Sport Functional Knee Brace

Comparison | Ordering Info | Accessories

The Axiom Sport (formerly the Bledsoe Cage) is a sport functional knee brace designed for instabilities of combined ACL and PCL injured knees. Additional knee injuries to the medial collateral ligament along with the crutiate ligaments can be supported. The Axiom Sport HI features a reinforced shell for greater impact resistance.

Features include:

  • Pivoting anti-migration design uses pivoting posterior calf straps that "lock" onto calf muscles to prevent brace from slipping.
  • Lighter, thinner, closed-cell foam pad material provides lower profile and lighter weight and won’t absorb sweat or water like other foam padding.
  • Super alloy aluminum shell weighs less than other materials and won’t crack or break like plastic frames.
  • Adjustable condyle pads.
  • Available with optional patellar guard.

Indications
This device is indicated for increased support of knees following injury to or reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, medial or lateral collateral ligament, or menisci either alone or in combinations. Also indicated for increased support for patients who have continued symptoms of giving way, poor quadriceps or hamstring strength, or a desire for an early return to sports activities.

Contraindications
This device is contraindicated in patients with triple varus knees that have damage to the postero-lateral structures
combined with stretched lateral structures and varus thrust.




Bledsoe Axiom Sport vs. other brands Back to top

Features Bledsoe Axiom Sport Knee Brace Other Brands
Comfort Lightweight shell with closed cell foam pads that will not absorb sweat. Open cell pads absorb sweat and add weight.
Durability Lightweight super alloy shell won't crack or break. Plastic frames split, crack and break from stress or impact.
Anti-migration Pivoting anti-migration strap design keeps brace in place during activity. Fixed straps allow brace to migrate during activity.
Customization Flexible shell allows changes as leg mass increases. Rigid plastic frames can't bend. Any changes to size/shape of leg requires a new frame.
Support Anterior tibial shell stabilizes knee and improves rotational control. Braces without anterior tibial shell are harder to fit and provide less support.
