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

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

- Wide elastic straps contain excessive soft tissue
