Unloader One

The best osteoarthritis (OA) bracing technology is available off-the-shelf

Össur’s Unloader knee braces offer an effective treatment for the symptoms of osteoarthritis by unloading the side of the knee affected by osteoarthritis. A gentle force is applied to lift the affected bone away from the surface which is causing the discomfort, resulting in a  reduction in pain and an increase in the wearer’s mobility.

The Unloader One off-the-shelf model is an affordable and effective brace fitted by clinicians.

 

Unloader One OTS: An effective treatment option for knee pain

Many people choose to treat their OA symptoms,  such as pain in the knees when walking, stiffness and swelling of the knee joints, with oral medications, injections and surgery. However, there is another option. Knee bracing for knee OA is less invasive and can be less costly than these other treatments. Plus, it is simple, safe and clinically proven to work.

Light-weight and unobtrusive

Unloader One® combines a streamlined, flexible upright with Dual Dynamic Force Straps to generate more unloading leverage than any Unloader to date.

Dual Dynamic Force Straps provide greater unloading leverage with a racheting Dynamic Force Control System enables on-the-spot self-dosing. Liners are coated with Össur Sensil® Silicone Technology to eliminate migration. The flexible perforated shells conform easily to patient anatomy, giving Unloader One OTS an excellent out-of-the box fit.


Live Again With a Proven Breakthrough in Knee Pain Treatment Options

Are you suffering from knee stiffness in the morning, knee pain that intensifies when you ascend or descend stairs, restricted range of motion, a crunching sensation in the knee, knee weakness, or knee swelling? These are all typical symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis.

Perhaps you’ve chosen to endure all those grueling hours of joint pain. Or you’re treating your knee arthritis with oral medications, injections, or possibly the most extreme option - surgery.

These approaches certainly can help alleviate the suffering associated with knee osteoarthritis. However, as you may have discovered, each of these knee pain treatment options can have serious drawbacks. Fortunately, there’s a far more effective solution for knee OA.
