Short Description
Donjoy's OA Adjuster™ 3 provides lightweight offloading for osteoarthritis; Nano MAG reinforced with a tough aluminum for durability.
The improved DonJoy OA Adjuster™ 3 Knee Brace is powered by nano MAG and reinforced with a tough aluminum frame making it the most durable and functional DonJoy OA arthritis knee brace. The combination of the durability of aluminum and leveraging the strength of nano MAG make it lightweight and tough. DonJoy's Adjuster Technology offloads a little - or a lot - and nano MAG Technology on the offloading side provides lightweight function with the strength of aircraft-grade aluminum. Floating hinges allow a contoured, personalized fit for all levels of activity. The significant weight reduction, internally mounted strap tabs, and the contoured calf cuff design all help the Donjoy OA Adjuster 3 stay in place while providing effective relief for moderate to severe unicompartmental osteoarthritis.
