DonJoy Playmaker II Knee Brace

The DonJoy Playmaker II is a high-performance clinical orthosis engineered for the rigid stabilization of the knee joint following ligamentous injuries or surgical reconstructions. By utilizing advanced Hi10™ (high-tenacity nylon/spandex) fabric and a robust hinge system, this brace creates a Zero-Friction environment that manages anterior, posterior, and lateral instabilities. The brace features DonJoy’s proven DROM (Dynamic Range of Motion) hinges, which allow clinicians to prescribe specific flexion and extension limits to protect the ACL, MCL, and LCL during the healing process. Whether configured as a sleeve for maximum compression or a wraparound for easier application, the Playmaker II is the premier clinical choice for active patients requiring the mechanical confidence to return to functional mobility and low-impact athletic activities.

Clinical Features & Patient Benefits

• Advanced Hi10™ Performance Fabric: Features a high-tenacity material on the posterior panel that provides "Zero-Friction" airflow, significantly reducing the risk of skin irritation and heat buildup in the popliteal fold.
• DROM (Dynamic Range of Motion) Hinges: Provides "Zero-Friction" mechanical guidance with adjustable stops, allowing for precise control over the knee's range of motion to protect healing ligaments.
• Molded Strap Tabs: Specifically engineered for a "Zero-Friction" adjustment process, allowing the patient to easily secure the brace with consistent, high-integrity circumferential tension.
• Versatile Configuration Options: Available in breathable Spacer fabric or classic Neoprene, in both sleeve and wraparound styles, to ensure a "Zero-Friction" personalized fit for every patient’s lifestyle and climate.

The Clinical Authority: Why Professionals Trust the Playmaker II

Orthopedic specialists and Sports Medicine Practitioners specify the DonJoy Playmaker II for its "structural-integrity" stabilization. Its "Zero-Friction" environment is the gold standard for managing mild-to-moderate ACL, MCL, and LCL sprains where a custom-fit brace is not yet indicated but high-level protection is mandatory. By providing a rigid external anchor to the femur and tibia, the brace effectively offloads the cruciate and collateral ligaments. This targeted approach is highly effective for post-operative recovery and preventing re-injury during the transition back to high-demand functional movement.

FAQ: Stabilization & Configuration

What is the difference between "Spacer" and "Neoprene"?
The "Zero-Friction" Spacer material is highly breathable and ideal for warm climates, while Neoprene provides therapeutic heat retention for patients who find warmth soothing for joint stiffness.

Should I choose the Sleeve or the Wrap?
The Sleeve provides a more consistent "Zero-Friction" compression fit, while the Wrap is much easier to apply for patients with localized swelling or those who find it difficult to pull a brace up over the foot.

Does it fit either leg?
Yes. The anatomical design is universal, providing a "Zero-Friction" clinical fit for both the Left and Right knee.

Specifications & Sizing Table

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