FIX-KD-35

KNEE SPRAIN

The knee is a complex joint made up of ligaments, tendons, bones and cartilage. The knee’s movement involves flexion and extension. A sudden stretching, twisting, or tearing of a ligament causes a sprain. This injury can happen when a child falls or suffers a hit to the knee. The ligaments offer join stability and in case of injury, the knee is swollen, painful and unstable. Once a joint is sprained, it is predisposed to injury and due to this fact, prevention is important. Our paediatric knee brace FIX-KD-35 offers knee support and healing compression.

PURPOSE OF USE

• knee sprain and strain
• knee instability
• knee inflammation
• patellar injuries

PRODUCT’S DESCRIPTION

The brace has wrap-around design so its applying is fast and comfortable. Our pediatric knee brace FIX-KD-35 has patella donut which prevents against kneecap maltracking and dislocation.

Paediatric knee brace FIX-KD-35 is made of innovative breathable fabric AeroSpace II™.

AeroSpace II™ is an innovative new generation raw material. It is a distance elastic 3D knitted fabric consisting of two layers of facings and an interlacing that creates the appropriate thickness of the raw material and has relieving properties. The knitwear is made of the highest quality polyester yarn - guaranteeing high mechanical strength and spandex ensuring its proper flexibility. AeroSpace II™ has an external self-gripping layer what makes it easy to adjust each product to individual patient’s needs. This material is characterized by a very low weight, high flexibility and a very large openwork structure, allowing for very easy drainage of sweat from the body and bringing fresh air to the skin. Products made of this raw material are neutral to the secured joint, do not heat or cool it, but ensure its proper compression and fit and reduce muscle vibrations generated during physical exertion. Its thickness and 3D structure perfectly relieves the orthopedic splints, stays or other elements mounted on the product and guarantees velvety softness to the touch.

Hi tech fabric provides soothing compression and retains therapeutic heat to reduce swelling and inflammation, relieve knee pain and promote healing and security.

In addition, the brace is equipped with side spiral boning.

Our orthopedic spiral boning is a thin wire, coiled into a spring and flattened. We use boning of various widths and wire thicknesses, which determines the strength of their stabilization. Each spiral boning has two specially profiled fittings to prevent damage of the orthosis. They are galvanically protected against corrosion by the galvanizing process, so they are resistant to water, moisture and sweat. Products equipped with bonings can be washed without removing them from the orthosis. They work in every direction, perfectly adjusting to the user's body and have a shape memory function, thanks to which they always return to their original profile. This function causes the spiral boning in the orthosis to stabilize the swollen limb immediately after the injury and after the swelling has come off.

Our paediatric knee brace FIX-KD-35 has Velcro closures for smooth circumferential adjustment. It can be used when the knee is swollen and later as a prevention against the injury.

The brace has no fabric located at the back of the knee joint (the popliteal fossa) so there is no pressure on the sensitive child’s skin.

Skin friendly but firm fabrics and innovative design make our FIX Braces collection an excellent solution for children.
