V-FORCE
The correction pressure is built up via the contralateral condyle to relieve the painful compartment (three-point principle). A Varus/Valgus position can be adjusted by means of an adjustable correction pressure. Partially elastic plastic shells ensure a pleasant wearing comfort. Silicone adhesive strips prevent the orthosis from slipping. The polycentric joint allows limitation of extension and flexion.
| Only one size, adjustable to a thigh circumference (15 cm above knee joint gap) of minimum 32 cm to maximum 70 cm. |
