GUARDIAN HIP SYSTEM - FEATURES
Universal Pelvic Band with rotational adjustability for hip development. The liner is removable and breathable. The Orthosis has 1/4 x 20 locking screws with a Bi-value and universal thigh cuff which can be positioned for lateral extension. The posterior tongue is slotted for ease of adjustment. The Hip Tracker joint has tri-centric gears that allow the orthotic to mimic the collapsing nature of the body. As the Hip flexes, the joint creates downward forces that lock the pelvic band to the pelvis preventing migration. It has full ROM with Abduction/Adduction adjustment. The system has a low profile that is malleable and is equipped with a Universal Hip Joint. Guardian Hip System can be configured for either one or two thigh cuffs’.
