assembling set is lined with Red colour to allow easy fitting and adjustment of brace on patient.
The orthosis construction allows a possibility to continue with regulation of arm rotation.
The abduction arm brace is made of comfortable and breathable Active 3D™.
Properties
– maintains the Upper Limb in abduction, thanks to the innovative construction of aluminium support, allows to continue with regulation rotation of shoulder (from 20º internal rotation to 15º external rotation)
– ARC; Arm Rotation in shoulder from 15º internal rotation to 70º external rotation – ARC-XR)
– hand support with foam grip strengthener enables the exercises of hand and forearm muscles, as well as guarantees the correct and natural position of the wrist.
– Clavicle belt is provided with soft neutral pad, avoiding the pressure on carotid artery and provides comfort during the treatment
– The orthosis FITS BOTH SIDES
– Single Size of the Brace- provides whole range of adjustment, thanks to the wide range of length of the assembling straps and flexibility of arm support
– The Orthosis fulfills all therapeutic requirements at the same allows easy access to the shoulder joint, if necessary post-operative care or application of physiotherapy without taking off the brace from patient.
Indications:
– Post-operative and Post-Traumatic treatment of the shoulder required positioning of the shoulder and arm in abduction angle
– Rotator Cuff Plastic Surgery
– Anterior Luxation
– Fracture of the head of humerus
– Bankart injury of shoulder dislocation
– Post arthroscopy of shoulder
– Shoulder prosthesis
– Frozen Shoulder – Adhesive Capsulitis
ATTENTION: the abducent brace of the upper limb AM-AO-KG is not designed to be used again by another patient.

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
Elevation support
The elevation support with angular adjustment is used in upper limb orthoses to adjust the limb abduction angle from the body. In order to reduce weight, the detail is made of aluminum and protected with powder paint. The support has velcro elements that allow it to be quickly attached to the orthosis after washing it. It is equipped with hinges that allow you to set the angle of the abduction in the range of: 0, 15, 30, 60, 75, 90 degrees. In order to protect the product against accidental shifting of the set angle, it is equipped with a special lock - it is necessary to simultaneously press two buttons changing the angle of the joint.
Plastic stays
They come in various widths and thicknesses, are made of various types of plastics, such as polyamide, ABS or acrylic, and these features determine their stiffness. Thanks to their design, they are resistant to water, moisture and sweat. Products equipped with them can be washed without having to remove them from the orthosis. Our plastic stays work only in one direction, perfectly stabilize the laterally protected part of the body, adjusting to it at the same time and have a memory function, thanks to which they always return to their original shape. This function causes the stays in the orthosis to stabilize the swollen limb immediately after the injury and after the swelling has come off. The plastic stays cannot bend and that is why, they cannot correct the body posture or the secured joint.

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.
Molds made by injection method
PUR foam owes its popularity primarily to its physical and chemical properties, which are characteristic of polyurethane. The foam , depending on the proportion of the mixture, can be more rigid or flexible. Based on the physicochemical properties - density, and thus the stiffness or flexibility of the finished product - PUR can be used in an almost unlimited way.
