Yet another Breg DUO success story 🌈🌞

EH Medical; Newsletter Apr 2026

Dear Corne,

Winter is coming 🥶 and the pain associated with Knee osteoarthritis (OA) can be even more difficult to manage — especially when patients present with both joint degeneration and instability.

Here’s a recent clinical example where the right brace made a real difference:

🔄 Case Study: Real Patient Impact

Patient: 46-year-old male

Physical Characteristics: Greater BMI
Diagnosis: Medial compartment OA (Grade II–III) + mild ACL laxity

History: Previously fitted with a unilateral OA brace, which proved ineffective due to inadequate support for ligament laxity and insufficient unloading for a heavier wearer.

🔴 Before

Persistent medial knee pain
Limited walking distance
Instability with daily activities

🟢 After (with the Breg Duo)

Reduced pain during ambulation
Improved walking tolerance
Increased joint stability and confidence
High compliance

Why it worked:
The Breg Duo Knee Brace provided combined offloading and ligament support, with flexion & extension stops to control range and protect the joint.

The Duo design minimizes brace migration and rotational movement, ensuring a more secure fit and ultimately enhancing patient compliance.

🦵 When to Consider the Duo

Unicompartmental OA (medial or lateral)
OA with ligament instability
Active patients needing daily support
To delay or prevent knee surgery

The takeaway?

When OA and instability coexist, a dual-function brace can significantly improve outcomes.

If you’d like to discuss suitable patients or arrange a demo, I’d be happy to assist.

Warm regards,
