Donjoy Playmaker XPert Hinged Knee Brace (Sleeve) - Patella Stabilizing Meniscus Tear

Donjoy Playmaker XPert Hinged Knee Brace offers a combination of features, i.e. pain relief, stabilisation & proprioception.

The compression effect of the brace helps to reduce swelling and alleviate pain, and the bilateral hinges support the unstable knee joint, helping the patient regain confidence and mobility. The bracing can help improve neuro-motor-sensory response and coordination, helping decrease the risk of re-injury

When even mild ligament strains & pain can affect daily or leisure activities, the new Playmaker Xpert braces will provide the stability and the comfort required to regain secure movement.

Donjoy Playmaker XPert Hinged Knee Brace available in two versions: Sleeve & Wraparound.

The wraparound version knee brace facilitates applying and removing the brace, ideal for patients with dexterity issues.

Sleeve vs. Wraparound

Sleeve braces require you to remove your shoe and slide the brace over your foot. Fits more snugly and stays in place. Once it's on it requires little adjustment. The negative of a sleeve is it doesn't work well over pants.

Wraparound braces are easier to apply especially for those with less hand strength and can be worn over thin pants. The velcro can be tightened or loosened for a more adjustable fit. Great for users who can't bend over as well and have trouble getting a sleeve on or off. The negative of a wraparound brace is the velcro can loosen during activity requiring a quick tightening of the Velcro.
