Indications
• Irritation (tendomyopathy, ligament insertion degeneration, meniscopathy, chronic, posttraumatic or post-operative treatment)
• Recurrent joint effusion
• Gonarthrosis / arthritis (joint wear / joint inflammation)
• Prevention / relapse prevention
• Feeling of instability
Features
• Omega pad: integrated, ring-shaped viscoelastic pad surrounding the patella with two pressure points on the distal section of the pad and two lateral wings at the level of the menisci.
• Train knit design: particularly stretchy, breathable and moisture wicking for excellent wearing comfort.
• Especially soft knit fabric for the hollow of the knee.
• Anatomically knit for an optimum fit and highly secure positioning.
• Compression-reduced edges divert pressure at the ends of the support and thus offer superior wearing comfort.
• Integrated donning aid makes the support easier to put on.
• The same version for right and left.
Mode of action
• The Omega pad redistributes compression away from the patella to the surrounding soft tissues.
• Knee joint movement massages the parapatellar soft tissue structures through the formed padded ring.
• The compression and massage effects accelerate the reabsorption of edema and effusions and help relieve pain.
• The pressure points of the Omega pad exert pressure on the infrapatellar fat pad. They reduce pressure and alleviate pain in the retropatellar area.
• The lateral wings of the Omega pad reach the front parts of the meniscus and reduce pain by exerting intermittent compression.
• Complex stimulation of the proprioceptors has a positive effect on the sensorimotor system and thus on muscle control.
