Ossur Unloader One X
Product Description
Wearing the Unloader One X may help improve mobility and function by generating unicompartmental unloading of the knee joint for people with knee osteoarthritis and degenerative meniscal tears.
Multiple peer-reviewed clinical and bio-mechanical studies have investigated Össur’s unique 3-Point Leverage System and Dynamic Force Straps, which are easily fine-tuned using the SmartDosing® system, to provide unloading of the knee joint
Features
