Short Description
Medi M.3 OA Knee Brace provides functional relief for medial / lateral osteoarthritis.
The Medi M3 OA Functional Knee Orthosis provides conservative treatment for pronounced unilateral, medial or lateral osteoarthritis of the knee. The adjustable frame offers varus / valgus correction that's well suited for interim care prior to possible surgical procedures such as correction osteotomy or knee, and joint replacement. Weight-bearing relief after surgery for medial or lateral fractures of the tibial head is also possible given the Medi M3 OA functional orthosis' ability to provide offloading of the lateral or medial joint space using its adjustable 3-point principle design for uni-compartment pressure relief. The low-profile malleable frame provides a custom fit and effective pain relief for arthritis sufferers.
