tynor CURE Knee Immobilizer

DESCRIPTION

The Tynor Knee Immobilizer is a specialized orthopedic brace designed to provide complete immobilization, support, and protection for an injured or post-operative knee. It is commonly used as an alternative to a plaster cast or during the rehabilitation phase following surgery.

Below is a detailed breakdown of its features, construction, and usage:

1. Key Features

• Anatomical Splinting: Equipped with pre-shaped, anatomically contoured aluminum splints (back and sides). These ensure the knee remains in a straight, functional position to prevent further injury.

• Removable Patellar Strap: Includes an additional strap that can be positioned over the kneecap (patella) for extra stability and immobilization.

• Anti-Slip Design: The materials and strap configuration are designed to prevent the brace from sliding down the leg during movement.

• Wrap-around Design: The open, wrap-around construction makes it easy to put on and take off, even for patients with significant swelling or pain.

2. Material & Construction

• PUF Fused Fabric: The body is made from high-quality, three-layered Polyurethane (PU) foam fused fabric. This provides soft cushioning, breathability, and durability.

• Lightweight Splints: Uses lightweight but rigid aluminum splints to provide maximum support without adding unnecessary weight.

• Velcro Fasteners: Multiple hook-loop straps allow for a customized, snug fit and adjustable compression levels.

3. Common Indications (When to use)

The Tynor Knee Immobilizer is typically recommended for:

• Post-Operative Recovery: Following ligament repairs (ACL, PCL, MCL), meniscus surgery, or patellar tendon repairs.

• Fractures: Immobilization of the patella or upper tibia/lower femur.

• Severe Sprains: When total restriction of knee movement is required to allow ligaments to heal.

• Dislocations: To stabilize the joint after it has been reset.

• Early Cast Removal: Used as a transition device after a traditional plaster cast is removed.
