OTTOBOCK Genu Direxa RB 8353-7: Hinged, Detachable Knee Orthosis

Description:

The OTTOBOCK Genu Direxa RB 8353-7 is a fully detachable knee orthosis featuring two lateral splints, polycentric hinges without angle adjustment, and two securing straps. Its anatomically precise design ensures a snug fit. Moldable splints providing lateral support are housed within side pockets for easy removal if needed. Constructed from innovative, three-layer TriTech membrane material, this orthosis boasts a mere 2.3mm thickness. This breathable membrane actively wicks away moisture, providing optimal airflow and a pronounced anti-slip effect. Highly durable and easy to care for (quick-drying and machine washable on a delicate cycle).

Indications:

This knee brace is indicated for pain in the knee joint with mild to moderate symptoms of ligament instability and/or instability:

• Early to moderate stages of gonarthrosis with ligament instability and/or instability.
• Ligament instability and/or instability following injury or surgery.
• Rheumatoid arthritis.
• Patellofemoral pain syndrome (e.g., chondromalacia patellae, early femoropatellar osteoarthritis).

Consult your physician before use.

Mechanism of Action:

Provides semi-rigid support and a supportive effect through its external support frame. Improves proprioception (joint-muscle sense) and promotes active joint stabilization by coordinating the work of the intrinsic muscles. Reduces or eliminates pain.

Features:

• Anatomically precise design for a snug, comfortable fit.
• Removable, moldable lateral splints for adjustable support.
• Polycentric hinges mimic natural knee joint movement.
• Suprapatellar cutout reduces pressure on the kneecap, stabilizing it and facilitating flexion.
• Upper and lower elastic straps provide additional securement.
• Smooth, elastic Darlexx® edge finishing prevents chafing.
• Breathable material effectively wicks away moisture, creating necessary compression and ensuring high wearing comfort.
• Detachable design (model 8353) offers improved ease of use for patients with significant pain or limited mobility, particularly beneficial for elderly individuals.
