Hypex® Lite Knee Brace
This product is available in pediatric sizes.
Knee orthoses with 4 point principle and extension/flexion-limitations
The Hypex® Lite Knee Brace stabilises and relieves the knee during conservative and post-operative rehabilitation. Straps and shells may be adjusted individually for high wearing comfort, shifting out of place is prevented. The Hypex® Lite ensures the same stability as a rigid frame orthosis. The continuously adjustable extension stop allows for physiological hyperextension of the knee.
