Short Description
Breg (Bledsoe) 20.50 Patellofemoral Knee Brace dynamically supports the patella through full knee flexion. Pneumatic force flap treats subluxation and poor tracking; lightweight magnesium frame - only 12 inches long.
The Breg 20.50 Knee Brace provides support between 20° and 50° of flexion, where the patella is at risk to abnormal tracking, subluxation, and dislocation. The 20.50 Patellofemoral Brace dynamically supports the patella through this range of flexion by increasing pressure of the bladder and underlying buttress against the lateral border of the patella as the knee moves between 20° and 50°. The buttress is dependent on position of the hinge and frame. When the frame is extended, the straps of the buttress are most taut and offer the most amount of pressure and control against the patella, inhibiting subluxation.
The Breg/Bledsoe 20.50 specialized pneumatic buttress begins to tighten immediately as the knee starts to bend, with the strongest stabilizing force felt between 30 and 40 degrees. This dual upright brace comes prefabricated in a 12” (30 cm) magnesium frame, and can be customized to a 14” (36 cm) aluminum frame (red for brace color). It's well suited for everyday and athletic use.
