DonJoy Drytex Hinged Air Knee Brace: Key Features & Benefits

Targeted Pain Relief and Treatment

This brace is specifically engineered to treat and ease pain associated with a comprehensive list of knee ailments, including:

• Patellofemoral Issues: Effectively manages pain from patellofemoral malalignment, patella subluxation, and dislocation.
• Cartilage and Tendon Conditions: Provides support for Chondromalacia Patella (chondromalacia) and patella tendonitis.
• Instability and Post-Surgical Care: Offers crucial medial/lateral support for instabilities and is ideal for recovery following procedures like a lateral release surgery.
• General Anterior Knee Pain: A primary solution for diffuse anterior knee pain, addressing issues like tilt, glide, and rotation of the kneecap.

Innovative Patented Air Technology

The defining feature of the DonJoy Drytex Hinged Air Knee Brace is its unique inflatable buttress system, which is the source of the “Air” in its name.

• Customizable Patellar Control: The pneumatic buttress can be inflated to provide precise medial, lateral, or full patellar support, conforming perfectly to your anatomy.
• Independent Stabilizing Walls: The right and left halves of the air buttress operate independently, allowing you to create a stabilized “wall” on either side of the kneecap for a truly customized and targeted stabilization experience.

Advanced Hinge System for Superior Support

The DonJoy Drytex Hinged Air Knee Brace is equipped with a professional-grade polycentric hinge system that replicates the natural motion of the knee.

• Medial/Lateral Support: The robust hinges provide essential support to counter instability on the inner and outer sides of the knee joint.
• Adjustable Motion Control: The system includes interchangeable flexion and extension stops to control your range of motion as needed for your specific stage of recovery.
• Flexion Stops: Includes 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40-degree stops (with 10 degrees installed by default).
• Extension Stops: Includes 45, 60, 75, and 90-degree stops.
• Optional Use: These stops do not have to be used if unrestricted motion is permitted, making the brace adaptable throughout your entire rehabilitation journey.

Superior Comfort and Practical Design

Every aspect of the Donjoy Drytex Hinged Air Knee Brace is designed for all-day comfort and easy use.

• Drytex Construction: The brace is made from Drytex, a advanced neoprene alternative that offers improved airflow, reducing heat and moisture buildup for a cooler, more comfortable wear compared to traditional neoprene.
• Easy Application: A wraparound thigh and sleeve calf design makes putting on and taking off the brace simple, without compromising on the secure fit.
• Enhanced Fit and Compression: Adjustable thigh and calf straps allow you to dial in the perfect level of compression and support.
• Popliteal Cutout: A strategic cutout behind the knee eliminates material bunching during deep flexion, preventing irritation and improving comfort when bending the knee.
