The Ossur Unloader One X for unicompartmental 
knee OA

The Össur Unloader One X knee brace is our favoured brace for patients with medial or lateral compartment knee Osteoarthritis. The Unloader One X works by unloading the affected side (compartment) of the knee utilising the patented Össur 3-Point Leverage System. This system is clinically proven to improve mobility by providing pain relief from unicompartmental knee OA or degenerative meniscal tears.

Although Ossur have scientific evidence to prove how this works, we have seen how this brace has benefitted our clients by reducing their pain and being comfortable to wear. This is why the Unloader One X is our first choice for individuals with knee OA.

This brace is completely covered if you have AXA health insurance, contact Ossur to arrange your fitting with us.

Alan's Story

Alan Henshall_edited.jpg
"I went to see Tom Wood's 12 months ago following confirmation from a consultant at Oswestry Hospital that I had torn the cartilage in both of my knees...
I went to see Tom for a professional fitting of my... brace[s] and I was very impressed. He is very experienced and took the time to listen to where I had pain and how it was preventing me from my passion for running. The fitting wasn't rushed and the whole appointment felt like it would take as long as it takes to ensure the fit was just right for me... Within 3 months of steadily building up my short distances I felt able to return to the running community. In December last year I entered a 5k race and whilst my time was slow, I felt elated to be able to enjoy the atmosphere and finish the race. This seemed so unlikely only a few months earlier and without Tom and my new braces I could now have been sitting on the riverbank fishing! It is now 7 months since that first race back in December and I have run at least 9 races this year. My last two races have both been under 50 minutes for a 10k which I am really pleased with.

 

I would recommend Tom without any hesitation. He has a lovely relaxed manner about him and is passionate about his job. The Ossur braces certainly worked for me and long may it continue"
