Kronos | Icarus Medical

The World’s First Unloaded Recovery Post-Op Brace

An Innovation in Post-Operative Bracing

The Kronos offers the combined benefits of an immobilizer brace and an unloader brace in one. This innovation allows the clinician and patient greater flexibility to protect and restore their knee’s function throughout the post-operative period.

ADJUSTABLE TENSIONING SYSTEM

Unloads over 60 lbs from the joint
Effective stance control through tension-lock
Easily adjust and release tension

POSITION LOCK

Capable of fully locking knee position
Multiple possible locking positions
Easily engage and disengage

LIGHTWEIGHT, HIGH STRENGTH NYLON FRAME

Weighs in at less than 23 ounces
Custom fit and adjustable to patient’s leg

COMFORT AND SUPPORT

Features larger, high-surface pads to increase comfort around incision sites

The Kronos goal:

Possible uses include:

Our patented extension-assisting hinge is engineered to dynamically offload over 60 pounds from the patellofemoral joint.

This significant reduction in force on the knee leads to diminished pain experienced by patients during ambulation.

Initial feedback from clinicians and patients indicates the potential of the KRONOS to restore activity at a faster rate compared to alternative post-operative bracing solutions, owing to the alleviated discomfort. Research suggests that higher levels of activity during the early stages of recovery can effectively mitigate quad atrophy, ultimately contributing to superior long-term post-operative outcomes.

An EMG study conducted at Midwest Orthopedics at Rush with the Unloading Knee Brace indicates reduction in major quadricep activation during squats, which correlates with a reduction in forces within the knee joint during activity. As a result, it is suspected that the extensor mechanism and knee joint are unloaded in order to prevent damage to the surgical site, while also allowing some range of motion during recovery.
