Yale - Hip Brace

Hip Brace with rotation inhibiting stabilisation element, inclusive lining

Intended use

due to the spiral shaped structure of the "stabilisator" (thermoplastically mouldable), a centering force effects the hip joint, which holds the joint head inside the acetabulum
the principle corresponds to the stabilisation of fixating "hip-leg-bandages" used in orthopaedics and trauma surgery
at the same time, the dynamic muscle stabilisation of the hip joint is not prevented and the remaining motion range guarantees a smooth and lively gait pattern
80 °flexion of the hip joint limited to approx. 80°
abduction limited to approx. 20°
concentrated reduction of the rotational level

Indication

partial immobilisation of the hip joint, for special post-surgical care of minimally invasive total endoprosthesis implant of the hip (hip-TEP)

Contraindication
