Össur CTi
Total Ligament SupportCTi has been making headlines in action sports since its introduction in 1983. The first CTi prototypes helped motocross athletes regain their freedom to ride after knee ligament injuries. Today CTi knee braces are the knee protection of choice for professionals worldwide who need reliable, clinically proven knee ligament support and impact protection they can trust.
CTi braces provide the ultimate combination of stabilization and protection of the knee joint. This truly custom knee brace uses Accutrac® hinges to glide with the knee and breathable liners coated with Össur® Sensil® Silicone to reduce migration and skin irritation. CTi custom braces are available in 3 models — Vapor, Standard and Pro Sport — and can be further customized with a variety of options, colors, designs and accessories.

User GuideHow to Put On the Össur CTi Knee Brace
- Unfasten all straps from the outer edge of the brace (i.e. for left knee, the left side).
- With your knee bent approximately 90 degrees, place the brace over your knee so your knee cap is centered between the brace hinges.
- Start with the strap just below the knee (upper calf strap), fasten it snugly above the calf muscle.
- Next, fasten the bottom strap (lower calf strap).
- Then the strap just above the knee (lower thigh strap).
- Lastly, the top strap (upper thigh strap).
Tips for Success
Avoid Slippage
Wear your brace against your skin when possible. When worn over clothing, the brace can be pulled down when you bend your knee. The brace can also migrate down if the thigh straps (#2 & #3) are too tight. When you move, the brace can end up pistoning down your leg.
Ease Into Wearing It
Red and irritated skin can be signs of wearing your brace too much, too soon. Typically it takes about 1-2 weeks for your knee to get used to the brace.
Cleaning Tips
After regular use your brace (particularly the soft pads and straps) get dirty from sweat and oils on our skin.
