The Armor ACTION PCL functional reinforced orthosis with dynamic fixation provides a reliable protective shield to the knee joint, which gives the user confidence and confidence in every movement.
Armor ACTION PCL is especially recommended for contact and extreme sports athletes, who require a really reliable knee brace that will provide the best protection against injury and will 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 orthosis uses a STANDARD POLYAXIAL polycentric hinge with the ability to adjust the flexion/extension angle using special wedges.
Flexion angle adjustment: 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°
Extension angle adjustment: 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°,40° (10° insert fitted as standard
The polycentric hinge stabilizes the movement of the knee joint, reduces the load on the ligaments of the pelvis, without compromising the anatomical movements of the joint. STANDARD POLYAXIAL maximizes anterior/posterior and varus/valgus orthosis stabilization.
STANDARD POLYAXIAL Features:
- Universal joint that can be used in ACL / PCL / CI.
- Ideal for combined injuries.
- It's time to restore the functionality of the knee joint.
Armor ACTION PCL provides healthcare professionals with the best out of the box protection solution for athletes who dare to challenge their own limits.
Peculiarities:
- Reinforced aluminum frame
- Patented STANDARD POLYAXIAL hinge design with adjustable flexion/extension angle
- 4-point dynamic fixation system
- Four strong textile straps
- Loops for fixing belts are located on the outside of the frame
- Anti-migration inserts to prevent the orthosis from slipping
- Low profile design

Four points of support in Armor ACTION CI
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 :
- Reduced PCL strain - 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.
- Replacement of impaired function of the knee joint.
- 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 the muscular apparatus of the knee joint.
- Control of medial-lateral and rotational instability.
Purpose:
- Moderately - severe PCL-instabilities.
- Preventive / bilateral use.
- Violation of the functions of the lateral connectionsjr (instability, breaks and stretching of the MCL / LCL)
- Contact, active, extreme sports with extreme loads on the knee joint (skiing, hockey, motorcycling, weightlifting).
- Highly active lifestyle.
Country of manufacture: USA.
