The functional Armor Fource Point Dynamically Retained Orthosis provides a reliable protective shield to the knee joint, which gives the user confidence and confidence in every movement.
The Armor Fource Point is especially recommended for contact and extreme sports athletes who require a truly reliable knee brace that will provide the best protection against injury and allow them to give their best and achieve the desired result, forgetting about the possibility of damaging the joint. The Armor brace fully meets the requirements of such athletes. The heavy-duty aluminum frame is made from 6061 T6 Aluminum, which is used in the aircraft industry.
The Armor uses the patented Fource Point hinge. Its feature is that the design of the mechanism uses a spring mechanism, which allows you to provide the necessary resistance during a sharp extension of the knee. The mechanism acts as a retarder in the last 25° of extension. The hinge has three even supports with the ability to turn off the support, if necessary. As standard, the hinge already has an extension resistance of 10°, which can be increased up to 25°.
FourcePoint Features:
- Universal joint that use only with ACL
- Not suitable for use with PCL instability
- Decreases the time the joint stays in the trauma-free position
- Possibility of adjusting the flexion angle with wedges - 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°.
The Armor FP ACL STD provides healthcare professionals with the best out of the box protection solution for athletes who dare to challenge their own limits.

Four points of support in Armor Fource Point
Pivot #1
Rigid reinforced lower cuff, pointing backwards, provides distal support in the fixation system.
Pivot #2
A rigid, reinforced upper cuff sits forward at the top of the thigh, providing a proximal point of support in the fixation system.
Pivot #3
Textile belt on the back of the lower thigh, pushes the femur forward.
Fulcrum No. 4
Straps placed on the front of the calf provide active, constant rearward pressure to prevent the calf from moving forward.
Effect :
- Reduction of ACL deformation by 50% - clinically proven.
Minimize risk - Armor's clinically proven manufacturing technology and design reduces pressure and stress on the knee joint while protecting it from rotational injury.
- Increased comfort in patients with developed quadriceps femoris with a convex femoral arch.
- Stabilizes the knee joint and prevents pathological movements.
- Prevents displacement of the large bone of the lower leg forward.
- Removes the load from ACL and CI.
- Provides an adjustable support gradient during sharp extension in the knee joint.
Purpose:
- Hyperextension.
- Moderately - severe ACL instabilities.
- Preventive / bilateral use.
- MCL / LCL instability / ACL reconstruction.
- Contact, active, extreme sports with extreme loads on the knee joint (skiing, hockey, motorcycling, weightlifting).
- Highly active lifestyle.
