Stay active and take the load off the painful side of your knee with the Össur OA Ease, a lightweight unloader knee brace for one-sided (unicompartmental) osteoarthritis. It gently shifts weight away from the worn compartment of the joint, helping to reduce pain while keeping you moving - and its slim, low-profile design sits discreetly under clothing.
The OA Ease uses a 3-Point Leverage System, with a Dynamic Force System® strap and shells that unload the affected compartment of the knee. The single-upright design places support exactly where it's needed - on the side of the joint causing your pain.
An easy wraparound design makes the brace straightforward to put on. Rubber pull-tabs, colour-coded guide dots and a hinge alignment guide help you position it correctly every time, and the tool-free polycentric hinge accepts optional range-of-motion stops where your clinician recommends them.
Adjust the Dynamic Force System strap to set the level of relief that suits you, using the marked dosing indicator lines to find and repeat your preferred setting. The lightweight, breathable fabric feels comfortable against the skin, adapts to a range of leg shapes, and is machine washable. Optional extension kits are available if you need a wider fit.

It is an unloader brace for mild-to-moderate one-sided (unicompartmental) osteoarthritis of the knee, and other conditions that benefit from unloading the joint, such as degenerative meniscal tears. It reduces load on the affected side to help ease pain.
The brace is compartment-specific, so choose Left or Right and Medial (inner) or Lateral (outer) to match your affected side - the hinge sits on that side. For size, measure your thigh 15 cm above and your calf 15 cm below the middle of your kneecap and compare both with the size guide. Contact us if you're unsure.
Build up wearing time gradually and wear it during the activities where you need support. Follow the advice of your clinician for your individual situation.
Yes - the OA Ease is designed for daily activity and staying mobile. Gentle strengthening exercise is generally helpful for osteoarthritis; ease off if you feel discomfort and seek advice if pain persists.
The OA Ease is machine washable. Follow the washing guidance in the Össur instructions for use supplied with your brace, and allow it to air dry.
