Q Lok ROM

The Bio Skin Q Lok ROM knee brace is designed to apply a dynamic traction force on the patella.  Weight bearing studies have shown that this system can be effective in controlling the position of the patella. The Q Lok ROM helps to decrease pain by increasing the contact area between the patella and the knee joint. It comes with a strapping system that will help to reduce patellar tilt, glide and subluxation. The strapping system helps to push the patella back into its correct position in the knee’s trochlear notch.

In addition, the Q Lok ROM comes with an ultra thin hinge that gives the option of limiting flexion and extension of the knee. This is a useful feature for rehabilitation as it allows gradual adjustment of the knee’s range of motion as healing progresses.

Stratus

The Q Lok ROM uses Bio Skin’s uniquely designed Stratus material for additional breathability and a more comfortable fit. Stratus has a tri-laminate design and uses Lycra on its external and internal surfaces for additional compressive power. It also uses an elastic porous membrane between those surfaces to facilitate moisture transfer through the support. In addition to its tri-laminate comfort oriented design, Stratus is  completely hypo allergenic  and free of both latex and neoprene.

Other comfort oriented features of this knee support include its use of BioSkin’s ActiveSeam™  feature to prevent chafing of the skin under the brace. It also employs pre tensioned fabric to avoid bunching over the sensitive area behind the knee.

The comfort oriented design of the Q Lok is further augmented by the inclusion of Bio Skin’s SkinLok™. SkinLok increases adherence to your skin as a reaction to moisture sources like water, lotion or even sweat, which reduces migration of the brace. This increases the effectiveness of the brace in pain reduction and acceleration of the healing process.

In addition to the above comfort features, the Q Lok ROM uses a closed patella design for maximum surface contact area between the patella and the trochlear notch. It is a universal left/right design.
