Orthofix said that the system allows cool air in and moves warm air and moisture away from the skin, improving patient comfort and the new pad technology reduces pinching and help alleviate pressure points.
In addition to AirTech system, the Fusion XT brace also includes pivot-point strap tabs that are longer, flexible and more durable which enable patients to independently position the straps in order to provide a superior fit.
Orthofix president and CEO Alan Milinazzo said that the enhanced Fusion XT brace provides significant advancements in performance and durability for high impact sports like football and the AirTech system represents continued focus on making the Fusionline of braces the standard in patient comfort, fit and compliance, and also demonstrates Orthofix’s ongoing commitment to product innovation.
Orthofix plans to also incorporate the AirTech system into its Fusion and Fusion Women’s braces.
