Hinged Shields Brace
The Hely Weber Hinged Shields Knee Brace provides added medial/lateral knee protection along with support of the patella-femoral joint throughout full bending and straightening out of the leg. It is an excellent model for instability and effectively stabilizes the kneecap for patients suffering from patella subluxation and/or dislocation. This hinged knee brace has a low profile at only nine inches long, and utilizes both an independent thigh and calf strap to secure the product around any size knee, large or small. It reduces the chance of re-dislocation of the kneecap by using an independent directional force flap which maintains proper patella stabilization independent from the rest of the brace. The patella buttress has a tacky quality about it to maintain proper contactwith the skin even with aggressive use. The two wide bi-axial hinges help to provide additional knee protection compared to the regular Shields Brace and help to prevent against hyperextension injuries. To maximize patient comfort, hinged Shields brace features a front closure design, and is made from 1/8 inch, perforated neoprene which allows for moisture evaporation to help keep you cool and dry.
