Sizing Tips
- For measurements that fall on a sizing boundary, we recommend choosing the larger size for better comfort
- The brace is meant to be compressive; if you would prefer less tightness, please choose a larger size
- If you do not have a flexible tape measure, use a piece of string to measure your knee and then measure the string with the ruler
- Before choosing your size, please take into account any joint swelling or atrophy that may have occurred

Wraparound Design
Supplied as a wraparound support, the Hinged Knee Brace Wraparound is incredibly easy to put on and take off. Even when you suffer from painful knees, the support can be placed on the area without exacerbating your discomfort dramatically. This makes it a cut above most slip-on knee braces.
Incredible Twin Strap Stability
Donjoy are committed to providing strong and stable braces that do not ride up, slip down, or chafe against the skin. In order to promote rehabilitation, the twin straps located above and below the knee ensure the Donjoy Sports Brace provides accurate and targeted compression when jogging, running and sprinting.
Innovative DryTex Fabric Construction
Being allergic to neoprene can limit the number of knee supports you can comfortably wear. The Donjoy Sports Hinged Knee Brace Wraparound is constructed from Drytex, offering you an excellent alternative to neoprene braces. This material is lightweight and breathable, making it ideal if you live in warm climates.
