Product Description
This brace is intended as a long fixation of the lower limb after operations of the knee and ankle joint as well as after hip-bone operation.
This brace bearing structure features a metal construction, maintaining its shape and permanent rigidity. Its individual components are led dorsally and semi-circularly around the circumference of the shank and thigh. Connections are made of rivets, surface finish is in white baked varnish. Any orthosis rotation is secured by means of a re-adjustable arm and an extended footrest located in the sole part of the brace. Rotation may be internal and external into positions needed after operations of the hip joint. A standard size spanner is enclosed for handling the adjustable screw.
The limb is positioned in a soft moulded porous material – PLASTAZOTE, which is perforated due to breathability. Moulding of the PLASTAZOTE inset protects from undesirable pressures exerted on the limb and the material is not allergic and irritating to skin.
The lower limb fixation is rigid, allows for partial re-bandaging, without the need of releasing the fixation, or of replacing it.
