Tru-Pull Lite
DonJoy
Moderate support specifically designed for acute patella subluxation or maltracking. Low-profile design with dual density buttress provides constant corrective force to guide kneecap into place. Removable nylon hinges offer medial/lateral support, while breathable, antimicrobial fabric ensures comfort for long-term wear.
Recommended for:
- Patella Subluxation
- Medial/Lateral Instability
- Post-Arthroscopic Menisectomy
- Patellar Tracking Disorder
- Chondromalacia
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.

How To:
Brace Application Guide
Apply the brace while seated at the edge of a chair with the leg extended, heel on the floor, toes pointing upward, and the thigh muscles relaxed. Slide the leg through the sleeve and pull it into position so the patella opening sits slightly off‑center toward the outside of the knee, allowing the buttress to make contact with the lateral edge of the kneecap. With the buttress positioned against the skin, wrap and secure the bottom strap around the calf, followed by the top strap, adjusting both to guide the patella comfortably into alignment.
To receive maximum therapeutic support, the knee brace should feel snug and supportive without being excessively tight or restricting circulation.
Customization Tips for Compression & Support
Increase patella correction: For added pull on the kneecap, tighten both the top and bottom straps at the same time before securing them.
Fine‑tune support: The amount of patella control can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing strap tension until the desired level of support is achieved.
Adjust strap length: If needed, release the strap end from the back of the strap and shorten or lengthen it to improve fit and comfort.
Remove hinges (optional): Hinges can be removed by sliding them out through the slot at the top inside edge of the hinge casing, allowing for a lower‑profile fit if preferred.
