MOS-Genu

Relief and stabilization for osteoarthritis of the knee with leg axis misalignment

After surgery to correct misalignments (bowleg or knock knee), the removal of a meniscus or following cruciate or collateral ligament injuries, the MOS-Genu can be used to stabilize the leg or to provide targeted partial relief for it. The orthosis comprises an aluminum frame with optimally adjustable joints, straps and special skin-friendly cushions which compensate for swelling in the knee joint region. The frame design is available as either a standard length or a long version.

Care Instructions

Never expose the orthosis to direct heat (e.g. heating, solar radiation, etc.).
The aluminum parts of the orthosis are coated and can be cleaned with pH-neutral soap.
We recommend hand washing the upholstery at 30 ° C on a gentle cycle and the straps at 30 ° C.

STABILITY AND RELIEF

If the knee is affected by severe instability, it requires special support. The special frame design of the MOS-Genu provides external support for the knee, holding it in the correct axis. Possible constraining forces on the knee joint are reduced to a minimum. Its joints, with physiologically optimal pivots, can be adjusted in 10-degree intervals. Pressure on the collateral ligaments or on parts of the knee can be relieved individually.

STRONG YET LIGHTWEIGHT

The MOS-Genu orthosis ensures maximum stability with minimum load impact. The frame is made of lightweight aluminum and the shells have skin-friendly, breathable cushions and do not slip. Condylar cushions of varying thicknesses compensate for any swelling. The orthosis can therefore be worn with comfort, even over extended periods of time.
