Stabilization by limiting range of motion for complex knee injuries.
The SecuTec® Genu is a lightweight but sturdy knee orthosis, designed to fit the anatomy of the leg. A torn ligament, collateral ligament injury or operation on the meniscus can mean that the knee joint needs to be stabilized from outside for a period of time. The orthosis is easy to put on and take off, fits perfectly and is very comfortable to wear.
Strong stabilization of the knee
Extremely lightweight and flat
High level of wearing comfort

FRONTAL VERSION: 
1. Easily positioned at the front and fastened by the patient, reducing stress on the injured knee 
2. High degree of rotational stability based on anatomically contoured frame design, including for the edges of the tibia

HIGH-TECH HEALING POWERS
With the SecuTec Genu, being sturdy and being lightweight are not mutually exclusive. This is made possible by a special, very strong light metal alloy. Breathable, non-slip pads ensure that the orthosis sits securely and comfortably on the leg. In 2007, this concept also impressed the jury for the Small and Medium-Sized Businesses Initiative. They awarded the SecuTec Genu the Innovation Prize in the Industry category.
 
STABILITY AND COMFORT
The SecuTec Genu is simply put on to the leg from the front. There is therefore no need to bend the knee joint sharply. This minimizes stress peaks on the ligaments or ligament structures that are under strain. Orthotists can easily adapt the frame to fit any particular leg shape.
