1 TABIIZING UPPORT OF THE KNEE JOINT

2 upports which belong to the group are orthopedic supports designed to stabilize the knee cap, knee joint; depending of their type they are equipped with: 1. Anatomically shaped silicon ring, which provides additional support of the knee cap especially in case of advanced changes in the knee cap-thigh joint (knee cap chondromalacia, in treatment of breackage of the knee cap), after damage of the cross ligaments not qualified for surgery treatment. 2. Flexible lateral whalebones, which, depending of the type of the support, are used in number of two or four pieces per support. Products with lateral whalebones are very light therefore are very popular among patients, especially elderly or sport active. They are made of high quality spring, chrom-nikel alloy wire, rolled up and pressed, so the products are light and indifferent to the influance of sweat and salt, properly firm to guaratee correct functioning. 3. Flexible splints made of a set of spring tapes designed to support extension and provide lateral stabilization. 4. Velcro fixing which additionally provides stabilization of the support on patien s limb 5. Front elastic cross tapes which enable use of the support in specially stressful for the knee joint conditions, in intermediate degenerative changes and/or instability of the knee joint at home and at work during hard physical work, walking on uneven surface; in sports- enable continuation of training; in recreation- hiking, skiing, tennis. upports from the group Genus tabilizer are made of following fabrics: this structural fabric is made of neoprene foam of different thickness with outside layer of polyamide. The neoprene is additionally perforated to assure air flow and maintenance of correct temperature. ActivPren is soft and elastic, easily fits the limb. It contains no thick fibres which could press patient skin and cause an injury in the place of more intensive compression. ActivPren contains microfiber diaphragm. The diaphragm derives sweat from patient s skin, and than it evaporates through the perforation in the neoprene layer. uch design assures that only minimum of sweat is left on patient s skin, allowing for usage of our products in extreme conditions e.g. during sport activities. -layer, perfectly fitting material, stretching in all directions, modeling the shape of the limb, creating the, so called, second skin. The outside layer is made of spandex, which is responsible for correct compression and fitting of the product to the patient body, and for reduction of muscle twitching during physical exercise. The internal diaphragm, made of microfiber, cotton and elastin, is responsible for maintenance of the correct climate condition for the skin and sweat derivation. The products which belong to this group are equipped with innovative technical solutions and specialistic lateral supports which properly control the secured joint. The products are light and soft, assuring maximum comfort of use. this is an innovative fabric, manufactured mainly of polyester with silver ion, which assures fast derivation of humidity from the skin, effective skin protection from bacteria and unpleasant smell of sweat. When necessary the polyester is combined with elastin for increased elasticity and better fit to the joint. Used materials have proper thickness for orthopaedic supports and provide required joint compression. This is achieved thanks to the special 3D knitting technology. The products made of ACTIV FEXIBE are manufactured with seamless technology and contain internally integrated climatic and functional areas. This bio-active fabric contains a system of air channels, which derive the heat from patient s skin in a controlled way. The design of the support takes into consideration specific body shape, providing maximum comfort of use.
