Tru-Pull Lite
DonJoy
Dominate your day with precision patella alignment. The Tru‑Pull Lite uses a dynamic bifurcated strap and dual-durometer buttress to keep your kneecap locked in proper tracking—even through tight turns and hard sprints.
Optimized for athletes and movers, it’s low-profile, breathable, and built to stay put during every play .
The Tru-Pull Lite can be used to treat or prevent the following knee injuries:
- Overuse Injuries
- Muscle Imbalance
- Runner’s Knee
- Blunt Trauma
- Kneecap Misalignment
- Dislocation
- Chondromalacia
- Patellar Tracking Disorder
✕
Find the Right Fit:
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, leg muscles gently flexed.
- Place measuring tape flat against the skin (not tight). Measure leg circumference at:
- 6 inches above kneecap
- Center of kneecap
- 6 inches below kneecap
- Use chart to find your size. If you land between sizes—or if thigh and calf measurements suggest different sizes—choose the larger option.
A correctly sized brace will feel comfortably snug and supportive without being excessively tight.

It may be “Lite”, but it’s strong enough to help relieve pain!
The Tru-Pull Lite is DonJoy’s most comfortable, low profile and shortest patellofemoral brace, yet strong enough to help relieve knee pain! This patella support brace is designed with pull straps above and below the patella (kneecap). This puts a “true” and consistent pull on the kneecap during flexion and extension, which realigns the patella. By properly aligning the kneecap you reduce the pain that comes with patellofemoral problems like dislocating your kneecap.
This brace is ideal for runners, recreational athletes, or individuals who are looking for extra patella support during their daily activities.
The DonJoy Tru-Pull Lite knee brace is used to treat or prevent the following injuries:
- Mild to moderate anterior knee pain

Are you having problems with your kneecap? Does it track incorectly? This is what the Tru-Pull Lite is used for. Usually this is not worn by someone who just had a total knee replacement. If you are having some discomfort around the fron of the knee but no instability the DonJoy Reaction Web knee brace might be a better choice. You can call product support at 888-405-5124, and we can help you find a brace that will fit your needs
