Osteoarthritis is one of the most common forms of arthritis you may experience in the knee. It is a degenerative, “wear-and-tear" type of arthritis that occurs most often in people 50 years of age and older, although it may occur in younger people, too. When osteoarthritis occurs, the cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears away, resulting in bone on bone contact. This is likely causing you pain during or after movement, stiffness, and tenderness within your knee. This plus-size, arthritic knee brace helps address this problem as it adds support and reduces stress on your knee. This brace was designed to help manage pain from a number of additional knee pain conditions, including:Medial or lateral kneecap instabilityMuscle weakness or injuryLigament weakness or injuryGeneral knee pain Intended purpose This medical device is a support for supporting the physiological guidance of the knee joint with circumferential Velcro fastener restraints and side guidance splints with joints which are adjustable in their scope of movement. Indications Meniscus injuries, mild to moderate lateral ligament instability of the knee joint, gonarthrosis, arthritis, bursitis. Contraindications Thrombosis risk, extreme varicosis, peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD), lymph drainage disorders, also unclear soft tissue swellings distal to the aid positioned, sensory and circulatory disorders of the region of the body treated, skin diseases in the part of the body treated, latex allergy. Fitting instructions 1 Before putting the support on, the joint splints must be adapted to the contour of the body by an expert. The support is equipped with a joint for the inside leg (medial) and a joint for the outer leg (lateral). For forming, remove the fastening straps from the joint and take the splints out of the support. In order to limit extension/flexion, the mounting devices provided can be used. The extension can be limited at 10°, the flexion at 30°, 60° and 90°. To apply joint limitation, remove the joint from the side splint bag by pulling it out through the slits at its upper end. Then, remove the limit stop connector screw. Place the connector into the joint at the desired angular position from the rear. Finally, secure the limit stop with the previously removed screw. Limitation must be performed for both joints! Then, form the joint splints to the contour of the leg so that the joint splint contacts the surface and causes no pressure sores. After this, the splints are inserted back in the splint bags and the straps adapted, but not closed fully. Then, slip the support over the leg so that the patella is placed centred in the integrated silicone ring. Then, close the straps on the lower leg, followed by the thigh. The support should now sit comfortably on the leg and not cause pressure sores. Slight corrections to the fit of the splints can also be made without removing them. Important: if the splints cause pressure sores and erythema, please remove the support and have it checked by the service provider Removal To remove the support, open the Velcro fasteners, grasp the lower edge of the support on the splints and pull it downwards over the foot. Close all the Velcro fasteners in order to avoid damaging other items, e.g. to further clothing.
