A22™

Product catalog summary

Product Overview:
The document provides detailed information about the Donjoy A22, the world's first custom-made titanium functional knee brace. It is designed for active lifestyle patients who do not engage in impact sports and wish to safely return to their previous activity levels after a knee ligament injury.

Key Features:

Optimal Comfort: Padded cells absorb load, promoting stability and knee fit.
Freedom to Perform: Aerodynamic integration of straps and protectors reduces the brace's profile, enhancing comfort, speed, and cadence.
Four-Point Leverage System: Provides significant protection by reducing ligament strain, particularly on the ACL.
ForcePoint Hinge: Generates resistance in the last 25° of knee extension, helping to keep the knee away from risky positions.
High-Tech Rigid Structure: Antimicrobial coating neutralizes odors while increasing comfort and durability.

Clinical Efficacy:

Improves joint mechanics and symmetry between knees.
Increases flexion angles and reduces non-contact ACL injury risk by 60%.
Potential benefits in rehabilitation program progression and reduction of new ACL injuries.

Protection and Performance:

The brace design significantly reduces tension on ligaments, enhancing patient confidence post-ACL reconstruction.
Anterior calf strap applies active load to prevent anterior tibial translation.
Posterior thigh strap pushes the femur towards the frontal plane.

Statistics and Risks:

Individuals with a previous ACL tear have a 15 times higher risk of a second ACL injury within 12 months post-reconstruction.
Women are 2 to 10 times more likely to suffer an ACL injury in any sport.
50% of ACL injuries occur between ages 15 to 25.
The risk of ACL injury in the opposite (healthy) knee is twice as high as in the operated knee.
60%-80% of ACL injuries occur without contact.
Psychological factors, mainly fear of re-injury, influence the ability to return to sports.

Ordering Information:
Each A22 is custom-made to order, and leg measurements must be taken with the CCMI MARK III device.
