Product Description
Unloader One X improves mobility by providing pain relief from knee osteoarthritis and degenerative meniscal tears.
It features Össur's unique, patented and clinically proven 3-Point Leverage System, which generates unicompartimental unloading of the knee joint.
Key Features
- 3-Point Leverage System consisting of two Dynamic Force System (DFS) Straps, rigid shells and a single upright hinge contribute to a unicompartmental unloading of the knee joint.
- The unloading is effective only when needed, no condyle pressure during sitting or swing phase.
- A slender, perforated frame with soft edges, which contours easily to individual anatomies and remains discreet whether worn over or under clothing.
- Skin-friendly liners and pads as well as a smooth inner surface of shells reduce the likelihood of pressure points.
- The gastroc strap is positioned over the thickest part of calf to help prevent slipping.
- Tool-free SmartDosing® dials enable the patient to be in control of their pain level by fine-tuning the strap tension.
- Colour coded touchpoints and Quick-Fit buckles make it easy to use.
- Alignment guide on hinge facilitates correct positioning on the leg.
- Entire brace is machine washable (washbag included with product).
- Easily adaptable to individual needs and anatomical shapes.
- Field serviceable.
