Description of the Donjoy Fortilax Knee Brace
This ligament brace for the knee is indicated in the following cases:
- Support following mild sprains; support for quadriceps atrophy
- Proprioceptive stimulation (support) and injury prevention during sports activities
- Compression and support for acute moderate-severity or chronic knee injuries
- Mild knee osteoarthritis
Comfort and Adaptability: Anatomical Knit and Two-Way Stretch
The product’s anatomical knit is one of its most impressive features. Designed to fit any body type perfectly, it provides unmatched comfort and support. Its two-way stretch allows the product to expand both widthwise and lengthwise, providing great flexibility and facilitating movement.
To enhance comfort, a looser knit has been incorporated in the popliteal fossa—the back of the knee. This feature allows for better ventilation and prevents any sensation of tightness or pressure that might bother the user.
The design of this product also includes a loose-knit mesh over the kneecap, which helps prevent swelling. This specific design promotes proper blood circulation, thereby minimizing the risk of swelling and discomfort.
The model is bilateral, meaning it can be worn on either the right or left knee. This flexibility makes the product even more practical and versatile.
Finally, it’s important to note that the product is latex-free. This feature is essential for people who are allergic to latex. This means that anyone can use this product without worrying about potential allergic reactions.
How to Care for Your Knee Brace?
To preserve the therapeutic properties of your knee brace over time, we recommend following these simple guidelines:
- Hand wash.
- Dry away from heat sources.
- Do not use detergents or harsh chemicals (such as chlorine-based products).
