This is the third post in a ten-part series on knee braces for osteoarthritis.
The Reliever Air is a custom unloader knee brace manufactured by Townsend Design. It can only be fabricated from a cast mold or leg scan.
A three point pressure system provides "unloading" and it is indicated for patients with unicompartmental OA.
This brace is similar to the Reliever but is intended for patients that require "less brace". The Reliever Air is meant for patients with soft tissue, ligament instability, severe OA, or unique anatomy. This knee brace provides substantial stability and protection.
The adjustable hinge on this brace is placed on the side of the knee with the arthritis, so medial OA gets an adjustable hinge on the medial side of the brace. L-1846 is the code. If you need more information on billing, pricing, or fitting instructions please click the link below.
