Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injuries, their prevalence, risk factors, and the benefits of using knee braces, specifically the A22™ custom knee brace by DJO Global.
ACL Injury Statistics:
  • Women are 2 to 10 times more likely to injure their ACL compared to men.
  • 50% of ACL injuries occur in individuals aged 15 to 25.
  • 60%–80% of ACL injuries are non-contact.
  • The risk of ACL injury to the opposite knee is twice that of the reconstructed knee.
  • Individuals who have torn their ACL have a 15 times greater risk of a second injury within 12 months post-reconstruction.
Bracing Benefits:
  • Bracing reduces ACL reinjury by 3 times while skiing.
  • The 4-Points-of-Leverage frame design significantly reduces strain on the ACL.
  • Knee bracing offers increased patient confidence post-ACL reconstruction.
Product Features:
  • The A22™ knee brace is custom-made, featuring a titanium frame for optimal weight, strength, and profile balance.
  • It includes an anti-microbial coating for odor neutralization and increased comfort.
  • Cushioning cells absorb shock and promote stability.
  • The FourcePoint hinge improves joint mechanics, increases flexion angles, and decreases non-contact ACL injury rates by 60%.
Clinical Efficacy:
  • The FourcePoint hinge engages in the last 25° of extension to keep knees out of at-risk positions.
  • It serves as a useful training tool for future ACL injury prevention and rehabilitation.
Ordering Information:
  • Each A22 brace is custom-made with a 12-month warranty for performance and active levels, and a 6-month warranty for collision level.
  • Size options range from S to XXL, with specific measurements for thigh and calf.
Knee Protection Program: DJO Global offers a program where they will pay a surgical insurance deductible if a patient re-ruptures a reconstructed ACL while wearing a properly fitted brace within one year of purchase.
