SHIELDS
HINGED KNEE STABILIZER® by Hely & Weber

Treatment of patellofemoral tracking and
collateral ligament problems just entered a new era.
The Shields Hinged Stabilizer effectively controls the
malalignments of patella glide, ML tilt, and AP tilt through the use of
dynamic, directional force.
It has all the attributes of the Shields Patella
Stabilizer - plus one important addition: Bi-axial hinges for extra
medial lateral support. An Adjustable buttress and flap system is
optimal for buttress-patella contact during movement.
The wrap around design permits easier application, better
fit, less migration, and decreased sizing needs. |

- Common Malalignments of Patella Glide, Patella Tilt, and AP Tilt
- Lateral or medial subluxation
- LCL/MCL Sprains
