How Long Do Unloader Knee Braces Last?

Knee Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition and unloader knee braces need to be able to provide long term support. The big manufacturers all have a warranty on their flagship products:

The Donjoy OAdjuster comes with a one year warranty on the frame and hinges and six months on the softgoods.

The Ossur Unloader comes with a two year frame and hinge warranty and six months on the softgoods.

The Bledsoe Thruster has 3 years on the hinge, one on the frame, and 90 days on the softgoods.

All of these braces have been around for a number of years and have shown themselves to be up to the job long term.
