DonJoy Playmaker II Knee Support Brace User Manual

Produktua amaituview

The DonJoy Playmaker II knee brace is engineered to provide stability and comfort for individuals experiencing knee hyperextension, or mild to moderate instabilities of the ACL, MCL, and LCL.

This brace incorporates Hi10, a high tenacity nylon/spandex fabric, designed for enhanced comfort and a precise fit. The advanced spacer fabric used on both the front and back of the brace promotes airflow, contributing to a cooler environment during various activity levels. DonJoy's DIII hinge system allows for customized Range of Motion (ROM) management. Molded strap tabs facilitate quick and easy adjustments, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. Note that molded strap tabs are not present on neoprene models.

The Playmaker II is available in both wrap-around and sleeve styles. The wrap-around design, featuring an open patella, is generally easier to apply. The sleeve style offers a tighter fit. The spacer material provides superior breathability and cooling compared to neoprene alternatives.
