dj Orthopedics, LLC Introduces OAdjuster™ Knee Brace for Osteoarthritis Pain Relief
SAN DIEGO, CA - dj Orthopedics, LLC announces the new OAdjuster™, an off-the-shelf knee brace offering control and comfort to the osteoarthritis patient. This new brace features a Progressive Loading System, Bi-Axial hinge and DonJoy's patented "4-Points of Leverage" design, which allows for moderate to high levels of activity in patients suffering normal to severe osteoarthritis pain, according to John Martin, product manager.
"Our research revealed a specific need for a low-profile brace that would provide osteoarthritis pain relief for ligament
instabilities and post-operative rehabilitation," Martin said. "The OAdjuster's™ Progressive Loading System puts relief in patients' hands by enabling them to vary the load over time with an adjustment key. This integrated patient-controlled load adjustment and its Bi-Axial hinge allows for a double upright design to contour to the leg and still fit comfortably while applying
this load."
The OAdjuster™ uses a force applied across the center of the joint and a reaction force responds at the cuffs in the opposite direction, minimizing pressure on the affected compartment. As an accessory option for the medical professional, a load sensor is available that determines how much force the brace is applying to the joint, another DonJoy® exclusive.
For the one in six Americans who suffer from some form of arthritis and the 17 million knee OA patients, the 4-Point Dynamic Leverage System is especially important in the way it suppresses abnormal tibial drawer. The OAdjuster™ is lightweight (21 oz.) and features seven size options, creating maximum comfort and stability without migration.
dj Orthopedics debuted the OAdjuster™ at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) annual meeting, March 15-17 in Orlando, Florida at the Orange County Convention Center.
