Donjoy Stabilax Elastic Knee Support with Removable Hinges

Recovering from a knee injury can be a long and gruelling process. To speed things up, you will need a brace that provides exceptionally high levels of compression to stabilise and support the knee as it heals. The Donjoy Stabilax Elastic Knee Support with Removable Hinges is a powerful and versatile knee support that will vastly increase your rate of recover so that you can return to your favourite sporting activities quicker.

What's Included?

• 1 x Elastic Knee Sleeve

Which Size Is Right for Me?

The Donjoy Stabliax is available in seven different sizes. It is important to ensure you choose the right size to ensure the support fits anatomically. Measure the circumference of the thigh 15cm above the centre of the kneecap (as shown) and then consult the table below to find the right size. If your measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend that you choose the next size up for better comfort.

How Do I Use the Donjoy Stabilax Knee Support?

The Donjoy Stabilax is designed for easy use. The brace has an anatomical 3D knit design that makes it easy to position correctly over the knee. Made with elastic material, the support will slip over your leg with ease and can be stretched for a more ergonomic fit. Adjust the straps to suit your preference as shown in the video below: tighter for more compression or looser for greater mobility.

Please note that the size of the straps may vary depending on the size of the product.

Who Can Use the Donjoy Stabilax Support with Straps?

Due to the high level of compression that the Donjoy Stabilax provides, the brace is suitable for treating a wide range of knee injuries, from chronic instability to torn ligaments. This makes the support ideal for injury prone sports players and people suffering from conditions that cause painful joints. The range of injuries and conditions applicable for the Stabilax include:

• Torn ligaments
• Torn menisci
• Knee dislocation
• Knee fractures
• Knee osteoarthritis
• Injury prevention

Stabilising Hinges for Added Compression

Featuring two semi-rigid polycentric hinges, the Donjoy Stabilax holds the knee in a stable position and provides extra compression. The hinges help restrict the range of motion and take on more of your weight as you move. This causes less strain on the knee and gives it a better chance of recovering. 

Fully Adjustable

To increase the level of pressure placed on your knee, tighten the two provided straps at the thigh and lower leg. The tighter the fit, the more force is absorbed, meaning less strain on the knee. As your knee recovers, you can then loosen the straps or remove the hinges entirely to improve mobility while remaining supported.

Anatomically Contoured Knee Pad

Providing extra pain relief, the Donjoy Stabilax features a padded ring that's positioned around the patella. This pad stabilises the fragile kneecap and massages the area with small stimulating nubs to promote blood flow and reduce pain.

Breathable Design

Made with soft-knit breathable fibres, the Donjoy Stabilax is nice and comfy to wear. When you're not strapped in too tight, the elastic design of the brace allows for unrestricted movement while still providing a high level of support.

Allergy Friendly

The material of the Donjoy Knee Support is latex and PVC-free to prevent your body from reacting badly to the support, meaning you won't end up with any irritating rashes forming on your leg.
