Description
- Applies gentle, low-load force to knee contractures from 45 degrees flexion to 10 degrees hyperextension
- Turnbuckle mechanism provides excellent control, allowing the therapist to adjust force in small increments
AliMed(R) Turnbuckle Knee Orthosis helps maintain the gains in ROM achieved through stretching and brace wear. Steel rod and turnbuckle mechanism provide a low-load stretch to the joint to gradually reduce the contracture and increase the range of motion incrementally. Turnbuckle with triangular-shaped grip easily adjusts with splint in place for optimal positioning. Rigid Kydex(R) splint shell is hinged at the knee, with the turnbuckle connecting the thigh and calf portions. Use for knee contractures from 45 flexion to 10 hyperextension. Pads are terrycloth-lined for comfort. Fits left or right knee. Must be used under a physician's supervision. HCPCS Code: E1811. Use of suggested code does not guarantee reimbursement. Check with local DMERC for specific requirements. Sizing: Measure circumference around kneecap. Medium (C): 15" - 17".
