UM Orthotics Knee Immobiliser Long 19"

UM Orthotics Knee Immobiliser Long 19"

The UM Orthotics Knee Immobiliser Long 19" is designed to provide rigid support, stabilization, and controlled immobilization of the knee joint during injury recovery and rehabilitation. Its extended 19-inch design provides support above and below the knee, helping maintain the leg in a stable position while restricting unwanted movement.

It is suitable for conditions requiring firm knee immobilization, including knee ligament injuries, post-operative care, patellar injuries, fractures, and other knee conditions where rigid stabilization is recommended.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Rigid Knee Immobilization: Provides firm external support to restrict unwanted knee movement and maintain the joint in a controlled position during recovery.
• Extended 19-Inch Design: The longer profile provides increased coverage around the thigh and lower leg for enhanced stabilization compared with shorter knee supports.
• Supports Proper Knee Alignment: Helps maintain the knee in a stable and controlled position, supporting appropriate joint alignment during the healing process.
• Ligament Injury Support: Provides rigid stabilization for knee ligament injuries when immobilization is prescribed by a healthcare professional.
• Post-Operative Support: Can be used following knee surgery to help protect the joint and restrict excessive movement during the recovery period.
• Patellar Support: Helps stabilize the knee and surrounding structures following patellar injuries or trauma.
• Fracture Support: Provides external stabilization for certain knee-region and lower-limb fracture recovery situations when prescribed.
• Restricts Unwanted Movement: The rigid structure helps limit excessive bending and movement of the knee, providing a controlled environment for healing.
• Cushioned for Comfort: PU Foam cushioning helps provide a softer contact surface between the rigid support components and the leg.
• Secure & Stable Fit: Designed to maintain its position around the leg while providing consistent support during the prescribed period of use.

INDICATIONS

The UM Orthotics Knee Immobiliser Long 19" may be recommended for:

• Knee ligament injuries
• Post-operative knee care
• Patellar injuries
• Fractures requiring knee immobilization
• Knee conditions requiring rigid stabilization
• Situations where controlled restriction of knee movement is required during recovery

EXTENDED 19-INCH SUPPORT

The 19-inch extended design provides broad coverage across the thigh and lower leg, helping distribute support around the knee rather than concentrating it only around the joint.

This extended construction helps provide greater control of the knee and assists in maintaining the leg in a stable position when rigid immobilization is required.

RIGID SUPPORT FOR CONTROLLED RECOVERY

Unlike flexible knee sleeves or hinged supports, the Knee Immobiliser is designed specifically for situations where movement restriction and rigid stabilization are required. Its structured construction helps limit knee flexion and unwanted movement, which can be important during certain stages of recovery.

The immobiliser should be used according to the instructions of the treating orthopaedic specialist or healthcare professional.

MATERIAL & CONSTRUCTION

The UM Orthotics Knee Immobiliser Long 19" combines Nylon, Polyester, Plastic, PU Foam, and Aluminium to provide a balance of strength, durability, cushioning, and structural support.

• Aluminium: Provides rigid structural reinforcement and helps maintain immobilization.
• Plastic: Adds structural strength and stability to the support.
• PU Foam: Provides cushioning and helps improve wearing comfort.
• Nylon: Contributes to strength and durability.
• Polyester: Provides a durable and comfortable outer construction.

COMFORTABLE RIGID IMMOBILIZATION

Although designed for firm stabilization, the immobiliser incorporates PU Foam cushioning to help reduce pressure between the support structure and the leg. The combination of rigid reinforcement and cushioning provides a balance between effective immobilization and wearer comfort.

SUPPORT DURING RECOVERY

After a knee injury, fracture, or surgical procedure, excessive movement may interfere with the prescribed recovery process. The UM Orthotics Knee Immobiliser provides external stabilization and controlled immobilization, helping protect the knee while it heals.

The duration of use, permitted movement, and weight-bearing instructions should always be determined by the treating healthcare professional.
