Patellar braces are used to prevent unwanted patellar deviation, usually to the lateral side. While there are many patellar braces out there, we typically use the dynatrack due to its proven track record with our patients. MedSpec has created a patented buttress design that applies steady pressure to the knee in any position. The Skinloc lining helps to keep it from moving and additional straps allow you to adjust the level of tension and the back of the knee is open to make it more comfortable. The low profile design is both comfortable and effective for athletics and everyday wear. The knee brace provides excellent patella stabilization and added medial/lateral support with the addition of semi-rigid thermoplastic hinges on the sides for enhanced joint protection. The flexible hinges mold to the shape of the knee.
Indications:
Lateral or medial patellar instability
Knee injuries
Patella tracking issues
Patella tendonitis
Patella femoral dysfunction
Key Features:
Universal side: fits left or right knee.
US manufacturing: high quality control standards
Easily adjusted to desired amount of pressure: the tension on the straps can be changed by adjusting the straps
Internal buttress: can be positioned to apply either lateral or medial pressure on the patella
Open Popliteal: a large popliteal opening permits a high degree of flexion with no discomfort
Anterior Closure: the wraparound design allows for ease of application and an optimum fit
Medial and Lateral Plastic Hinges: removable hinges enhance the brace's ability to conform to the knee during flexion and provide a stable base for the dynamic buttress
The Buttress
The DynaTrack Plus Patella Stabilizer features a dynamic buttress design that can apply either a medially directed or a laterally directed force against the kneecap to improve patella tracking and reduce pain.
