The OA Spiral combines unloading in the tibiofemoral joint with realignment in the patellofemoral joint.
Tibiofemoral: The OA Spiral uses a three-point leverage system and a non-elastic strap to pull the knee out of varus or valgus and decrease pain.¹ Patellofemoral: Among patients with tibiofemoral OA, 91% also have radiographic patellofemoral OA.² BioSkin's Q strap has been clinically proven to decrease pain in the PF joint by supporting proper patellar alignment and increasing joint surface contact.³
The lightweight hinge and thin, breathable materials yield a product that is comfortable and easy to wear, even under clothing. The strap and buckle design makes donning and doffing easy for patients who struggle with dexterity. The OA Spiral is also designed for longevity with easily replaceable Velcro panels so the patient can get years of use from the same brace. 1.
