Why do I need a custom knee brace?
Wearing a custom knee brace means support is applied where you need it most. When you order a DonJoy Defiance III knee brace, one of the DonJoy bracing experts will come to your house or office to take your measurements. Then DonJoy will custom manufacture a brace that fits your exact measurements. This perfect fit ensures the components of the brace align perfectly with your body ensuring maximum protection and comfort during movement. By wearing a brace that is custom manufactured for your knee, you can play your sport with confidence because you know that you’re less likely to re-injure your knee.
