Should I Choose a Medial or Lateral Compartment?
Your choice of a medial (inside the knee) or lateral (outside of the knee) compartment knee brace will depend on which side of the knee is affected. The brace applies pressure to the opposite side of the knee that feels pain, helping to open up the joint on your affected side to avoid osteoarthritic friction. For example if you suffer from:
- Inner Left Knee Pain: You need the Medial Left/Lateral Right Brace
- Outer Left Knee Pain: You need the Medial Right/Lateral Left Brace
- Inner Right Knee Pain: You need the Medial Right/Lateral Left Brace
- Outer Right Knee Pain: You need the Medial Left/Lateral Right Brace
How Does the Clima-Flex Knee Support Work?
When you suffer from osteoarthritis, the surfaces of your knee become damaged, which prevents your knee from moving as it normally should. The cartilage in your knee tends to become rough and thin and your knee bone grows too thick, causing swelling in the area. Your body can repair the damage on its own, but often it will leave behind an injured knee.
How Can the Clima-Flex Support Help Me?
C-6 fabric helps to keep the Donjoy OA Brace comfortable
The Donjoy OA Knee Support works by providing comfortable, cooling relief through compression and off-loading. New Donjoy C-6 Fabric Technology delivers breathable, moisture-absorbing comfort to the knee, while the antimicrobial technology used also keeps your knee joint cool.
The Knee Support Clima-Flex applies gentle force to reduce pressure on the affected part of the knee. This gives your knee time to heal while allowing you to use your knee with reduced discomfort. The knee brace allows you to adjust its hinge on the go, providing you with comforting relief whenever pain is increased.
