ACL Brace Specifically Designed for Women!
Females are 2-10 times more likely to sustain an ACL tear than males. The DonJoy Female Fource by DJO addresses biomechanical factors that have been implicated in the high incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears in females. The Female Fource incorporates DonJoy Orthopedics’ (DJO) FourcePoint hinge technology, which has been clinically demonstrated to increase knee flexion angles1, 2, limiting the time the knee spends in at-risk positions during activity; therefore, providing females the protection they need.
The Female Fource is a functional knee brace that comes with a custom graphics sticker sheet to allow patients to personalize their braces to their own liking.
DonJoy’s (DJO) OTS Female Fource is a lightweight, low profile functional knee brace designed specifically for females and is perfect for the active female returning to sport or the general female population returning to activities of daily living where an OTS brace is required.

Product Questions
You'll want to rinse the brace in fresh water after immersion.
Also you may want to purchase a tube of DRY Teflon Lube, adding a drop in the back of the hinge after immersion. This step will keep the hinge functioning properly.

You can either bend if too big or pull the frame if too small. You will not break it so go ahead and mold it that way
