The Unloader® pioneered osteoarthritis knee bracing. In 1986, the inventors of a single upright ligament brace noticed that an increasing number of patients in their orthopaedic clinic had medial meniscectomies and associated pain and/or instabilities. After numerous discussions with orthopaedic surgeons, they looked closely at adapting their ligament brace to unload the medial compartment of the knee. The Adjustable Dynamic Joint. In the early ‘90s, it became evident that if the hinge was adjustable, treatment could be fine-tuned. The Adjustable Dynamic Joint was created and its use in a custom-made brace that could be hinged medially or laterally received world-wide attention. By the mid-‘90s, the new Unloader ADJ brace was being used around the globe and the name Unloader became synonymous with OA knee bracing. The 3-Point Leverage System is born. The theory was that, by adding a valgus bend to a single, medial upright, the upper and lower shells of the brace frame would act as leverage arms when the counter force of a diagonal Dynamic Force Strap was applied. This would unload weight from the medial compartment of the knee, relieving pain. Improving on a classic. The last decade has witnessed the rapid expansion of the Unloader product line. New models (both custom and off-the-shelf) and a variety of product improvements have been added to improve patient comfort and compliance. Today, there is an Unloader brace for every conceivable activity level and body type. Testing the theory. This new application was proposed to a patient who had medial pain but wished to continue skiing. The idea to alter the mechanical forces with a valgus hinge bend applied to the medial side worked! The patient felt immediate pain relief. The latest technology: Unloader One.® Unloader One is the most signficant re-design of the Unloader concept since its inception. Available in both custom and OTS models, Unloader One offers a unique twist on the traditional 3-Point Leverage System. Instead of an Adjustable Dynamic Joint and Dynamic Force Strap, Unloader One features a streamlined, flexible upright combined with two Dynamic Force Straps. Add a racheting Dynamic Force Control System and padding that features Össur® Sensil® Silicone and Unloader One offers superior unloading power in a product that virtually eliminates migration. The first study. After further consultation with the medical community, a groundbreaking scientific study examining the efficacy of lateral and medial hinge placement for treating medial OA was conducted. This study concluded that medial valgus bracing resulted in significant reduction of pain. With a scientifically proven method and patents in place, these new custom knee braces were launched. Quickly, this viable option for treating unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee gathered momentum. Eventually, lateral hinge placement was used to treat lateral compartment symptoms. RECENT CLINICAL RESEARCH Recent clinical research demonstrates that the Unloader One provides the following benefits for patients: (1) decreased pain, (2) improvement in function and (3) reduction in the usage of pain medication.

By replacing the Adjustable Dynamic Joint Leverage System that unloaded the medial compartment of the with a flexible upright and incorporating Dual Dynamic Force knee. Over time, the original Unloader hinge was replaced with Straps to disperse the counter force across two points of contact, an Adjustable Dynamic Joint that enabled fine-tuned treatment. we streamlined The Unloader® to a sleek, lightweight brace, To this day, most Unloaders feature this same combination of an improving user comfort and compliance while increasing the Adjustable Dynamic Joint and a Dynamic Force Strap. unloading power by up to 50%. * For more information, visit www.ossur.com/unloader osteoarthritis bracing custom custom osteoarthritis bracing Product Selector LigamentPatientPatientProduct Features ProductSupportDisproportionActivity Level and Benefits Level unloader one® 15.5”h (39cm) 16oz (454g) Premium Product unloader one® plus 15.5”h (39cm) 24-27.5oz (680-780g) Premium Product unloader select 16.5”h (41.8cm) 26oz (738g) low mid high low mid high low mid high low mid high low mid high low mid high low mid high low mid high low mid high quick selection criteria • Best solution for most patients • Lightest weight, lowest profile design • Most comfortable/breathable • Ideal for all activity levels • Not recommended for high contact sports low mid high low mid high quick selection criteria • Larger patients with excess soft tissue • Ideal for all activity levels • Not recommended for high contact sports low mid high low mid high quick selection criteria • Best single-upright unloading solution for contact activities • Not recommended for patients with excess soft tissue unloader adj 16.5”h (41.8cm) 26oz (738g) low mid high low mid high low mid high quick selection criteria • Optional solution for patients with excess soft tissue • Geriatric adaptations available: numbered straps, colored tabs & easy-grip elastic loops • Not recommended for smaller patients cti® oa 17”h (43.2cm) 24oz (681g) low mid high low mid high low mid high low mid quick selection criteria Premium Product 8 • Best solution for OA patients with ligament instabilities • Ideal for all high activity/contact levels • Double-upright design • Not recommended for optimal relief of OA knee pain absent ligament instability high custom osteoarthritis bracing Accessories & Options Unloader Accessory/OptionOne® ROM Kit (Flex/Ext Stops) Spring Lock Hinge Pediatric Hinge Doe Skin Liners Ultra Grip Liners Sensil® Silicone Liners Supra Condylar Suspension Pad Elastic Calf Suspension Strap Waist Belt Numbered Straps Color-coded Straps EZ Grip Loops Undersleeve Patella Cup Anti-Migration System * Includes Pro Sport, Standard and Vapor models Unloader One®Plus Unloader Unloader SelectADJ CTi®OA* unloader one custom The Unloader One® is a comfortable, lightweight, low-profile brace that provides excellent suspension and unloading leverage.

If using a smartphone, we suggest you download one of the free grid camera applications. This will help minimize angle distortion. • Apply landmarks to the leg with a marker at the medial and lateral joint spaces,1 plus a line along the tibial crest between the center of the tibial tuberosity2 and 6" (15cm) below. Extra landmarks can be added for better accuracy during chart analysis (e.g., outline patella). 3 4 • With the patient in a weight-bearing position, obtain the M-L measurement at the joint space and record this value on the patient sticker.3 • Measure circumference at 3" (7.5cm) and 6" (15cm) both above and below the patella4 and record these values on the patient sticker. • Apply patient sticker 6" (15cm) above mid-patella for anterior view photo. 5 6 • If using a digital camera, adjust the height of the camera stand until the camera is level with the middle of the patella. If using a smartphone, aim and hold the phone so the lens is level with the middle of the patella. • Move the camera stand (or smart phone) approximately 2-3 feet (61-91cm) away from the patient, capturing roughly 8" (20cm) both above and below mid-patella in the viewfinder.5 Note: Align the camera with the leg to eliminate any internal or external rotation. • Have the patient turn 90,° reapply patient sticker 6" (15cm) above joint line, and take a picture of the lateral view.6 • Complete the Online Data Form at www.ossur.com/dms, attach the photos and submit. coordinate cast System (CCS) 1 • With the patient in a weight-bearing position, use the calipers to obtain the M-L measurement at the joint space and record the value on the order form. • Mark the patient’s leg at mid-patella, as well as 3", 6" and 8" above and below mid- patella.1 • With the ankle held at 90 degrees, record the circumference in centimeters at each of the marked points from Step 1 above on the Custom Knee Brace order form.2 2 If measuring for a CTi brace: Measure the patient’s tibial alignment using the standing graduated slider.3 At the mark 3" below mid-patella, bring the tool towards the lateral side of the calf until it just touches the skin. Slide the horizontal bar down until it just touches the tibial crest. Read the number on the horizontal bar at the point of intersection with the tibial crest. Repeat this at the mark 8" below mid-patella. Record these two measurements on the order form next to the 3” BELOW and 8” BELOW bubbles. 3 • Center the patient’s leg with mid-patella mark on line 5 of the tracing board.4 You can use the centerline on the tracing tube to help align the mid-patella directly on line 5. Note: If the patient has excessive tissue, use the knee center block to raise the knee off the board. This helps maintain a proper profile of the leg. 4 • At the top of the board, hold the base of the tracing device flat on the board with the pen tip facing the leg. Keep in contact with the leg while tracing the profile down to the bottom of the board.5 • Without moving the leg, repeat on the other side. 5 • On the Custom Knee Brace order form, record the number where the tracing line intersects each of the nine coordinates lines for sides A and B. 26 ordering information All Osteoarthritis Braces: Coolsleeve and Coolmax® Sleeve White, Sizing Height Weight 4' 10" 5' 0" 5' 2" 5' 4" 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 200 210 220 230 240 250 260 270 280 290 300 5' 6" 5' 8" 5' 10" 6' 0" 6' 2" 6' 4" Small Medium Large XLarge All Osteoarthritis Braces: Coolsleeve and Coolmax® Sleeve White Coolsleeve1 Coolmax Sleeve White2 B-25001010X B-25003180X 1 X = 2 (Small), 3 (Medium), 4 (Large), or 0 (XLarge) 2 X = 2 (Small), 3 (Medium), or 4 (Large) All Osteoarthritis Braces: Other Sleeves Size Circumference Small Neoprene Undersleeve Neoprene Oversleeve Sports Undersleeve <15" 20251 20051 20682 15-18" 20252 20052 20683 Large 18-19.5" 20253 20053 20684 XLarge 19.5-21.5" 20254 20054 20685 2XLarge 21.5-24.5" 20255 20055 3XLarge 24.5-28" 20256 20056 4XLarge 28-34" 20257 20057 Medium Unloader One® Custom Right Left Measurements1 B-115500111 B-115600111 DMS , CCS, CAD, cast mold 3-5 days Black + 12 painted colors (see page 10) B-115501711 B-115601711 DMS , CCS, CAD, cast mold 3-5 days Grey Ships Color 1 DMS = Digital Measuring System, CMS = Custom Measuring System, CCS = Coordinate Cast System, CAD = Computer Aided Design ordering information Unloader One® Custom: Silicone Liners & AMS Wraps (Patient Name Required to Order)1 Size Thigh Liner2 Calf Liner2 AMS Wrap Kit2 XSmall B-409x00Y21 B-419x00Y11 B-71521x0Y1 Small B-409x00Y22 B-419x00Y12 B-71521x0Y2 Medium B-409x00Y23 B-419x00Y13 B-71521x0Y3 Large B-409x00Y24 B-419x00Y14 B-71521x0Y4 XLarge B-409x00Y25 B-419x00Y15 B-71521x0Y5 1 Call Össur Customer Service at 1-800-233-6263 to determine sizing 2 X = 7 (Right Medial/Left Lateral) or 8 (Left Medial/Right Lateral), Y = 1 (Black) or 3 (Grey) Unloader One Custom: Miscellaneous Accessories & Options Description Part #
