Breg Inc. has announced the launch of four new orthopedic products, including a postoperative knee brace for patients recovering from knee surgery and injuries.
Building on the telescoping design of the original T Scope, the T Scope Premier has a refined range-of-motion hinge, a simplified user interface, redesigned pads and cuffs and an optional Bridge Tech Incision Pad for adjustable comfort around the incision site.
“We developed the T Scope Premier with input from orthopedic surgeons and patients to enhance ease of use, comfort and fit. We expect this brace to have a significant impact on the growing postoperative recovery market,” Brad Lee, president of Breg, stated in a company press release.
The company also introduced the Ultra CTS Ankle Brace, a custom treatment system that transforms from acute ankle brace to low-profile activity brace as the patient progresses through rehabilitation. The brace’s PerformaFit upright stays attached for acute injury and can be detached for return to activity. It also has Performathane technology, which custom forms to the injured ankle, constantly reforming with edema reduction.
The Carlsbad Cervical Collar provides cervical spine immobilization with full adjustability and comfort. Radiolucent for use under X-ray, CT and MRI, the collar has dual height adjustments, six size settings and half-size increments.
Achilles Wedges place the foot in planter flexion to offload the Achilles tendon during rehabilitation. The wedges provide customized height adjustments with four interlocking wedges that maintain an angle of plantar flexion at 5°, 10°, 15° or 20°.
