The hip abduction orthosis pictured is a medical device designed to stabilize the hip joint and maintain proper alignment, particularly after surgery or injury.
Its main features include:
Support and stabilization: It is used to hold the femoral head in the acetabulum and limit the leg’s range of motion, thus promoting healing and reducing pain.
Materials: Typically made from materials such as stainless steel for durability and structural support, and breathable fabrics to prevent moisture buildup and improve comfort.
Comfort: Features padding and cushioning for increased comfort during extended wear.
Adjustability: Often equipped with adjustable straps and closures (such as Velcro) for a custom, secure fit, adapting to different sizes and body shapes.
Pediatric Functionality: Pediatric versions, such as the Rhino Cruiser Pediatric Hip Abduction Brace, are specifically designed to keep children’s legs and hips apart to ensure stability and proper hip development.
Post-operative Use: It is crucial for post-operative recovery, particularly after hip revision surgery, by providing protection and proper positioning.
