Short Description
Breg's PTO (Patella Tracking Orthosis) Knee Brace provides effective patellofemoral stabilization for instability and patellar maltracking. Available in standard Neoprene & Airmesh material.
The Breg PTO Knee Brace is designed to align the knee for patients with maltracking or patella tracking conditions. The PTO adjusts the amount of compression applied from the lateral pressure plate by forming a soft tissue wall that controls patellar subluxation. The Breg PTO Airmesh knee brace is a favorite for patients with patellar tracking knee problems with ligament instability, all types of patellar dysfunction, patello-femoral pain syndrome, Patellar subluxation, Chondromalacia patella knee pain, and recovery from lateral release surgery.
The PTO (Patella Tracking Orthosis) hinge dynamically adjusts the amount of compression applied through the lateral pressure plate on the patella buttress according to the amount of bend in the knee. As the knee moves into extension, the plate and buttress work together to form a lateral "soft tissue wall" to control patella subluxation. The patented Cawley Tension Hinge, dynamically adjusts the tension applied from the pressure plate on the buttress. The Breg PTO knee brace is available in a standard neoprene or soft Airmesh (non-neoprene material) which is both breathable and latex-free.
Breg PTO Knee Brace Features:
- Patented Cawley Tension Hinge adjusts tension generated by the hinge bars to pull the buttress down around the patella to enhance patella stabilization
- Only patella brace on the market that works "dynamically" as the patient performs normal knee movement while walking and/or running
- Adjusts to whatever range of motion is necessary at the knee while bending or straightening the knee for normalized gait
- Progressive compression of the lateral soft tissue (peak force reached at full extension) surrounding the knee cap is applied enhancing the positive effects of the patella buttress
- Available in sizes: Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, XX-Large - please see our sizing chart tab above for important sizing guidelines
- The PTO is available in standard Neoprene or Airmesh material- a lycra/polyester material that breathes for comfort. Excellent for warmer climates
- Right/left specific
Available Options:
- Side: choose right or left knee
- Material: choose Airmesh or standard neoprene material
- Version: choose between open back or closed back options with the material left in behind the back of the knee. The open back version reduces material bunching up behind the knee with deep knee bending.
