The M4s OA Comfort osteoarthritis knee brace modifies the standard 4 point brace concept to create a design that ensures excellent patient compliance and outcomes. It incorporates medi’s patented varus/valgus loading mechanism to provide effective treatment for moderate and more significant symptoms of uni-compartmental osteoarthritis. The unique flex-bar system allows the strut opposing the loading mechanism to flex providing effective pain relief and reduce point-loading pressure and enhance patient comfort. The advantages of the flex-bar, loading mechanism and ability to align the brace to the individual patient combine with the soft-grip padding system and numbered straps to provide exceptional patient satisfaction and high compliance. The hinged thigh bar adds additional comfort.
