Full Description

The California Hip system is a comfortable, total-contact reinforced mesh pelvic component based on the popular California Compression Orthosis supports the back and aligns pelvis and hip joint.

The California Hip System has universal pelvic, thigh and hip joint components to reduce inventory and make stocking all sizes more cost efficient. Hip joint settings provide a strong flexion/ extension stop with mild, adjustable resistance to adduction.

Comfortable mesh thigh component. Patient-adjustable compression to increase comfort during activities of daily living. Abduction wedge regulates the clearance of the hip joint over the trochanter and incision site. Lightweight, low profile components are easier to wear under clothing which can increase patient compliance and wearing time.

Indications for use:

• Elderly patient’s confined to bed who are at risk for dislocation
• Patient’s who have been non-compliant with rigid plastic hip orthoses
• Patient’s whose cognitive function impairs their ability to follow hip precautions
• Patient’s with weak hip abductors who need a kinaesthetic cue and positioning to prevent dislocation
• Post-op revision patients who have undergone a surgical procedure and need an orthosis until the component is integrated and soft tissue heals
• Adult patients with CVA, spinal cord injuries or head trauma can benefit from the California Hip with bilateral thigh cuffs to widen the base of support in standing and sitting
