The ROMPS brace was built to offer durable, dependable support to patients of every activity level.

By offering varying heights and designs, the ROMPS series ensures your patients will receive the optimal brace for their specific needs. One of the newest in our proud line, these knee braces continue in our pursuit of providing the best in bracing for your patients.

  • Stabilize & comfortably contain the patellar compartment
  • Control flexion & extension with patented, adjustable aluminum rods

ACL Lite

The Gladiator ACL Lite braces were built to offer durable, dependable support to patients of every activity level.

By offering varying heights and designs, the Gladiator ACL Lite series ensures your patients will receive the optimal brace for protection and support of ligament injuries and instabilities.

Breathable liners laminated with silicone eliminate migration and ensure proper leg positioning for optimal functionality, support and comfort.

  • Provide stability and support following injury or reconstruction of the ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL and menisci
  • Decrease pain with ACL/PCL injuries


Knee Immobilizer

The Breg T Scope® Premier Post-Op knee brace provides support and protects range-of-motion for patients who have undergone knee surgery, sustained a knee injury, or are experiencing instability.

The brace is comfortable, lightweight, simple to adjust and user friendly. The Breg T Scope® utilizes a patented hinge to control the range of motion of the patient’s knee that has an easy to use extension lock that allows the brace to operate in 5 positions of knee extension.

The brace also uses telescoping calf and thigh sleeves for adjustable sizing. In addition, trimmable straps and lock clips allow customization to ensure correct and secure placement of the brace around the knee.

  • ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL repairs/injuries
  • Tibial plateau fractures
  • Osteochondral repairs
  • Meniscal repairs
  • Patella tendon repairs
  • Condylar fractures
  • Sprains/strains of the knee
  • HTOs (High Tibial Osteotomy)

  • A clinical trial assessed whether unloader braces (those that modify joint loading with external stems, hinges and straps) are effective in treating osteoarthritis of the knee, and found significant improvements in pain, stiffness, physical functioning and disease-specific quality of life (J Bone Joint Surg Am. 1999;81(4):539-48).
  • A systematic review concludes that patellar bracing actively affects patellar tracking, significantly decreasing pain and improving functioning, by reducing compression on the patella’s lateral aspect as well as internal femur rotation (Cochrane Rev 2002.CD002267).
  • A 2005 study found that patients using patellar bracing demonstrated statistically significant increases in ROM and progressed to advanced weight-bearing exercises sooner and with less pain than patients utilizing exercise alone (J Orthop Sports Phys Ther.2005;35(4):210-219).
  • A survey of orthopedic surgeons regarding treatment of ACL injuries found that 97% prescribed braces for ACL- deficient patients, 87% for ACL-reconstructed patients, and that the prescribed duration of use was normally 9 to 12 months (Orthopedics.2003;26(7):701-6).
  • According to a randomized controlled trial of 98 patients that assessed the efficacy of intermittent and continuous traction for patients with knee osteoarthritis, joint traction was found to improve pain and physical function loss related to knee osteoarthritis (Clin Rehabil. 2013 Apr;27(4):347-54).
  • A study of 50 patients experiencing osteoarthritis of the knee found that Mechanical Traction had a statistically and clinically significant positive effect. Researchers noted improvement in functional outcome after application of Mechanical Traction and may be because of relief of abnormal pressure on nociceptive receptor systems, reduced stasis and edema, toned muscles, and restored elasticity and resiliency (International Journal of Science and Research. 2014 Oct;10 (3)).
