Donjoy Tru Pull Lite Knee Support
Suffering from knee pain makes walking difficult, which can in turn have an effect on your ability to perform daily activities. The Donjoy Tru Pull Lite Knee Support uses a dual durometer buttress system to apply consistent, corrective force on the area. This, combined with the bifurcated straps of the support, help to pull the patella into alignment and therefore reduce discomfort.
Who Can Make Gains with the Tru Pull Lite Knee Brace?
The Tru Pull Lite Knee Brace is suitable for acute mild-to-moderate anterior knee pain, providing support for patellar instability and lateral subluxation and maltracking. It does this through independent pull straps that apply a true and consistent pull on the patella during flexion and extension, thereby realigning the patella. Because your knee is so vital to how you perform, it's paramount that you give it the support and protection it needs.
As a result of its supportive features, the Donjoy Tru Pull Lite Support can be used for a number of conditions. This includes the following:
- Acute mild-to-moderate lateral patella subluxation
- Dislocation
- Maltracking

How Does the Donjoy Tru Pull Lite Knee Support Work?
The Donjoy Tru Pull Lite Knee Support is designed specifically for individuals with unstable knee caps and pain at or around the patella. By using twin hinges on the left and right of the brace and a wide buttress support enclosure to stabilise the cap itself, the Pull Lite Support draws all areas of the knee inwards, preventing instability and reducing the pain associated with worn down and fatigued knees.
How Tight Is the Tru Pull Knee Support?
Tightness matters when dealing with unstable and poorly conditioned joints. The Tru Pull Knee Support provides a tight, compressive fit to correctly position the knee cap so healing and rehabilitation can occur following an injury or years of wear and tear.
The Tru Pull Knee Support uses twin straps located above and below the wide buttress to further ensure the brace remains stable and in place.
Why Does Tight Compression Matter?
Loose ligaments, tendons and muscles surrounding the knee cap results in further instability and weakness across the joint. By wearing a brace the constricts and pulls all these different areas inward toward the patella, you are preventing instability whilst correctly aligning the knee cap if positioning is causing weakness.
What Does a Correctly Fitted Tru Pull Support Feel Like When Worn?
If you have correctly followed our sizing guidance section above, you will receive a brace that fits tightly without restricting movement and comfort. You will find that your are able to bend, walk and run without that horrible feeling of your knee giving way.
What Do Medial and Lateral Hinges Do?
Medial and lateral refers to the areas on the left and right of the joint, or the inside and outside. The Tru Pull Brace uses twin hinges that can be removed if required to target and draw inward two areas of the knee that are inherently weakened with age and wear and tear.
If you feel instability or feel like your knee is about to give way when taking the stairs or climbing, these hinges are exactly what you need. These hinges flex and adjust as you walk, making sure that your stride isn't compromised.
Twin Straps Enhance Support Level
Twin straps located above and below the wide patella buttress ensure your brace not only stays in place no matter what you're up to, but that the large muscles above and below the knee are correctly primed and positioned to take the weight of your stride. These straps are fully adjustable and can be seamlessly loosened and tightened using an easy to use hook and loop fastening.
