The patented four points of leverage design is used on the Defiance@, 4TITUDETM, and LegendTM braces. The Defiance is our flagship product providing a perfect customized fit using the latest technology in carbon fiber composite materials to create a lightweight yet very durable design. Our newest member, the 4TITUDE, is an extremely low-profile functional brace with moldable cuffs for a custom-like fit to meet a variety of patient profiles. The Legend features a non-chip outer covering recommended for contact sports.
Unique Integration System
The center of the hinge will be just posterior to the midline and just superior to joint line This allows points one and three to compress soft tissue, isolating the femur and bringing it forward Points two and four draw the tibia posterior, generating a net differential force, or constant load, directly over the tibia, preventing it from moving forward.
This four-point leverage system is for ACL only For a PCL brace, the points of leverage would be reversed, switching the anterior and posterior straps on both the calf and thigh to generate the constant anterior force required over the posterior aspect of the tibia.
TROM (Total Range of Motion)
The TROM post-operative brace features an innovative, easy to use hinge that can adjust the range of motion with a click of a button. The brace can instantly lock at 0, 10, 20 and 30 degrees of extension for drop-lock requirements. The TROM is extremely versatile to support a wide range of protocols.
OA Adjuster
The OA adjuster offers an off-the-shelf solution to osteoarthritis pain with its revolutionary “Progressive Loading System”, providing an integrated patient-controlled load adjustment. The Bi-Axial Hinge allows for a double upright design to contour to the leg and fit comfortably, without migration. The load sensor, a DonJoy exclusive, helps to determine the forces being applied by the brace.
