Donjoy Lateral-J Knee Brace

Your kneecap tends to be fairly susceptible to injury, particularly if you lead an active lifestyle. The Donjoy Lateral-J Knee Brace is designed to stabilise and compress the patella. This helps reduce your discomfort and promote healing by holding your kneecap in a neutral position.

This Donjoy Knee Brace offers several advantages over a typical sleeve as it features a soft J-shaped tube around the kneecap. When the straps of the support are pulled across the knee and attached to the brace, they maintain the position of the J-shaped buttress, which stabilises the knee and encourages proper patella tracking.

Who Can Make Gains with the Lateral-J Knee Support?

The Donjoy Lateral-J Knee Brace has been designed to deal with a variety of patella injuries. The knee is a vital part of a range of sports, from tennis to volleyball, so it's important that you do whatever you can to prevent an injury from occurring. By supporting and stabilising the knee, this brace helps prevent patella injuries from occurring and even helps heal existing injuries.

Sizing Information for the DJO Lateral-J Knee Brace

The Lateral-J Knee Brace is available in six different sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of users. Due to the snug, compressive nature of the Donjoy Lateral-J Brace, it's vital that you accurately follow the sizing instructions below to ensure you get the right fit for you.

Take a flat fabric tape measure and place one end on the centre of the knee cap before measuring 15cm up your thigh. Measure the circumference of your thigh in this area before consulting the sizing chart below with your measurement.

Sizing Tips and Tricks

• Ensure that the "wrap-around" straps are correctly positioned above and below the patella hole
• A correctly positioned brace should have the patella opening sat over the centre of the kneecap
• If your brace is uncomfortable, ensure the lateral and medial sides are positioned correctly

What If My Measurement Falls Between Sizes?

If you fall between sizes, we recommend selecting the larger of two for the most comfort fit.

How Does a Correctly Fitted Donjoy Lateral-J Knee Brace Feel?

If you have correctly followed our sizing guidance above, your Donjoy Lateral-J Knee Brace will provide a reinforced, compressive fit. Provided you have correctly positioned the patella opening across the centre of the kneecap (as pictured below), you should feel an even distribution of pressure across the whole of the knee right away.

What Is the Benefit of a Snug-Fit Knee Brace?

This close-fit helps draw tired and worn out ligaments and tendons in toward the kneecap, preventing instability and weakness when bending and flexing. A tight fit is normal for a knee brace as one that fits loosely won't provide the correct level of support.
