OPED, founded 1993 near Munich, is a market leader in the field of orthoses.
OPED develops, manufactures and sells trend-setting product concepts in the field of our core competence – modern Orthosis.
Replacing the uncomfortable plaster cast with a light, functional vacuum splint was the vision of the OPED founders. Their vision became reality in 1993, when the VACOped – still the most successful OPED product, even today – came onto the market. However, the OPED spirit of invention was in no way satisfied with just the VACOped, which is the state-of-the-art treatment nowadays. The product range has been expanded to encompass an entire family of vacuum orthoses. Whether it is torn ligaments, Achilles tendon rupture or a fractured wrist: OPED products offer optimum care with the highest degree of mobility and hygiene.
VACO12 technology is the core technology of the VACO Products. A cushion filled with thousands of styrofoam pearls is surrounding the injured body parts. By the perfectly round shape of the pearls they can absorb 12 times the pressure each. When air is extracted from the cushion by using a pump, the body shaped cushion becomes hard (as a cast does), just in a few seconds. By opening the valve and letting air flowing inside the cushion, it becomes soft again and can be re-adjusted to the body part. Hence the Vacuum Technology avoids pressure to the body site and provides stability due to a perfectly shaped orthosis at any time.

 ADVAGOknee

Frame orthesis to guide and stabilize the knee joint

  • Balancing of incorrect movements - The sliding joint balances incorrect movements in the knee joint and gives the quadriceps the necessary scope for movement. Only through this can an optimum fit be ensured without the orthesis slipping.
  • Can be used right and left - Thanks to its flexible design and tool free repositioning of the elements.
  • Time–saving only two adjuster clips to be fastened around leg. Perfect adjustment to the swelling conditions-The orthesis can be adjusted without tools to individual swelling conditions at any time through simple rotation of the orange lever.
  • Early burdening in full extension - A blocking function allows early burdening in the extended state only. Through two clicks, ADVAGOknee is blocked in full extension
  • Pressure-free design - ADVAGOknee is designed so that scars after cruciate ligament and patella operations are left open. The used pads do not have any seams and therefore do not rub against the skin. The wave-shaped cut of the pads contributes to the optimum fit
  • Lightness and stability - Due to the lightweight but stable BASF high-performance plastic frame. BASF plastic is widely used in the automotive industry
  • Possible to brand - Thanks to two slots on the adjustable straps
