CTi Custom Ligament Knee Brace



Indications & Use

  • ACL, MCL, LCL, PCL, rotary and combined instabilities

  • For High-End Use

    For high levels of impact, we recommend the CTi Pro Sport model. Additional carbon fiber and a thicker core structure is used in the frame to provide maximum support and protection against extreme contact.

  • For Moderate to High-End Use

    For moderate to high impact levels of impact, we recommend the CTi Standard model. Carbon composite, rigid frame construction using a thin core structure provides excellent support and protection against moderate to high levels of impact in a lighter design than the CTi Pro Sport.

  • For Low-End Use

    For low levels of impact, we recommend the CTi Vapor model, the lightest CTi model yet. Reduced carbon fiber using a thin core structure provides excellent support and protection against any low to moderate levels of impact.
