SecuTec® Genu
Indications:
Instabilities after rupturing the anterior and/or posterior cruciate ligament (ACL/PCL)
After ligament surgery/syndesmoplasty
Complex instabilities (traumatic, degenerative)
To restrict the range of movement of the knee (for example, after collateral ligament injuries, meniscal suturing or meniscal implantation)
A torn ligament, collateral ligament injury or operation on the meniscus can mean that the knee joint needs to be stabilized from outside for a period of time. SecuTec® Genu is a lightweight but sturdy knee orthosis, designed to fit the anatomy of the leg. It is easy to put on and take off, fits perfectly and is very comfortable to wear.
Strong stabilization of the knee
Extremely lightweight and flat
High level of wearing comfort
With the SecuTec Genu, being sturdy and being lightweight are not mutually exclusive. This is made possible by a special, very strong light metal alloy. Breathable, non-slip pads ensure that the orthosis sits securely and comfortably on the leg.
SofTec® Genu
Indications:
Isolated rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament up to and including the "unhappy triad": Conservative treatment, Pre-operative and postoperative management, Long-term rehabilitation – sports therapy, Chronic insufficiency
Conservative functional treatment of collateral ligament injuries
Treatment of "unstable knee joint": Severe osteoarthritis of the knee, Rheumatoid arthritis – progressive rheumatoid arthritis, Endoprosthesis – secondary rehabilitation, Post-traumatic
Restricting the knee’s range of movement (e.g. after meniscal suturing or meniscal implantation)
SofTec® Genu is a multifunctional orthosis for stabilization of the knee. It is used, for example,in cases of torn ligaments, collateral ligament injury or arthritis. Its construction combines: stability and control provided by fixed joint splints, healing massage provided by a pad on the kneecap and maximum wearing comfort thanks to the anatomically shaped, breathable SofTec® vector-oriented knitted fabric.
Helps to relieve pain
Massages with every movement
"Intelligent" joint splints stabilize the knee
If your knee has been injured or just been operated on, it needs to be protected from excess strain. SofTec® Genu gives you a great feeling of stability, without restricting your mobility. On the contrary: every movement also activates the massaging nodules on the built-in knee pad. These massage the surrounding tissue and so speed up the healing process.
