FiT Hinge for brace hip

The new FiT hinge for brace hip is characterized by advanced engineering focused on structural robustness and mechanical reliability, incorporating a central adjustable design that enables precise angular adjustments in multiple planes, including abduction-adduction and flexion-extension. This adjustment system has been developed with high-tolerance mechanical components, ensuring a secure and stable fixation even under prolonged use or high functional load conditions. The main structural elements are made of high-strength aluminum and stainless steel, selected for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio. The use of high-quality alloys not only reduces the overall system weight, enhancing user comfort, but also contributes to structural integrity in dynamic situations. The articulation points have been designed to minimize mechanical play and maximize positioning…
