WILMINGTON, DE — Enovis Corporation (NYSE: ENOV), a global leader in medical technology, has announced the launch of a groundbreaking product from its DJO, LLC subsidiary. The DonJoy ROAM OA knee brace, specifically designed for patients suffering from osteoarthritis or other knee pain and instability, promises to transform the way such conditions are managed.
The ROAM OA knee brace represents the latest advancement in unloader technology, which aims to alleviate the pressure associated with unicompartmental osteoarthritis. By shifting weight away from the affected knee, it dynamically relieves pain, enhances stability, and improves mobility. This makes it an ideal solution for patients seeking to maintain or increase activity levels, whether they are conservatively managing their condition, preparing for surgery, or in need of postoperative knee protection.
“Braces like the ROAM OA can provide the support and relief patients need to get back to the activities they love, without having surgery,” said orthopedic surgeon and pro sports team physician Brian J. Cole, MD.
The patient-friendly features of the ROAM OA make it both effective and easy to use. These include “Mag-align” magnetic clips, which help align the strap connection points, and “Set-and-Forget” technology, which allows patients to easily put the brace on and off without changing any provider settings. The brace also incorporates the BOA Fit System, enabling patients to adjust support and pain relief on demand.
In addition, the brace’s slim profile hinge design means it can be worn beneath clothing, and its dynamic strapping and unique condyle harness avoid sensitive skin in the back of the knee. Anti-migration technology ensures the brace stays comfortably in place, while 2X Cool Technology fibers keep the surface of the brace cooler than the surrounding environment.
What’s more, the ROAM OA knee brace’s unique design means it can fit either the left lateral and right medial, or vice versa, in only six SKUs. This is a significant improvement on traditional braces, which may require as many as 56 SKUs for the same range of patient fit. A custom-fabricated brace option is also available for challenging fit needs.
“ROAM OA represents the next generation of unloader knee braces for active patients with pain due to osteoarthritis or other causes,” said Terry Ross, Group President of Enovis Prevention & Recovery. “It’s effective and easy for patients to use and easy for providers to prescribe, even for patients who would otherwise need a customized device.”
The DonJoy ROAM OA knee brace is set to become an essential tool in the management of osteoarthritis and related conditions, offering patients a new lease on life and industry professionals a simpler, more effective treatment option.
