For OA sufferers with excessive soft tissue as a result of being either overweight, elderly, or both.

Based on the same principles as the Unloader® Select, the Unloader ADJ has more flexible shells and wider elastic straps to contain excess tissue.

Indications for Use

  • Mild to severe unicompartmental osteoarthritis
  • Unicompartmental knee conditions requiring load reduction, such as Articular Cartilage Defect Repair, Meniscal Cartilage Repair, Avascular Necrosis, or Tibial Plateau Fracture
  • Highly disproportionate thigh-to-calf girth, abnormal limb contour, excessive soft tissue, thin skin, minimal  muscle mass and/or mild cognitive deficiency
  • Low to demanding activities of daily living 

Product Highlights

  • Dynamic Force Strap (DFS) applies a counteracting force to the adduction moment, considered to be the root cause of knee OA
  • The single upright on the affected side combines with the Dynamic Force Strap to create a 3-Point Leverage System
  • Adjustable Dynamic Joint™ (ADJ) allows the clinician to easily control the varus or valgus force for optimal pain management
  • Wide elastic straps contain excessive soft tissue
  • Flexible shells conform well to wide thighs and calfs, whether patient is weight-bearing or not
  • Color-coded tabs/D-rings and numbered straps with EZ-Grip loops make application easier for patients with limited cognition and/or manual dexterity
  • Flexion and extension stops for ROM control
  • Washable doeskin liners wick moisture and keep leg cool
  • Available in 12 standard colors
