Lower limb support OKD-09

Nowadays running is one of the most popular activities. You may be a professional or simply amateur runner. This discipline is not costly and does not require investment in advanced sport equipment but it does not mean it is not injuryable. Running, like most sport disciplines, may result in many conditions and injuries. One of many is Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) which is common among doctor’s or physiotherapist’s offices.

Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) runs in the lateral side of the thigh. It connects hip and knee and in more detailed way: pelvis and tibia. The running causes stressing of these structures and progressively worsening pain along the band’s area so along the outer side of the knee. It does not matter if you are amateur or professional runner, if you feel pain on the outer side of the knee, you may suffer from ITBS syndrome. Apart of icing, you should use our ITB strap OKD-09 for keeping performance.

Product’s description

ITB strap OKD-09 provides therapeutic vibration dampening and off-loading insertion on tibia. This solution reduces tension of iliotibial band and relieves the knee and hip pain.

Our ITB brace OKD-09 is anatomic-shaped universal strap with upper-knee part that stabilizes and supports tendons of iliotibial band and quadriceps. Wide adjustment provides full range of compression. Our dynamic thigh strap with silicon insert OKD-09 based on REH4MAT rule: MiniMax (minimum device, maximum effect).

Additional advantage is silicone pad that supports the inflammation area and prevents against the strap’s slipping. The silicone insert improves the cellular metabolism and blood circulation. Micro-massage stimulates the cellular activity and increases the permeability of a plasma membrane. In this case the inflammation is reduced.

MATERIALS

UniPren™

UniPren™ is a universal 3-layer material consisting of an external elastic polyamide cover knit with a self-adhesive function, an internal neoprene foam core and an elastic jersey cover knit. This material is characterized by softness and very 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 UniPren™ are the strongest and most effective stabilizing orthoses available on the market. Self-adhesive function, the raw material makes it much easier to use.

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.
