Short Description
The Hely & Weber Global Knee Brace 7640 provides targeted support for global knee osteoarthritis, patellofemoral pain, and chronic swelling. Featuring a hybrid wrap design, rigid hinges, and a patella sling with Trakaderm™ buttress, it delivers stability, compression, and improved kneecap alignment in a lightweight, breathable brace.
The Hely & Weber Global Knee Brace 7640 is a specialized OA knee brace designed to manage the pain and instability caused by global knee osteoarthritis, patellofemoral pain, and chronic swelling. Built with a unique hybrid wrap design, it combines a fixed calf cuff with an anterior-closure thigh section, making it easier to apply while ensuring a secure, customized fit.
Rigid range-of-motion (ROM) hinges help block excessive varus and valgus movement, providing added stability during walking and daily activity. At the same time, the adjustable patella sling with Trakaderm™ buttress repositions and elevates the kneecap, improving alignment and reducing pressure on the joint. Constructed from breathable spacer fabrics, Lycra®, and urethane laminate, this brace delivers lightweight durability and long-lasting comfort. By addressing stability, patellar tracking, and swelling, the Global Knee Brace supports patients in both early and later stages of osteoarthritis while helping them stay active longer.

How It Works
The Hely & Weber Global Knee Brace combines rigid stabilization with dynamic patellar control. The dual hinges limit abnormal side-to-side (varus/valgus) movement while allowing natural knee flexion and extension. Meanwhile, the patella sling with Trakaderm buttress repositions the kneecap into a more natural alignment, reducing stress across the joint and easing pain during ambulation. This hybrid design makes the brace effective for patients in both early and later stages of osteoarthritis.

- Global (bi- or tri-compartmental) knee osteoarthritis (OA)
- Patellofemoral pain and instability
- Chronic knee swelling and inflammation
