Donjoy Rotulax Elastic Knee Support

When you’re getting back on your feet after an injury to the knee, it’s important that you support the area to reduce further damage. The Donjoy Rotulax Elastic Knee Support provides you with extra support during sporting activities and everyday use. The support is elastic in multiple directions for an improved fit, which helps improve the outcome of your condition or injury.

Key Features and Benefits

• Free from latex to prevent allergic reactions
• Available with either an open or closed patella
• Made with breathable, biocompatible yarn for comfort
• Elastic in multiple directions for an anatomical fit
• Offers gradient compression from the proximal to the distal
• Designed with a looser popliteal knit for added comfort
• Silicone patellar buttress increases stability in the area
• Features bilateral flexible stays and aluminium hinges for support

Indications for the Elastic Knee Brace

The Rotulax Knee Support is suitable for a wide range of indications. This includes the following:

• General stabilisation of acute patella injury
• Preventive use in cases of a hyperlax patella
• Post-operative support following a patella operation
• Proprioceptive and neuromuscular stimulation through compression

Open or Closed Patella Options

The Donjoy Rotulax Knee Support can be purchased with either an open or closed patella according to your needs. An open patella support is suitable if you find that closed patella supports irritate and exacerbate your injury, whereas a closed patella support is particularly suitable if your main objective is to stabilise and support the area. The closed version of this support is made with non-compressing knitted fabric over the patella to prevent local oedema during use.

Features Flexible Stays

Despite its fairly simple style, the Rotulax Elastic Knee Support features bilateral, flexible stays and aluminium hinges. This improves the level of support you receive during use. The support offers a gradient level of compression from the proximal to the distal so you remain comfortable while also getting the protection you need where you need it most.
