Which Size Of Ossur CTi3 Brace Is Right for Me?
The Ossur Knee Brace is available in four sizes for both the left and the right knee. For measurement, we recommend calipers, a marker and a soft measuring tape. Please measure the width of your knee and circumference of your thigh as follows:
Knee Width
Use a marker to make a horizontal line across the middle of your knee cap. Take the calipers and measure the width of your knee at this line, making sure the calipers touch the widest part of your leg, not just the knee cap. The soft measuring tape can also be used here, but care must be taken to get an accurate measurement without bending the tape. Take the measurement with your knee in a weight-bearing position, with a slight bend in your knee.
Thigh Circumference
Use a soft measuring tape to measure around the thigh, 8" above the mark you made earlier in the middle of your knee cap. Do this as above, in a weight-bearing position, with a slight bend in your knee. Match your measurements to the table below:
| Size | Knee Width | Thigh Circumference |
|---|
| Small | 8 - 10cm | 40 - 47cm |
| Medium | 10 - 11cm | 45 - 55cm |
| Large | 11 - 13cm | 52 - 61cm |
| Extra Large | 13 - 14cm | 58 - 67cm |

- MCL
- LCL
- PCL
- Rotary
- Combined instabilities
How Does the Ossur CTI3 Protect Ligaments?
To ensure protection for the conditions and ligament instabilities mentioned above, this brace provides stability in two directions. This means it provides both anterior-posterior (front-to-back) stability as well as medial-lateral (side-to-side) stability. This multi-directional support will help to provide peace of mind during the more intense motions that occur during sports and exercise.
Adjustable Design for Support and Comfort
The CTi3 Knee Brace features adjustable straps for a fantastic fit while ensuring you receive a robust level of protection and support to help your injury heal. Despite its comfortable fit on the skin, the Ossur Knee Brace provides a rigid frame and ensures stability to prevent the excessive movements that can contribute to further ligament injury.
Natural Motion with AccuTrac Hinge
To provide a natural range of motion, the CTi3 Knee Brace features the unique AccuTrac hinge. Created after an in-depth analysis of the leg's natural motion, the hinge features a patented four-bar linkage system that accurately recreates the knee's natural movement – exactly as it would be brace-free – to give you the flexibility you need to perform at your best.
Breathable Padding for Improved Comfort
Featuring a comfortable liner, the Ossur CTi3 is made with padding that is wonderfully breathable for maximum comfort. In addition, this almost completely eliminates migration or slipping of the knee brace, ensuring that it stays comfortably in place.
Secure Ligament Support
Through its comprehensive support system, the CTi3 Knee Brace provides total support for your knee ligaments. For ACL support, firm contact between the brace and the shin stops forward movement and rotation of the knee, while the non-elastic strap on the thigh gives the CTi a counter-force to provide better stability. The brace's rigidity across the hinges gives support to the MCL and LCL ligaments either side of the knee to control medial and lateral stability.

Please be aware that the precise weight of the brace will differ based on the size and that this 500g measurement is excluding any additional components.
