Sizing Guide

The Donjoy Playmaker Xpert is available in seven different sizes to suit most individuals. To determine which size is right for you, measure the circumference of your thigh from around 15cm above the middle of your patella (kneecap). Once you have this measurement, use the table to find your size, then select it from the drop-down at the top of the page.

Please measure 15cm above the centre of the kneecap

Our Sizing Tips

• If you're on the boundary between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for greater comfort
• This brace is meant to be compressive and will feel tight as a result; if you would prefer less tightness, please choose a larger size
• If you do not own a flexible tape measure, wrap a piece of string around your thigh, then measure the string with a ruler
• Please take into account any joint swelling before buying, as this could mean you need a larger size

Stabilises and Tracks the Patella

Fitted with removable polycentric hinges and an anatomical patella "doughnut", the Donjoy Playmaker Xpert pulls no punches when it comes to patella support. The hinges work together with the open patella to stabilise the kneecap and improve tracking during motion. If desired, the hinges can be removed for less restriction when necessary.

Summer-Ready Breathability

One drawback that comes with any knee support is the stuffy discomfort that can often be felt after long periods of wear. In answer to this common problem, the Donjoy Playmaker is built with intensely breathable nylon fabric that provides a cooling sensation on the skin, making it the ideal knee brace for summer.

Adjustable Straps

The Donjoy Playmaker Xpert features two compression straps: one above and one below the kneecap. These straps allow you to adjust the level of tightness and compression as you see fit, enabling you to tailor treatment based on your doctor's recommendation, or on your own preferences for comfort.

How Do I Fit the Donjoy Playmaker Knee Support?

Fitting the Donjoy Playmaker Knee Brace is quick and easy, just follow these simple steps.

1. Wrap the kneepad around the knee and close the fabric at the front of the brace
2. Position the brace so that the joints are parallel and the open-patella is over the kneecap
3. Fasten the thigh and calf straps
