Model: 11-2012/11-2013 Donjoy Wraparound Knee
The Donjoy Drytex Wraparound Knee Brace simplifies fitting issues associated with traditional styled pull-up models. This product is designed to provide mild to moderate medial lateral protection with sports and everyday activities. This Donjoy wraparound knee brace is made from Drytex, a neoprene alternative constructed out of a unique nylon/polyester Lycra fabric that allows for improved airflow. This fabric provides compression and support, yet allows for breath-ability compared to traditional neoprene styles. This is a great solution if you have allergies, skin sensitivities or live in warm weather climates. The drytex hinged wraparound knee features polycentric hinges that are designed to mimic the knee joint's natural motion which reduces brace slippage and bunching up of the brace behind the knee. This model has a thigh strap and a calf strap for added compression and support along with a patella cutout for increased comfort around the front of your knee. The wraparound design can accommodate larger size people who might not fit inside a pull-up model as easily. Finally, this brace can be ordered with a popliteal cutout where the material directly behind the knee is cutout in an oval to prevent bunching up behind the knee.

Donjoy Drytex Wraparound Hinged Knee Brace Benefits:
- Drytex is a breathable solution for patients with skin sensitivities or those who prefer less warmth from their bracing. It's constructed out of a unique patented nylon, polyester Lycra fabric, it allows for improved airflow while still giving ample support and compression.
- Indicated for mild medial/lateral support and buckling of the knee.
- Low profile.
- Wrap around design for easier application.
- Durable, lightweight breathable fabric.
- The polycentric hinge can accommodate Extension stops: 10, 20, 30, and 40 degrees (10 degrees installed) // Flexion stops: 45, 60, 75 and 90 degrees (Must purchase Flexion/Extension Stop Kit for this ability to "set" the brace's range of motion.) The Flexion/Extension Stop kit is needed only if the user needs to limit the range of motion of the brace. Most individuals order this product without the Flexion/Extension Stop Kit so they have full knee range of motion with the brace.
- Universal - fits both right and left sides.
