Innovative X-STATIC Materials from PEL Supply

PEL Supply announces immediate availability of Acor's new X-STATIC®--"the silver fiber^TM"--lined materials. According to Acor, Impression Puff^TM, moldable with 'bounce back' memory, is a superior alternative to current orthotic liners. Neo-Sponge^TM, featuring excellent shock absorption and cushioning, replaces current neoprene-type materials that line foot orthotics while reducing friction. Both materials are available with an X-STATIC top cover.

X-STATIC fiber has a natural layer of pure silver permanently bonded to it which naturally eliminates the growth of odor-causing bacteria killing 99.9% of bacteria and fungi within two hours! X-STATIC evenly distributes heat throughout the silver fibers, while at the same time decreasing friction, hot spots and blisters. X-STATIC is a registered trademark of Noble Fiber Technologies, Inc. Patents Pending.

Ossur GII Expands with Paradigm

The new Paradigm ligament brace follows last year's introduction of the GII 3DX, Ossur´s entry into Functional Bracing. The 3DX turned heads with its innovative hinge, enbling the brace to follow the natural anatomic tracking of the knee. Surgeons embraced the 3DX because it is able to track internal/external rotation, varus/valgus rotation and anterior/posterior translation simultaneously.

However, an equal number of physicians and clinicians continue to support the traditional sagittal design. For this group, Ossur GII designed the new Paradigm. Its proven sagittal design is solid, with the added benefit of a Triax® carbon-fiber frame for greater strength and a uniquely designed frame, whose medial flair provides a graceful look and exceptional stability of soft tissues.

The designers at Ossur GII have also improved condylar ergonomics to enhance comfort while providing a low-profile fit.

The unique EZ hinge features bright, easy-to-read stop indicators that provide practitioners quick confidence in appropriate range of motion control. Moldable aluminum struts allow for custom contouring, and the strut length accommodates sizing and rehab progression.
