Key Features

1. Custom Fit for Maximum Comfort & Stability

Crafted from lightweight yet durable aluminium, the frame adapts to the natural shape of the leg. The partially mouldable design and secure ergonomic structure prevent slipping and reduce bulk. With seven standard sizes—developed from over 500,000 anatomical measurements—this brace ensures a close, customised fit for most patients.

2. Precise Range of Motion Control

Includes:

• Standard flexion and extension wedges for gradual movement restriction.

• Custom extension blocks (exclusive to the Cross Brace Protocol) set at 60°, 75°, and 90°—ensuring accurate progression and eliminating variability from generic brace dials.

These features ensure exact control throughout each stage of ACL rehabilitation, improving outcomes and confidence for both patients and clinicians.

3. Patient-Friendly Design for Easy Application

Unlike traditional “Z-frame” braces, the fully anterior frame design of the SecuTec Genu makes it easy to apply without moving the knee. The secure clips and rear straps allow fitting while the leg remains in a 90° position, preserving ligament integrity and minimising strain during application or removal.

4. Enhanced Comfort for Long-Term Use

• Streamlined microfibre padding provides breathability and reduces heat build-up.

• Anatomical shaping eliminates pressure points and allows for extended wear.

This comfort-focused design encourages consistent use, essential for compliance with the Cross Brace Protocol.
