Össur Unloader One X Wearing & Maintenance

The custom Össur Unloader One X knee brace is extremely low-profile that provides excellent suspension and knee unloading /offloading. 

This unloader incorporates Dual Dynamic Force Straps, Dynamic Force Control System, a perforated frame with soft edges to contour easily, Sensil Silicone and a calf strap to improve comfort and reduce brace movement, uses Smart Dosing which is a simplified, single-hand dial for easy adjustment and the brace is fully machine washable. 

It is used for knee conditions that require unicompartment (one sided) medial or lateral load reduction such as:

  • mild to severe knee osteoarthritis
  • articular cartilage defects
  • avascular necrosis
  • tibial plateau fractures

10 Years of Research Supports Unloading Knee Braces for Osteoarthritis!

“Results reviewed the evidence from 14 published articles. Almost all articles supported knee brace use and showed it to decrease pain, improve function, and improve the quality of life of patients.”

“One study in 2017 followed patients for longterm and found knee bracing to be more cost-effective than total knee replacement, and could replace the need for surgery.

“Unloader braces are an economical and effective treatment for unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis. They can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life and potentially delay the need for surgery.”
