medi PT Control II Patella Tracking Knee Brace

The medi PT Control II is a sophisticated clinical orthosis engineered for the management of severe patellar tracking disorders, lateral subluxation, and patellofemoral malalignment. By integrating a dynamic patellar tracking system with dual-axis polycentric hinges, this brace creates a Zero-Friction corrective environment. The PT Control II features an adjustable air-cushioned or foam buttress that applies a consistent, medializing force to the kneecap throughout the entire range of motion. Designed for patients who require more than a soft sleeve, this functional brace provides the mechanical leverage necessary to "re-track" the patella into the trochlear groove while simultaneously stabilizing the collateral ligaments.

Clinical Features & Patient Benefits

• Dynamic Patellar Tracking System: Features an adjustable buttress that provides "Zero-Friction" medializing pressure, ensuring the kneecap stays correctly seated during bending and straightening.
• Polycentric Dual-Axis Hinges: Features high-integrity hinges that mimic the knee's natural motion while providing "Zero-Friction" protection against lateral instability.
• Soft-Grip Breathable Fabric: Constructed with medical-grade materials that facilitate "Zero-Friction" moisture management and temperature regulation, ideal for long-term wear in warm climates.
• Range of Motion (ROM) Control: Includes adjustable stops to limit extension and flexion if needed, providing a "Zero-Friction" stabilized path for post-operative recovery or ligamentous healing.

The Clinical Authority: Why Professionals Trust the medi PT Control II

Orthopedic specialists and Rehabilitation Practitioners specify the medi PT Control II for its "corrective leverage." Its "Zero-Friction" environment is the gold standard for treating severe Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS), patellar tilt, and post-surgical stabilization following a lateral release or MPFL reconstruction. Unlike soft stabilizers, the rigid hinge framework prevents the brace from rotating or migrating, ensuring the corrective buttress stays exactly where it is clinically needed. This targeted approach is highly effective for reducing the inflammatory response in the retro-patellar space, allowing for a safer return to functional walking and athletic activity.

FAQ: Stabilization & Daily Use

Is this brace better than a pull-on sleeve for tracking?
Yes. The "Zero-Friction" rigid hinges provide the mechanical anchor necessary to apply much higher corrective forces to the patella than a soft sleeve can achieve.

Can I wear this while exercising?
Absolutely. The PT Control II is designed for "Zero-Friction" active use, providing the mechanical security needed for hiking, golf, or rehabilitative exercise after injury.

Does it fit either leg?
No. To ensure the "Zero-Friction" corrective buttress applies pressure in the correct medial direction, you must specify the Left or Right knee when ordering.

Specifications & Sizing Table

Selection is based on the circumference of the thigh (6" above the mid-patella). Measure carefully for an optimal "Zero-Friction" clinical fit:
