Product features

Lateral hinges:

The two Polycentric lateral hinges of this Donjoy knee brace provide more solid support than a regular knee sleeve.

Two Velcro straps:

Materials

This Donjoy knee brace is made from breathable materials called Drytex. See below difference between these materials and the Neoprene:

Drytex vs Neoprene

1. Neoprene: this fabric is used very often in hinged knee braces or sleeves for sport. It delivers compressive and warmth capabilities more than the Drytex materials.
2. Drytex: this fabric is a preferred choice for patients who suffer from irritations or allergies due to nylon core and polyester Lycra fabric. A Drytex knee sleeve allows the patient to enjoy improved airflow while delivering the required compression and support. Do you live in warm weather climates? You'll prefer the comfort this will bring to your knee rehabilitation.

A knee sleeve design:

This hinged knee brace by Donjoy is designed to fit as a knee sleeve and not as a wraparound brace.

Sleeve vs wrap around knee braces

Both hinged knee braces with wraparound or sleeve designs for moderate knee support are useful to relieve grade 1 or 2 knee sprains, ligament tear or instability, Meniscus tear or OA. However you need to take note of the following differences between these two types of braces:

Knee sleeve:

This hinged knee brace style is often used in the later stages of rehabilitation. This is also used for prevention in various activities that put tremendous stress to the knee due to the repetitive movements. This includes: Basketball, running, Soccer, Football, etc.

It assist the joints so it can move freely and more natural without inflicting additional pain. It is also recommended by physicians during daily activities because it does not restrict normal motion, rather it supports it.

Wrap around hinged knee brace

This is the preferred choice of elderly people because it can easily be applied. However, anyone who also have trouble applying a sleeve style knee brace are most free to use it. The straps of this type of knee brace allows it to be quickly closed, secured and adjusted.

It is also more convenient to use, especially if you don't wish to remove your footwear while wearing it.
