Product operations

The 20.50 is the 1st brace that supports problems of the patella using dynamic action during flexion. During patello-femoral pain syndrome, the patella is pushed outwards and there is an increase in pressure on one side of the cartilage, which can lead to irritation and wear. The unique design of the 20.50 keeps the patella in the right position during bending of the knee, for example during inclines and while descending stairs. The combination of an innovative air pad and elastic straps allow the brace to work dynamically when the knee is bent between 20° and 50°.

 

Q&A

Is this brace only intended for problems of the patella or also for ligamentous instability?

Due to the magnesium frame, the brace also support ligamentous instability.

Why are all hard shells at the front?

There are 2 reasons : 

  1. The hard shells are on the anterior side of the leg to allow for more control over soft tissue.
  2. It is easier to attach in this way.

What differentiates this brace?

The brace contains an Air Pad that is connected to the magnesium frame with elastic straps. The Air Pad has two functions:

  1. Blowing more air into the Air Pad enables better attachment and pressure against the kneecap.
  2. Due to the elastic straps, the Air Pad pulls the kneecap back in a medial direction when the brace is flexed. The greatest strength is between 30° and 40°
