Aspen OA Knee+ Osteoarthritis Knee Brace

$840.00

The Aspen® OA Knee+ is an unloader brace for osteoarthritis in one side of the knee. Rather than simply holding the joint, it pushes the leg gently sideways so that weight shifts off the worn compartment and onto the healthy one.

How much it pushes is adjustable, with a key that turns an adjustment screw an eighth to a quarter of a turn at a time so the fitter can find the setting that helps without becoming uncomfortable. The hinge also accepts stops that cap how far the knee may straighten or bend.

It is a universal fit up to a 30-inch thigh, built low profile so it can be worn under trousers, and side-specific — choose the one matching the affected knee. Replacement straps, liners, buckles and the adjustment key are listed separately.

Is this the right one for you?

Choose this if the diagnosis is arthritis in the knee. Unloader braces shift weight off the worn side of the joint; warming compression supports ease the ache and stiffness.

Everyday ache or swelling? Bauerfeind GenuTrain Comfort Knee Brace with 5cm Top Band is a lighter compression support.

Torn ligament, or repaired one? Aspen Ci Ligament Knee Brace is a rigid frame brace built to protect the ligament.

Osteoarthritis of the medial or lateral compartment of the knee (the inner or outer side of the joint)

This is a medical-grade orthopaedic brace that incorporates rigid structural support. Braces and orthoses built with rigid components are usually covered under Canadian extended health benefit plans (e.g. Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada) when accompanied by a valid prescription from your physician or nurse practitioner. It may also qualify as an eligible medical expense under the CRA's Medical Expense Tax Credit. We're happy to prepare an itemized estimate for your insurer — use Get an Insurance Estimate for this item, or add several to your cart and request one for everything at once. No charge, and it's not an order. Coverage details, annual limits, and prescription requirements vary by plan, so please confirm your specific benefits with your provider and keep your prescription and itemized receipt for your claim.

Aspen prints these steps; the amount of unloading should be set by the clinician who prescribed the brace.

Open every fastener first by pressing the button on the side of each one.
Sitting down, bend the knee to about 30 degrees.
Hold the brace against the side of the leg so the centre of the hinge lines up with the centre of the kneecap.
Close the strap directly below the knee (labelled 1) first, tightening it so it is comfortable and stops the brace sliding, then work through 2, 3 and 4 in order, adjusting each as you go.
Set the unloading with the adjustment tool: clockwise decreases it, counterclockwise increases it. Turn an eighth to a quarter of a turn at a time while sitting, and check how it feels before going further.
To take the brace off, press and release the fasteners; to put it back on, click them into place.
Straps that are too long can be cut to length: open the strap pad and the end of the binding strap, separate the hook and loop, trim, and re-attach the pad.
