Donjoy Drytex Economy Hinged Knee Brace DME-Direct

Exactly the same as one purchased 15 years ago

I bought one of these 15 years ago and it finally got deteriorated enough that I wanted to get another one. This one was the exact same as the one that I bought years ago. Fits naturally slightly tighter but not too tight. Love this and it works well. I have no acl in my left knee and it supports me sufficiently to be somewhat active. I'm no longer a tennis player but I still am able to play and be active.

Surprisingly unhappy

So I've ordered this type and style of brace many times through the years, as I use it roughly two times a week when playing basketball. I've rarely had a problem with it. This time, I found that the bottom strap didn't go all the way around to the other side -- it stops roughly halfway in the front. The top strap is closer to going all the way around, but not quite.Also, the brace was tight the first time I used it, then became a lot looser after that. I'll still use it, but I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed in the apparent changes.

On Bended Knee

What an Improvement

At 64 years of age I decided to get off of the couch and start running again. All was going well until I developed knee pain which was diagnosed as osteoarthritis which has caused the leg pain and my lower leg to bow. My orthopedic surgeon recommended a knee brace with metal rods internal to the brace. I bought my Donjoy Drytex Economy Hinged Knee Brace and have resumed running again. In full disclosure, the knee still hurts though not nearly as much because the knee doesn't wobble as it did before. The brace has given me the confidence to workout to completion. I really like the Donjoy Economy Hinged brace and look forward to postponing knee replacement because of it.

A good, solid brace

Overall, the Donjoy Drytex Economy knee brace has allowed me to continue playing basketball in my late 40s, years after a ligament injury and cartilage surgery. It's not a miracle worker, but it does the job.

Donjoy knee brace

excellent product and really helped my knee

This is my second Donjoy knee brace of this model. The first was prescribed by my ortho doc. The velcro eventually becomes less "sticky" and the brace eventually stretched because I wore it so much, I wore it out. But it took two years to do it. I ordered the same thing on DME (better price). I tried the cheaper brands available in drugstores but they are nothing compared to this one. I find it comfortable (albeit a bit bulky under slacks) even in the hot weather (I live in TX). After wearing it for three weeks I am almost free of pain (I have a patella tracking issue). I checked other sites and found DME to be the best in service, price and customer satisfaction. I did order something else that I didn't like and they they took the return, no questions asked. I give this site and this product an A+.

Amazed

I've had 4 surgeries on my knee, including a maquet procedure. So I decide to take up running...yes, I know. First day I tried this brace, I saw a significant decrease in the amount of pain I had during and after running. I won't run another day without it.

Very good knee brace for the money

The brace doesn't have all of the bells and whistles like some of the more expensive models, but it fits well and provides ample support with all of my activities. Love it.

So-Cal Surfer

Hyper Extend? No more...

Been surfing here in Malibu since I was a kid, but lately my knees are feeling pain and have even "hyper extended" a couple times. Now I'm bracing them with these. I can still enjoy surfing without the fear of screwing up my legs. My advice: Rinse off the ocean water when you are done for the day to keep 'em clean and in good shape.
