KNAPP^™ HINGED KNEE Brace by Hely & Weber

A Multi-Functional Hinged Knee Orthosis was the quest set upon by Dr. Thomas Knapp and the designers at Hely & Weber Sports Medicine.  Dr. Knapp realized that in these ever challenging reimbursement times, a brace that could solve more than one bracing need would be a very helpful tool in the practitioners armamentarium.   Pre-operative/Post-operative and Mild to Moderate Functional Bracing became our goal.  This brace was designed to meet the ever challenging needs of pre and post-op care for MCL/LCL and meniscal repairs, and might also be considered in it's longer lengths as an adjunct to patella fracture and mild/moderate ACL/PCL strains and sprains.   Full hinge covers allow for sport participation.

Hook & loop straps wrap in opposite directions to prevent migration (12" Knapp Knee Support)	Easy to apply anterior closure (12" Knapp Knee Support)	Open patella guides positioning and aids comfort. Strap is ultrasonically welded near the D-ring to prevent twisting (16" version shown)	Open popliteal cools and eliminates bunching, improves range of motion and cools the back of the knee. (16" version shown)

Constructed of Kuhl perforated neoprene, the Knapp Hinged Knee Orthosis comes in 2 lengths (12" and 16").  The anterior closure provides custom fitting and allows the brace to be applied with shoes on.  The Range of Motion hinge plus 2 other hinge styles increase customization.  The hinge pockets cover the hinges during sports and rehabilitation needs.  The Knapp Hinged Knee is an indispensable tool in the practitioners' armamentarium.

• MCL/LCL Sprains
