SecuTec Genu | Orthosis for stabilizing the knee joint 1 piece.

INDICATIONS

Instability after anterior and/or posterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACL/ACL)
After ligament surgery / ligament plastic surgery
Severe and/or complex instability (traumatic, degenerative)
To limit the range of motion of the knee joint (e.g. after injury to the lateral ligaments, meniscal suturing or meniscal prosthetics)
Conservative and postoperative therapy after patella fracture

CHARACTERISTICS

SecuTec Genu is extremely light.
The narrow aluminum frame is anatomically shaped, flat and close fitting.
The special frame construction takes care of simple and comfortable adjustment to the geometry of the leg, keeping the joint levels
The specially hardened aluminum alloy makes the frame very light, stable and formable.
The orthosis can be placed on the leg from the front.
Depending on the physiology of the therapy, it is possible to fix the orthosis on the leg in the set position without any problems. Since the orthosis has a 4-point safety system, the biaxial joint is maximally stable.
Joints that are protected from dirt and wear have a cushioned 0° flange.
The breathable and skin-friendly padding is treated with a non-slip coating and can be easily assembled and disassembled for cleaning.
To adjust it to the individual width of the knee (in case of swelling), condyle pads of different thicknesses are used.
Freely positioned condyle pad prevents skin irritation.
The strap loops can be locked in two positions for easy donning and are movable on the sides to adjust the position of the straps to the geometry of the legs.
It is possible to change the mounting height of the lower strap closer to the joint to adapt it to the shape of the lower leg.
In PCL care, the proximal strap to the joint should be folded ventrally. An additional strap should be used in the care of complex instability.
Bending and straightening can be adjusted individually (Bending: 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°, 60°,75°, 90°, 120°), (Straightening: 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°)

TYPES OF EXPOSURE

The knee orthosis is based on the frequently used 4-point principle.
The non-rotating frame design works against anterior/posterior tibial protrusion and stabilizes the knee joint against varus/valgus type forces.
The potential effect of the force caused by the orthosis on the knee joint is reduced to a minimum, as the anatomically designed frame with the duocentric joint can be adjusted.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE SIZE

The best protection against joint and muscle overload

Variable compression improves:

blood circulation and metabolism in joint tissues

stimulates muscle recovery,

relieves pain, swelling and muscle vibrations.
