is it okay to use this brace to swim in?

Question by: Jill on Jan 20, 2011, 1:28 PM

Hello Jill,

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.

These say they have increased medial thigh clearance. Is the clearance increased enough to wear two together?

Question by: April on May 11, 2012, 8:38 AM

Yes you could wear two braces at once since the medial thigh portion is open.

A year ago I tore my ACL, shredded my meniscus and suffered a high grade 3 sprain to my MCL. I had surgery and am now returning to Judo and Jiu-Jitsu. I'm a small woman (5' 0" , 113 lbs), and my 10 years of lifting weights have given me pretty big thighs (19"). Should I get this brace or the 4titude?

Question by: Beth on May 16, 2013, 8:14 PM

Hello Beth,

I recommend the 4titude. it's our shortest brace. It is available in a short thigh, and short calf. It has a malleable thigh cuff, if you needed to adjust it to accomodate for your thigh.

Thanks for contacting Donjoy.

Have a Great Day.

It says this brace is moldable. What does that mean? How should I go about doing this?

Question by: Rachel on Jun 26, 2013, 12:25 PM

Hello Rachel,

The thigh cuff and calf cuff may be ajusted if they are too tight or loose. To adjust the cuffs you will squeeze/pull-apart the uprights

I have an ACL rupture. I don't want to do surgery yet. I am doing physiotherapy to straten my knee. Is this brace the best choice for me? I am 5'8" 130 lbs.

Question by: Ilsa on Jun 27, 2013, 9:53 PM

Hello Llsa,

I recommend the FullFource, this is an ACL Brace, with a Fource-Point Hinge. This type of hinge provides support to the ACL, by dampening the last 25 degree's of extension.

I am a 51 y.o. female who had surgery last week for a medial meniscal tear and ACL probing and "trimming". I had ACL repair 26 years ago and it appears the ACL is now "deficient" as my Dr. quoted. It is there but non-functional. He doesn't want to do a revision d/t lengthy rehab and my age. I primarily do cardio/ weights at the Y, walk, and occasionally golf. I am 5'11'. What brace would you recommend for this scenario? I like the low-profile type if possible.
Thanks!

Question by: Becky on Aug 6, 2013, 9:52 AM

Hello Becky,

I recommend the Full-Fource, its the lightest ACL brace we currently have, and it features our New Fourcepoint Hinge. Or if you would also like a OA Hinge that offloads your damaged meniscus we have the OA FullFource, of Nano.

The OA Braces off load the meniscus by opening up the joint space, in your particular case the lateral hinge will apply pressure on the lateral side of knee to open up the joint space and take the pressure off the medial knee.

Thanks for Contacting Donjoy.

I measure between two sizes! What should I do?

Question by: Clare on Oct 8, 2013, 4:40 AM

Clare,
Not knowing your measurements, it would be recommended you go with the Knee Center measurement. That is the priority area for the fit and comfort. You can call Product Support at 800.553.6019 for assistance in helping you choose the correct brace for your situation. Thank you for contacting DJO.
