Osteoarthritis Knee Braces

Osteoarthritis Bracing, commonly called unloader braces, help patients with knee osteoarthritis by reducing pain and providing stability and support. In many cases unloader braces delay the need for total knee replacement surgery and provide an effective alternative to injections. Reduced pain and increased activity through use of the OA knee braces adds up to a better quality of life – speak with you doctor today about prescribing an unloader brace for you.

Trend Pro Unloader 2

Trend Pro Unloader 2

Trend Pro Unloader 2 is a functional OA knee orthosis that offloads the medial or lateral compartment for patients experiencing mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee. Our Trend TX2 Grip Padding minimizes brace migration and rotation, dramatically increasing wearability and patient compliance.

Formfit® Knee MCL

Formfit® Knee MCLThe Formfit® Knee MCL provides external stability and protection for low to medium contact/impact activities and while recovering from injury. A unique, single hinged, hybrid wrap/sleeve design sets this brace apart from the competition. The lateral, range of motion hinge keeps the medial side free of obstruction. The Dynamic Force Strap aids in the resistance of valgus forces during knee extension, while the adjustable tibial strap improves suspension by minimizing slippage.

Indications for Use

  • Mild to moderate medial collateral ligament (MCL) sprains (Grade I and Grade II)

Unloader One

Unloader OneAt only half the weight of competitive braces, the Unloader One osteoarthritis knee brace offers comfort & suspension without sacrificing the functionality of the clinically proven Ossur Unloader design.

Now the Unloader One OA knee brace is even simpler to fit and easier to wear! A new design incorporates color-coded buckles , more intuitive strapping, and denser Sensil® lining for increased patient comfort.

This osteoarthritis knee brace combines a streamlined, flexible upright with Dual Dynamic Force Straps to generate more unloading leverage than any Unloader to date. By incorporating light weight shells, with Sensil® silicone liner technology, the Unloader One knee brace provides a stable and comfortable platform for the dual dynamic force strap system. Quick fit buckles and breathable liners help ensure better patient compliance. The patient can measure and adjust the amount of unloading needed using the unique ratcheting Dynamic Force Control system.

Indications for Use

  • Mild to severe unicompartmental osteoarthritis (OA)
  • Unicompartmental knee conditions requiring load reduction
  • All activity levels, non contact

Unloader One® Plus OTS

Unloader One Plus OTSFor a variety of reasons, many sufferers of OA knee pain are overweight. For these patients, containing excess soft tissue is essential if they are to be braced effectively and comfortably. That’s why our new Unloader One Plus model is equipped with a wider thigh strap than the standard version, plus a gastroc strap that helps secure the brace in place.

Extra large support

Bigger legs require bigger support. So, for the new Unloader One Plus model, we included a sturdier upright with an Adjustable Dynamic Joint that provides clinicians with additional leverage for optimal pain management. Multiple, peer-reviewed clinical and biomechanical studies have proven the efficacy of this technology.
