Townsend fabricates traditional full shell OA braces that provide maximum unloading and pain relief for patients who have moderate to severe unicompartment OA. The braces feature rigid carbon graphite shells combined with Townsend’s patented hinge motion, suspension and rotation control technology. Townsend’s exclusive Loadshifter Relief Mechanism allows you to increase corrective force to optimize compartment unloading and patient comfort.
This adjustable mechanism located above the hinge opposite the affected compartment allows the femoral shell to be shifted to increase corrective force and amplify three point unloading.
