The Comfyprene Pediatric Goniometer Knee Orthosis is only recommended for patients with non-fixed contractures (contracted joints that can still be flexed or extended). Knee contractures are classified as follows:
5-30 degrees = mild contracture
30-90 degrees = moderate contracture
90 degrees plus = severe contracture
The Therapeutic uses of the Comfyprene Pediatric Goniometer Knee Orthosis:
Graduated extension of the Knee
Treatment of non-fixed contractures of the Knee
Helps restrict arthritic changes and deformity related to neuromuscular impairment
Positions flaccid knee in functional position
Maintains skin integrity by absorbing moisture, allowing air circulation and preventing skin maceration
Advantages of the Comfyprene Pediatric Goniometer Knee Orthosis:
The splint is adjustable and re-adjustable to individual patients without the use of heat or tools
The splint can be graduated up to increase knee extension
The splint is lightweight and durable
The splint straps are foam lined for comfort and to prevent pressure areas
The splint straps close with velcro - but no velcro touches the patient's skin
The splint is soft with rounded padded edges to minimize self-injury

Instead of removable terrycloth covers, the Comfyprene™ splint inserts are covered with soft neoprene and headliner material, which creates a slim profile for everyday comfort. Splints are adjustable and re-adjustable using the Comfy™ patented reinforced spine. Straps may be positioned anywhere on the splint for optimal fit. Excellent for use after sports injuries, removal of casts, sports medicine or for arthritic patient's support of the weakened extremity.
All Comfyprene™ Splints come standard with five attachable and removable hygiene liners. Unlike the traditional Comfy Splint, there are no removable covers on Comfyprene™ Splints.
