DonJoy Tru-Pull Lite Knee Support Brace Instruction Manual

1. Product Overview

The DonJoy Tru-Pull Lite Knee Brace is engineered to provide comfortable and effective support for individuals experiencing mild to moderate patellar dislocations. Its low-profile design ensures minimal bulk while offering maximum stability to the kneecap.

Constructed from Breath-O-Prene, a hypoallergenic, breathable, and lightweight wicking fabric, this brace ensures comfort during extended wear. The material provides a soft, tacky connection with the patella, preventing rotation and ensuring consistent support. Removable plastic hinges are included for optional medial/lateral stability.

2. Key Features

  • Patellar Realignment: Designed with pull straps above and below the patella, providing a consistent pull during flexion and extension to realign the kneecap.
  • Pain Reduction: Helps reduce pain associated with patellofemoral problems and dislocating kneecaps by ensuring proper alignment.
  • Breathable Material: Made from Breath-O-Prene, a hypoallergenic, breathable, and lightweight fabric for enhanced comfort.
  • Secure Fit: Features independent anchors at the thigh and calf to prevent the brace from rotating or slipping.
  • Optional Stability: Includes removable plastic hinges for additional medial/lateral support as needed.
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for runners, recreational athletes, and individuals seeking extra patella support for daily activities like soccer or walking.

3. Sizing and Fit Guide

Accurate measurement is crucial for optimal fit and performance of your DonJoy Tru-Pull Lite Knee Brace. Please follow these steps carefully:

  1. Preparation: Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart, legs slightly bent, and leg muscles contracted.
  2. Knee Measurement: Measure the circumference of your leg at the midpoint of your kneecap.
  3. Thigh Measurement: Measure six inches (6") up from the center of your kneecap. At this 6-inch mark, measure the circumference of your thigh.
  4. Calf Measurement: Measure six inches (6") down from the center of your kneecap. At this 6-inch mark, measure the circumference of your calf.

Use these three measurements (knee, thigh, and calf circumference) to select your size from the product's sizing chart. If your measurements fall between sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit, as the brace is designed to be snug.
