Why VQ OrthoCare?
VQ OrthoCare Does it Best
The lineage of the VQ OrthoCare knee brace product line dates back to the 1980’s when the groundbreaking flexible thigh cuff (Active Thigh Cuff™) – ligament brace was introduced. Innovation has always been the focus right through to present day with the often imitated single upright OActive and OActive® 2 universal OA brace designs. And there’s more to come.
