Fortilax
Lateral knee support

Indications

The DonJoy Fortilax knee brace is particularly recommended for improving proprioception and helping to prevent injuries during sporting activities, thanks to its graduated compression and anatomically contoured knit, which stimulate the joint’s sensory receptors. It is an effective solution for athletes seeking light, comfortable support whilst maintaining their performance.

This knee brace is suitable for stabilisation and support in cases of acute or chronic knee injuries, providing tailored support without excessive rigidity, which helps maintain functional mobility whilst protecting the joint. It is also ideal for mild knee osteoarthritis, providing therapeutic compression and warmth which help to reduce joint pain and improve comfort during daily activities and sport. Its exceptionally light weight of 100 grams makes it the ideal choice for prolonged wear without feeling heavy or bulky.

Description

The DonJoy Fortilax knee brace combines advanced textile technology with an ergonomic design to provide effective support whilst ensuring maximum lightness and comfort during all your activities.

High-quality 3D anatomical knit

This knee brace stands out for its high-quality, flexible 3D anatomical knit, which perfectly conforms to the natural contours of the knee thanks to its pre-shaped three-dimensional design. The multi-directional elasticity of the stretch fabric allows the knee brace to adapt to movements in all directions whilst maintaining effective and even compression. This advanced knitting technology ensures a precise fit without creases or excessive pressure points, even during repetitive movements or when the joint is moved through a wide range of motion.

Graduated compression with specific zones

The integrated graduated compression system provides optimal pressure across the entire joint, thereby promoting blood circulation, reducing swelling and improving proprioception. Strategically positioned decompression zones prevent excessive compression on sensitive areas, whilst the patellar relief zone specifically relieves pressure on the kneecap, thereby reducing friction and patellofemoral pain whilst maintaining gentle guidance of the kneecap along its physiological axis.

Optimal comfort and breathability

The soft fabric texture feels pleasant against the skin, minimising the risk of irritation even during prolonged wear. The high-performance breathable fabric effectively wicks away moisture and keeps the skin dry, thereby preventing maceration and discomfort during intense physical activity or in hot weather. This optimal ventilation significantly improves wearing comfort, which is particularly important for sportspeople and active individuals.

Exceptional lightness

Weighing just 100 grams, the DonJoy Fortilax knee brace is one of the lightest in its category, offering protection and support without feeling heavy. This exceptional lightness allows it to be worn all day without fatigue or discomfort, making it suitable for daily use during work, household chores and sporting activities.

Care and versatility

The knee brace is machine-washable at 40°C on a delicate cycle, making it easy to clean regularly to maintain optimal hygiene. It is latex-free, making it suitable for people with sensitivities or allergies. The bilateral design fits either the right or left knee, simplifying use and allowing for alternating use if necessary. Available in 7 sizes (from T1 to T7), it adapts to all body types to ensure an optimal fit and maximum effectiveness.
