| Available in three models: The Standard Comfy Knee (K101), The Goniometer Knee (GK101), and The Spring-Loaded Goniometer Knee (SGK101). All edges are soft and padded so that there are no pressure areas. The splints are interchangeable for either extremity. An optional Knee Pad (K-Pad) slides over the center strap and can be ordered for any knee splint to protect the knee.
The Standard Comfy Knee Orthosis - K101 (one cover) is moldable and particularly user friendly. Simply bend the orthoses into the desired position. Thigh and calf cuffs are also bendable to allow for optimal fit. These orthosis are well padded, minimizing the chances of skin breakdown. The Standard Knee has several applications including use as a resting splint or for the gradual extension of non-fixed knee contractures. One size fits most adults.
Comfy Goniometer Knee Orthosis - GK10 (one cover) treats non-fixed contractures of the knee. Geared to increasing knee extension, this orthotic works in the same way as serial casting, allowing progressive extension by gradually adjusting and re-adjusting the degree of extension. Easily positioned and re-positioned at 10° increments with the use of an Allen wrench (which is conveniently stored in the frame of the orthotic under the cover).
Comfy Spring-Loaded Goniometer Knee Orthosis
- SGK101 (one cover) functions similar to the Goniometer model with the added feature of having a spring that gently pushes the extremity to the adjusted degree of extension. The spring strength is fixed. It is also available with a special order heavy-duty spring which provides more force.
• Set range of motion desired with Goniometer.
• Spring-Loaded Goniometer gently pushes to extension.
• No exposed metal struts — Goniometer protected with
padded cover.
• Goniometer lock can be set for gradual extension of joint or can be fixed in static position.
• Soft foam padded Comfy covers absorb moisture and prevents skin maceration.
• Excellent for patients with strong flexion synergy.
