Unloader^® Lite

Similar in function to the Unloader XT, the Lite is intended for smaller legs and less active patients.

The Unloader Lite employs the same features of the Unloader Select, the most studied and clinically-proven brace to significantly reduce OA pain. The Lite incorporates uniquely shaped shells to fit smaller legs and includes a lighter weight hinge.
