"KAFO BRACE" FEMOROTIBIAL BRACE

Code 06-2-100


Consists of two sections (femur-tibia) that are easily adjustable. Made out of  "ACTiVDistance", a soft, anti-swear and hypoallergenic material. The two metal bars with polycentric 1R mechanism are applied with self-adhesive Velcro. The polycentric 1R mechanism is an innovative solution for regulating range of motion as well as flexion and extension of the knee. The diameter of the mechanism is very small (30mm) and is adjustable by 15° increments in a choice of positions. 

a) Flexion: from 0 ° to 135 °

b) Extension: from 0° to 120°

C) hyperextension -15° 

In addition, proper fit of the brace is achieved with a magnetic clasp  The special design of the locking device and the disc allows for precise adjustment of the angulation of the polycentric mechanism. Two internal pads for condyle protection. The six self-grip and non-elastic foam fixation straps (three in the femoral and three in the tibial section) stabilize the orthotic in the proper position. The orthotic features a tibial-foot brace made out of carbon fibers to be worn inside a shoe, which is applied telescopically in a choice of positions. Supports the foot in a neutral position due to foot drop. 

Allows for a controlled, progressive increase in the range of motion of the knee joint. Easy to apply, even in patients with a greatly disproportionate femur and tibia.  

Available in both left-sided and right-sided.
