DonJoy OA Lite Osteoarthritis Knee Brace

The DonJoy OA Lite is a premier clinical orthosis engineered specifically for patients suffering from mild-to-moderate unicompartmental osteoarthritis. By utilizing a patented 3-point load system within a single-upright framework, this brace creates a Zero-Friction environment for the joint. The OA Lite effectively shifts painful compressive loads away from the damaged medial compartment, providing the mechanical "unloading" necessary to reduce bone-on-bone friction. Constructed from breathable, lightweight Floam™ material, this low-profile brace is designed to be worn comfortably under clothing, making it the ideal solution for active patients who want to maintain their mobility without the bulk of traditional rigid braces.

Clinical Features & Patient Benefits

• 3-Point Load Offloading: Features a mechanical leverage system that provides "Zero-Friction" relief by shifting pressure away from the affected joint compartment.
• Single Upright Design: A low-profile, "Zero-Friction" framework that reduces bulk and prevents the brace from rubbing against the opposite leg during ambulation.
• Floam™ Breathable Material: Utilizes a specialized, lightweight fabric that facilitates "Zero-Friction" moisture management and anatomical contouring for all-day comfort.
• Pre-Set 10° Valgus/Varus Correction: Specifically engineered to provide a constant "Zero-Friction" corrective force, improving joint alignment and reducing inflammatory pain.

The Clinical Authority: Why Professionals Trust the OA Lite

Orthopedic specialists and Rheumatologists specify the DonJoy OA Lite for its exceptional "patient compliance." Its "Zero-Friction" environment is the gold standard for treating medial compartment OA in patients who find rigid, dual-upright braces too restrictive. By providing a targeted mechanical shift in the joint’s loading axis, the brace reduces the physiological stress on the articular cartilage. This targeted approach is highly effective for delaying the need for invasive surgical intervention and allowing patients to return to low-impact activities like walking, golf, and gardening with significantly less pain.

FAQ: Arthritis Relief & Daily Use

Will this fit under my jeans?
Yes. The "Zero-Friction" low-profile design is specifically engineered to be the most discreet offloader on the market, fitting easily under most standard clothing.

Is it hard to put on?
No. The "Zero-Friction" wraparound thigh and calf straps allow for easy application and adjustment, even for patients with limited hand dexterity.

Does it fit either leg?
No. To ensure the "Zero-Friction" offloading force is applied to the correct compartment, you must specify the Left or Right leg and whether the pain is on the Inner (Medial) or Outer (Lateral) side.

Specifications & Sizing Table

Selection is based on the circumference of the thigh, measured 6" (15cm) above the mid-patella. Measure carefully for an optimal "Zero-Friction" clinical fit:
