DeRoyal Contoured Cutaway Knee Immobilizer
The DeRoyal Contoured Cutaway Knee Immobilizer is a specialized clinical orthosis engineered for the absolute immobilization of the knee joint following major surgery, ligamentous repair, or acute bony trauma. By utilizing a unique "cutaway" foam design, this device creates a Zero-Friction customizable fit that can be trimmed to accommodate varying leg circumferences while maintaining rigid structural integrity. The system features medial, lateral, and posterior aluminum stays that work in unison to prevent all flexion and extension, providing the clinical security necessary for the early stages of tissue healing and graft protection.

Clinical Features & Patient Benefits
- Customizable Cutaway Design: Features side panels that can be "cut away" to provide a "Zero-Friction" anatomical fit for a wide range of patient sizes without overlapping or bulk.
- Rigid Aluminum Stays: Features contoured posterior stays and adjustable medial/lateral stays that provide "Zero-Friction" total immobilization to protect healing ligaments and fractures.
- Breathable Foam Laminate: Constructed with high-quality foam that ensures "Zero-Friction" comfort and moisture management during the extended periods of wear required for immobilization.
- Loop-and-Lock Strapping System: Utilizes high-tension straps to maintain a secure, "Zero-Friction" stabilized position, preventing the brace from migrating down the leg.
The Clinical Authority: Why Professionals Trust DeRoyal
Orthopedic surgeons and trauma specialists specify the DeRoyal Cutaway Immobilizer for its "universal" clinical utility. Its "Zero-Friction" environment is the gold standard for managing post-operative ACL/PCL reconstructions, patellar tendon repairs, and stable femoral fractures. By providing a rigid mechanical hard-stop to all joint movement, it prevents the micro-trauma associated with unintended muscle contractions or weight-bearing during the acute phase of recovery. This targeted approach is essential for ensuring successful surgical outcomes and preventing joint contractures in a protected position.
FAQ: Fitting & Stability
How do I know what length to choose?
For "Zero-Friction" stability, the immobilizer should generally extend from the upper thigh to just above the ankle. Common lengths include 12", 16", 20", and 24".
Can I wash the immobilizer?
Yes. The "Zero-Friction" stays are removable, allowing the foam liners to be hand-washed to maintain hygiene during the long-term recovery process.
Does it fit either leg?
Yes. The anatomical design is universal, providing a "Zero-Friction" clinical fit for both the Left and Right leg.
