Indications for the Donjoy Left Medial/Right Lateral Brace
The OA Reaction Web Knee Brace is ideal as a 'first-time' choice as it allows you to get more accustomed to wearing a knee brace so you're ready to transition to a more rigid support when necessary. The support is designed for the following indications:
- Early-to-mid unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee
- Early-to-mid unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the patella
How Does the Support Work?
Stay active with the Donjoy OA Reaction Web Left Medial/Right Lateral Knee Brace!
The Donjoy OA Reaction Web Brace uses patented silicone 'web' technology that extends and retracts as your leg moves. This helps absorb and release kinetic energy to reduce shock, anterior knee pain and stress on the knee.
Designed with a single malleable aluminium upright built with 6° of valgus correction, the Left Medial/Right Lateral Support enables you to adjust how and where the support offloads pressure. This helps more effectively reduce discomfort in the affected knee compartments. The shape of the anterior cut-out also helps re-align the patella in the femoral grove, which enhances patella stability and comfort.
Lateral Vs Medial Support: Which Option Should I Choose?
While the medial refers to the parts of your body that are closest to its centre, the lateral refers to the areas that are closest to its sides.

Is This Support Suitable for Watersports?
This support can assist with the impacts and pain associated with water sports, but if it is used in salt water, it should be rinsed with clean water after each use. It should then be dried, as some components of the brace may wear over time if left waterlogged.
