Unloader One® Custom OA Brace

Unloader One^® is designed to relieve osteoarthritis knee pain and wearing it may even help improve mobility. It features Össur's patented 3-point Leverage System, which combines a single hinge with dual Dynamic Force System™ straps to generate unloading of the affected knee joint.

• Tool-free SmartDosing® dials enable fine-tuned management of the unloading force and can be adjusted even when wearing the brace under clothing.
• Color-coded Quick Fit buckles enable easy application and removal.
• Proprietary Sensil® silicone liners are designed to reduce migration.
• Unloader One® Custom is manufactured to fit an individual‘s contour.

Recommended use for:
