Breg PTO Standard Patella Knee Brace

The Breg PTO Knee Brace is a highly effective treatment for reducing pain and instability caused by patellar maltracking. It is known as one of the most reliable braces in the world for addressing issues with the kneecap (patella). The unique design includes a patella buttress that attaches to the side hinge bars, providing increased force on the patella to normalize tracking during activities such as walking and running. This Patella Tracking Orthosis (PTO) hinge dynamically adjusts compression through a lateral pressure plate on the patella buttress based on the degree of knee bend. This allows for effective stabilization of patella maltracking, subluxations/dislocations, and patella instability.

The hinged design, dynamic patella donut capability, and lightweight materials make the Breg PTO a favorite choice for those in need of knee support. The use of soft Airmesh material in this model ensures breathability and is latex-free. The "standard" model features lightweight aluminum for durability, making it suitable for everyday use, rehabilitation of common patella overuse injuries, and non-contact sports. It is important to refer to the sizing chart image before ordering to ensure the correct size.

The hinge of the PTO brace adjusts the tension generated by the hinge bars to pull the buttress down around the patella, enhancing patella stabilization. Its "dynamic" functionality means that it works while the patient performs normal knee movements during activities like walking or running. The progressive compression of the lateral soft tissue, with peak force reached at full extension, enhances the positive effects of the patella buttress. The use of breathable Airmesh material ensures comfort for the wearer.
