OverviewEndoprosthesis is often the result of degenerative joint disease that destroys cartilage, capsule and soft tissues. Osteophytes on the femoral head and acetabular rim restrict motion and cause pain. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint; causes of degeneration include dysplasia, growth disturbances, trauma, metabolic disorders and overweight.
Product purposeThe AM-SB-01/CCA hip orthosis with side splint is intended for postoperative stabilization after hip replacement. The side splint limits undesirable movements (excessive adduction, flexion, rotation) that may cause endoprosthesis loosening or displacement. The device provides adjustable range-of-motion control to support rehabilitation and protect the implant during recovery.
Key features- Side splint to resist excessive adduction, flexion and rotation
- Adjustable range-of-motion for controlled flexion/extension and adduction/abduction
- Integration of BOA® Fit System and CCA Compression System for precise, secure, non-elastic fastening and micro-adjustment
- Rigid hip supports (ABS) to distribute belt pressure and reduce local pressure points
- Universal design fits both left and right hips
How the splint worksThe JOINT FLEX CONTROL hinge is low-profile aluminum enabling smooth flexion/extension adjustment and control of abduction/adduction between 0° and 25°. A drop lock is set with a hex key and provides ROM stops at 0°, 20°, 45°, 70°, 90°, 110° and 125°. ROM adjustment requires a hex key to prevent inadvertent angle changes. The abduction/adduction hinge is made of durable ABS with carbon fibre elements.
Materials and systems- ActiveDistance™: three-layer off-loading lamination (EVA foam with non-elastic polyamide layer). Self-gripping, non-elastic fabric; stabilizing, comfortable and waterproof.
- ActivePren™: three-layer active material (neoprene foam core with elastic jersey covers), soft, flexible and resistant to skin abrasion in high-compression areas.
- BOA® Fit System: dial-and-lace micro-adjustment for fast, precise fitting; durable for product lifetime.
- CCA Compression System: steel wire and polyamide grommet fastening for firm, non-elastic compression with adjustable levels and attachment options.
