Our Sizing Tips
- For measurements that fall between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for a greater level of comfort
- The 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 have a flexible tape measure, take your measurements with a piece of string, then measure the string with a ruler
- If your joints swell, please take this into account when choosing your size

How Do I Use the Donjoy Stabilax Knee Support?
The Donjoy Stabilax is designed for easy use. The brace has an anatomical 3D knit design that makes it easy to position correctly over the knee. Made with elastic material, the support will slip over your leg with ease and will stretch to achieve an ergonomic fit. Adjust the straps to suit your preference: tighter for more compression or looser for greater mobility.
Please note that the size of the straps may vary depending on the size of the product.
How Do I Adjust the Level of Compression?
To increase the level of pressure placed on your knee, tighten the two provided straps at the thigh and lower leg. The tighter the fit, the more force is absorbed, meaning less strain on the knee. As your knee recovers, you can then loosen the straps or remove the hinges entirely to improve mobility while maintaining support.
Stabilising Hinges for Added Compression
Featuring two semi-rigid polycentric hinges, the Donjoy Stabilax holds the knee in a stable position while providing extra compression. The hinges help restrict the range of motion and take on more of your weight as you move. This causes less strain on the knee, giving it a better chance of recovery.
Anatomically Contoured Knee Pad
Providing extra pain relief, the Donjoy Stabilax features a padded ring that's positioned around the patella. This pad stabilises the fragile kneecap and massages the area with small stimulating nubs to promote blood flow and reduce pain.
Breathable Design
Made with soft-knit breathable fibres, the Donjoy Stabilax is nice and comfy to wear. When you're not strapped in too tight, the elastic design of the brace allows for unrestricted movement while still providing a high level of support.
Allergy Friendly
The material of the Donjoy Knee Support is latex and PVC-free to prevent your body from reacting badly to the support, meaning you won't end up with any irritating rashes forming on your leg.
