The new unilateral knee joints, like our well-known system, have been developed modularly. The modular design simplifies the adaptation and maintenance of the joints and makes them more economical. All moveable components can be replaced at any time. The knee joint can be equipped or adapted to meet the requirements of the patient. It is possible for you to use one joint type for various purposes when treating a patient.
The functional construction of the knee joint allows theretrofitting or upgrading of individual functions at any time. The joints feature special plastic bearing bushings and do not require lubrication. The moveable components are easily accessible and, if required, can be replaced at any time.
Since the design of the knee joint allows for straight lower leg bars, bars with contoured calf are no longer needed. Unilateral system bars made of aluminium are available for the connection to the ankle bars as well as to theproximal extension of the construction.
