Bauerfeind SecuTec Genu Dorsal Knee Brace

Stabilization by limiting range of motion for complex knee injuries.

The SecuTec® Genu is a lightweight but sturdy knee orthosis, designed to fit the anatomy of the leg. A torn ligament, collateral ligament injury or operation on the meniscus can mean that the knee joint needs to be stabilized from outside for a period of time. The orthosis is easy to put on and take off, fits perfectly and is very comfortable to wear.

• Strong stabilization of the knee
• Extremely lightweight and flat
• High level of wearing comfort

Indications For Use:

• Rupture of the anterior and / or posterior cruciate ligament (ACL / PCL) 
• After ligament surgery / ligament reconstruction 
• Severe and / or complex instability (traumatic, degenerative; e. g. "unhappy triad”) 
• Collateral ligament injuries 
• To restrict the knee joint‘s range of motion (e. g. after meniscus refixation or meniscal implantation) 
• Patellar fracture (non-surgical and post-operative) 

Care Instructions: 

• Never expose the SecuTec Genu to direct heat (e.g. heating, solar radiation, etc.).
• The aluminum parts of the orthosis are coated and can be cleaned with pH-neutral soap.
• We recommend hand washing the upholstery and straps at 30 ° C

FRONTAL VERSION: 

Easily positioned at the front and fastened by the patient, reducing stress on the injured knee 
High degree of rotational stability based on anatomically contoured frame design, including for the edges of the tibia 

DORSAL VERSION: 

The adaptable calf shell with self-regulating inclination angle adjusts to the shape of the calf muscle to provide maximum wearing comfort and a secure fit

HIGH-TECH HEALING POWERS

With the SecuTec Genu, being sturdy and being lightweight are not mutually exclusive. This is made possible by a special, very strong light metal alloy. Breathable, non-slip pads ensure that the orthosis sits securely and comfortably on the leg. In 2007, this concept also impressed the jury for the Small and Medium-Sized Businesses Initiative. They awarded the SecuTec Genu the Innovation Prize in the Industry category.
 

STABILITY AND COMFORT

The SecuTec Genu is simply put on to the leg from the front. There is therefore no need to bend the knee joint sharply. This minimizes stress peaks on the ligaments or ligament structures that are under strain. Orthotists can easily adapt the frame to fit any particular leg shape.
