Donjoy Armor Features:
- FREE GROUND SHIPPING!
- Four-Points-of-Leverage design provides ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL protection.
- The Donjoy Armor knee brace is available with a standard hinge or an optional FourcePoint hinge which utilizes a spring mechanism that applies gradually increasing resistance during the last 25 degrees of extension to slow down acceleration into a straightened out knee. The resistance serves three critical roles:
- Reduces the time spent near full extension or in the at risk position.
- Increases the posterior load applied by the brace on the tibia to prevent anterior tibial translation.
- Eliminates the extension shock felt when a patient extends into a 10 degree standard rigid stop.
- Moldable frame for a custom fit.
- Optional Medial Hinge Deflector- Available on ski version only! Helps deflect against another brace when bilateral braces are worn together.
- Medial swooping thigh cuff for inner thigh clearance and bilateral brace use.
- Strong and lightweight 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum frame for the ultimate in brace frame strength.
- Durable, silver-veined powder coat finish.
- Available in a standard calf length for maximum leverage or a short calf length for boot clearance.
- Swiveling strap tabs enhance contact with the knee and prevent slippage down the leg.
- Anti-migration Supra Condyle Pad (Action version only).
- Air Condyle Pad (available on Ski version only) - helps keep the brace in place on the leg.
- Patella/Shin Impact Guard accessory protects the shin and knee against blunt blows.
- Calf Pinch Guard accessory provides a smooth transition between boot and calf cuff.
- 1 year warranty on frame and hinge.
- 6 month warranty on soft goods.

STEP ONE: Choose Your Donjoy Armor Model:
- Armor Action: This is a regular style brace and does not have a "medial knee deflector" curvature in its design as pictured below in the "Available Accessories", #1 photo; A regular length or a short calf length is available. Comes in three models: ACL, PCL, and CI versions (CI stands for "Combined instability". For example, CI = ACL + MCL tears).
- ACL - as pictured above.
- PCL - has additional posterior gastroc strap in the rear.
- CI - has both the additional thigh strap across the front of the thigh, and a gastroc strap for added ACL and PCL protection - most popular model.
- Armor Ski: This brace is suitable for people 5'7" and shorter or for use with motocross/ski boots where anyone 5'9" and shorter would be concerned about their boot hitting the bottom of the brace. The same ACL, PCL, CI versions (strap arrangements) are available.
STEP TWO: Choose Your Donjoy Armor Brace Length:
- Standard/regular Calf or a Short Calf (for ski boots and where the patients calf bulk is less than a regular individual). Note: All Armor Ski versions come in Short Calf only.
STEP THREE: Choose Your Hinge:
FourcePoint: Utilizes a spring mechanism to apply gradual, increasing resistance during the last 25 degrees of extension - Available on Armor Action ACL Standard Calf, Armor Action ACL Short Calf and Armor Ski ACL Short Calf versions only.

- Standard Hinge: A standard polycentric hinge that mimics the knee joint's natural range of motion - Available on Armor Action ACL/PCL/CI Standard Calf/Short Calf versions and Armor Ski ACL/PCL/CI Short Calf versions.
What is the Four Points of Leverage Design?:
The Four Points of Leverage combine to successfully apply a net differential posterior force, or constant force to the tibia, which reduces the instability in the ACL. This Four Points of Leverage design is used on the Defiance III, Defiance, Armor, Female Fource, 4TITUDE and Legend braces.
