OA is a degenerative disorder in the knee that affects the cartilage. Cartilage is slowly worn away, causing movements to become painful and joints to be distorted as the body attempts to repair itself.
Donjoy OA Reaction Web Knee Brace is an entry-level knee brace for mild unicompartmental (1 compartment) OA and early cartilage degeneration that causes pain and swelling.
Designed to off-set pressure and support the patella, the brace uses medical grade silicon which has been anatomically designed to extend and retract with various leg movements.
The web design helps absorb shock (like a spring) and it also helps pull the hinge (the silicone condyle pad) in toward the knee to help produce offload on the painful side of the knee.

How does the Donjoy Offloading Reaction Web Knee Brace work?
The innovative open web design, which features a network of durable, high-grade silicone that wraps around the knee to provide appropriate shock absorption and support.
The silicon absorbs and releases kinetic energy, allowing the wearer to regain confidence in their movements and stay active.
The brace also uses two silicone condyle pads that support the knee on either side. Non-slip and secure, the condyle pad uses a hexagonal design to create an air pocket which holds closely to the skin.
These pads not only aid in pain relief but also off-load any extra pressure being placed on the affected compartment.
Lightweight, breathable, and discreet, the Donjoy OA Reaction Web Knee Brace comes with a fitted undersleeve to gently compress the skin to increase blood flow and promote recovery.
Combined with contoured back pad, straps, and moisture wicking material, it becomes clear that this knee brace has been designed with maximum comfort in mind.

Medial Left / Lateral Right - choose this option if you experience more pain from medial left knee compartment or lateral right knee compartment.
