Surfers and Kite Surfers have unique demands and anatomy. CTi features specific design advantages and/or adjustments that can be made to optimise performance for surfing, including:
- A basic frame design that functions well for surfing and kite surfing. The CTi is the only ligament knee brace that captures the tibia, locking down securely on the tibial crest. The rigid upper and lower arms combine with the hinges, condyle pads and straps to properly align the knee joint and provide an accurately-tracking exoskeletal support.
- CTi can be ordered with an Anti-Migration System (AMS) at an additional cost. This comfortable neoprene padding configuration virtually eliminates brace slippage, eliminating the annoying hassle of having to constantly adjust your brace in the water.
- Streamlined frame shape and hinge design (especially on the medial side) contour closely with the leg. This keeps the brace very low-profile and limits the drag in the water when paddling and snapping up on waves.
- CTi can be used with wetsuits. Simply remove standard padding from brace (attached via hook and loop) and apply the brace over the top of the wetsuit. The wetsuit replaces the padding.
- Non-corrosive materials make the CTi ideal for surfing. Simply rinse out with fresh water after use in the ocean.
- CTi can be manufactured to be shorter, longer, thicker or thinner based upon your height and weight.
