Ohio Willow Wood’s GeoFlex and GeoLite Knees

Ohio Willow Wood's GeoFlex" and GeoLite" Knees are especially beneficial to new amputees or those in activity levels one or two. Both designs can accommodate a hip flexion contracture without losing knee stability, and return to full extension when flexed up to 20 degrees under load.

The GeoFlex knee features added stability and stance flexion. The new roller-bearing design allows increased durability and longevity. Refined friction adjustment creates more stability and is easier to use.

The GeoLite, which does not include the stance flexion feature, is lighter weight. It has a lower profile and is more affordable than comparable knees. The GeoLite is one of the lightest, shortest polycentric knees available.

NeuroFlex Abnormal Tone & Spasticity Knee Brace

New NeuroFlex technology is now available with the introduction of the NeuroFlex® Eclipse" ROM Knee. The multifunctional hinge allows static, range-of-motion, or low-load prolonged-stretch orthotic therapy. With involuntary muscle contraction, the therapeutic tension characteristics applied by the device allow the orthosis to "give" or "flex". The modulus of flex reduces the tension applied by the orthosis as the brace flexes to reduce inappropriate muscle contraction.

Patients report a reduction in the intensity and duration of episodes of tone over time with use of the NeuroFlex Eclipse ROM Knee.
