| TOTAL
SUPPORT SYSTEM™ |
|
Total Support System™ is an unique
system found in CTi® knee brace and has been tested
and proven by hundreds of thousands of patients and premier
athletes worldwide
A:
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Support (ACL)
The tibial capture
system (lower arrow)
encompasses the tibia
and parallels
the tibial crest to
help inhibit anterior
and pivotal tibial
excursion caused by
ACL laxity. The non-elastic
upper cruciate strap
(upper arrow) provides
an opposing force on
the
femur
to help stabilize the
knee.
B:
Medial Cruciate Ligament (MCL) & Lateral Cruciate Ligament
(LCL) Support
A 6-point system provides
excellent medial and lateral support. The rigid lateral
arms on the brace frame,
condylar support at the joint, non-elastic straps and
lower medial cuff combine to help control medial and
lateral instability. Arrow 1s indicate LCL support;
arrow 2s indicate MCL support.
C:
Posterior Cruciate Ligament Support (PCL)
The
rigid femoral component of the frame (upper arrow)
and non-elastic lower cruciate strap (lower arrow)
stabilize the PCL.
If needed,
a PCL strap/pad option can be added to apply additional
pressure to the thigh. An anatomically-shaped Gastroc
Force Plate is included with this option to provide
an opposing force to the calf.
