The new knee orthosis Genu Arexa 50K13 is used for the functional treatment of crutiate ligament injuries. It stabilizes the joint and offers an option to limit the movement of the knee joint. With the innovative Click 2 Go system of the Genu Arexa joints, you can set the medically required movement limitation in seconds, without any tools. To do so, simply remove the pad holder and then insert the desired stops for extension and flexion. The knee width adjustment is just as easy and also does not require tools; it can be used to adjust the orthosis, for example in case of joint swelling. In just a few steps, five millimeter wide spacer rings can be inserted at the medial and/or lateral joint. 

High Level of Patient Compliance

Since the tibia area is particularly sensitive to spot loads, the distal frame is equipped with a slim, comfortable cushion. The belt underneath the knee has a special anatomical cushion which avoids pressure points and prevents undesirable rotation of the orthosis. Due to the unique material properties of TechnoGel®, the condyle cushions provide optimal pressure distribution and an ideal contact surface as well as good hygienic properties.

The entire orthosis design is laid out for a high level of patient compliance. The slim design which closely fits the body makes it possible for your customer to wear the orthosis unobtrusively under clothing. In addition, the low weight does not restrict the patient any more than necessary. The auto-adaptive plastic wings on the distal and proximal end of the orthosis automatically adjust to the contour of the leg when the belts are tightened and increase wearing comfort. Time-consuming shaping of the material is not required.
