FIDLOCK fasteners: Innovative functionality in the GENU-TEX OA® soft orthosis

The GENU-TEX OA® soft orthosis from Sporlastic is a state-of-the-art solution for patients suffering from knee joint conditions such as osteoarthritis or requiring post-operative relief. Thanks to a unique combination of dynamic support and comfort- it offers an effective way of treating unilateral knee problems. A highlight is the WINCH fastener on the orthosis, which enables intuitive handling and optimum wearing comfort.

WINCH - A fastener for more comfort and safety

A key feature that distinguishes the GENU-TEX OA® from other orthoses is the WINCH fastener. The ease of use and reliability are essential for patients with limited mobility because of a knee joint disease. The WINCH offers several advantages that help with this:

Easy handling:

The fastener is a child's play to open and closethanks to the magnetic mechanism. This is particularly important for patients who may have limited fine motor skills or suffer from pain.

Acoustic and tactile feedback:

An audible click provides acoustic feedback when the WINCH is closed. Users can feel the clasp click into place, which provides additional tactile feedback. The fastener has been closed correctly, and the orthosis is securely fastened.

Safety and stability:

The magnetic technology ensures the fastener does not open accidentally, even during active movement. This makes the WINCH not only practical but also reliable - ideal for everyday use.
