The DonJoy OA GO Knee Brace is designed to provide comfortable support and relief for individuals suffering from osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Engineered with patient comfort and ease of use in mind, this brace offers effective stabilization and pain management, allowing users to maintain an active lifestyle.
DonJoy OA GO Knee Brace Key Features:
- Lightweight Design: Constructed from lightweight materials for enhanced comfort during extended wear.
- Open Patella Design: Facilitates movement and flexibility while supporting the knee joint.
- 3-Point Leverage System: OA GO’s patented fitting system uses adjustable BOA dials to control the level of tension within its two cable loops. This tension reorients the flexible elements of the brace to create a three-point leverage system that offloads the affected compartment and provides relief.
- Comfort: Anatomically contoured condyle pads: Adhere to the knee anatomy for improved pressure distribution. Two different thicknesses (10mm and 13mm) of condyle pad included to aid individual fit and comfort for varied anatomies. Anti-slip bands: Positioned at the top of the thigh to prevent brace migration and maintain a comfortable fit. Breathable, stretchable, antibacterial fabrics: Aid comfort, compliance, and hygiene, enabling extended periods of use. Rear lycra section provides additional comfort and freedom over the popliteal fossa.
- Ease of Use: Hybrid sleeve/wrap design: Half wrap, half sleeve, OA GO combines the benefits of both to make fitting quick and easy. Simply open the thigh section then pull the lower sleeve section over the calf before securing the support with the hook-and-loop fastening. Precision fit and fast release: Twin multidirectional BOA Li2 dials deliver a precision fit engineered to perform in the toughest conditions. Turn clockwise and counter-clockwise for independent tightening and releasing of thigh and calf areas, or pull up for quick release. Easy-grip pull tab: Facilitates quick and easy attachment and release of the locking plate, and folds down flat to avoid catching.
- Latex-free
