Therapeutic areas and key products

Thuasne's catalog covers multiple therapeutic areas. In orthopedics, it markets products such as the UniReliever® knee brace, which offers versatile relief for those suffering from knee osteoarthritis through a dynamic offloading mechanism that redistributes pressure; the Biflex Self Adjust adjustable compression system, indicated for the management of oedema (venous, lymphatic and caused by injury), chronic venous insufficiency (including venous leg ulcer) and symptomatic treatment of lipoedema; the Malleo Dynastab® BOA® Open stabilizing ankle brace, designed for moderate to severe ankle sprains and chronic instability; and the SpryStep One® ankle-foot orthosis, made with composite materials and a posterior spiral strut that amplifies energy return.

In the field of lymphology, Mobiderm® technology is used to mobilise subcutaneous tissues and manage oedema and lymphoedema. Mobiderm® creates a pressure differential that generates multi-directional circulation channels for lymph, and is available in pads and bandages, as well as specific garments such as Mobiderm Intimate Bra & Shorts, Mobiderm Autofit, Mobiderm Standard Garments and Mobiderm Made to Measure.
