Playmaker Knee Brace
Our most popular intermediate level knee brace.
The DonJoy Playmaker knee brace provides dependable support for mild to moderate ACL and/or PCL, MCL and LCL instabilities. What makes this knee brace unique from other soft-hinged knee braces is the incorporation of DonJoy’s revolutionary Four-Points-of-Leverage, helps to reduce instability in the ACL.
In addition to providing superior ACL support, the Playmaker is a comfortable brace to wear. A low profile design, breathable fabric, and polycentric hinges allow for uninhibited movement of the knee.
