Bledsoe Merit OR vs. other brands Back to top
| Features | Bledsoe OR Knee Brace | Other Brands |
| Skin Comfort | Open-cell, breathable foam laminate increases comfort and reduces possibility of skin problems. | Flame bonded technique closes foam pores and increases possibility of skin problems. |
| Hinge | Hinge adjusts every 10°, can be adjusted without tools, and can be locked for patient security. | Hinge does not lock without play, no protection from flexion contractures. |
| Hinge Suspension | Brace has calf suspension strap so brace suspends on the gastrocnemius muscle. | Either no suspension on most braces, or sharp aluminum ends that create discomfort. If hinge slides down, the brace pushes tibia forward during flexion placing dangerous stress on ACL repairs. |
| Formable Uprights | Formable uprights allow proper anatomical fit to maximize comfort and safety. | Molded plastic pieces or uprights with tabs prevent forming. This causes reduced comfort and control. |
| Security & Control | Straps engage and lock to brace uprights — stopping the leg within the proper range for safety. | Straps pass over the uprights or through slots — even though the hinge stops, the leg keeps moving. |
