BORT Knee support

BORT Knee orthosis supports damaged tissue structures (joints, ligaments, joint capsules, cartilage). The compression of the orthosis supports the ligaments while relieving pressure on the joints. In addition, the knee orthosis helps prevent incorrect movement of the leg. Splints help ensure stability of the lateral ligaments.

Usage
Before using the knee orthosis, the splints must be adjusted by a trained specialist. The knee support has a splint for both the inside (medial) and outside (lateral) side of the leg. To adjust, loosen the straps of the knee orthosis and take the splints out of the support. Aids are included in the product package to correct elongation/flexion. Extension can be limited to 10°, flexion to 30°, 60° and 90°. Now the splints can be adjusted according to the foot, so that they are flat and do not create pressure points. Next, put the splints back into the knee brace and get the straps ready to attach. Then pull the knee support on the leg, the silicone ring should be on the kneecap (patella). Fasten the leg straps first and then the thigh straps. Now the knee support should be comfortably on your knee and you should not feel any excess pressure. Splints can be slightly adjusted without removing them from the knee support. Caution: If the splints cause redness and pressure, remove the knee brace and consult a doctor.

Indications
Meniscal injuries, mild to moderate lateral ligament instability of the knee joint, gonarthrosis, arthritis, bursitis
