Description
Össur Rebound Universal Panel Knee Immobiliser Brace
The Össur Rebound Universal Panel Knee Immobiliser is designed to hold the knee in a stable, straight position following injury, surgery or during emergency care.
Its adjustable three-panel construction allows the brace to accommodate a wide range of leg shapes and circumferences, while the rigid stays help restrict movement and support the knee during the early stages of recovery.
The brace is suitable for short-term knee immobilisation under the guidance of a surgeon, physiotherapist or other healthcare professional.
Stable knee support when movement needs to be restricted
Following some knee injuries and surgical procedures, it may be necessary to prevent the knee from bending while damaged or healing tissues are protected.
The Rebound Knee Immobiliser uses rigid posterior stays behind the leg, together with adjustable medial and lateral stays at the sides of the knee, to help maintain the required position.
The level and duration of immobilisation should always be determined by the treating healthcare professional.
Adjustable three-panel design
The universal three-piece design can be adjusted around the leg to provide a secure fit across a broad range of thigh circumferences.
This makes the brace suitable for many different patients and allows the fit to be adapted where swelling or leg shape may change during recovery.
