Even mild ligament strains can bring activity levels to a halt. The Donjoy Playmaker II Knee Brace provides the stability needed and comfort required to empower movement. The Playmaker II issues three points of leverage to protect the hyperextended knee ACL, MCL, and LCL ligament injuries.
The Donjoy Playmaker II is enhanced with Hi10™ high tenacity nylon/spandex fabric that offers unmatched comfort and a great fit. Spacer material has been incorporated into the front for greater breathability while nylon/spandex material in the rear reduces bunching and improves airflow for a "cool" comfortable environment. Molded, rubberized strap tabs have been added for easier fitting adjustments.

Daughter is using for a basketball injury
My daughter plays basketball and the doctor recommended this brace for her knee after she sprained it. She says it breathes well and doesn't get hot while she's on the court. The side bars provide her with the stability she needs when she cuts or pivots. Plus, the donut helps the discomfort that she feels occasionally around her kneecap.

Fits our big boy
We got the wraparound style to fit our son'e larger size thigh. He says it supports his knee and helps relieve the pain on the basketball court.

Solid brace
This brace seems solid in general! The only complaint I have is that I couldn’t figure a way to have the lower thigh strap only around the back as in an ACL configuration. I also wish there was a popliteal cutout as it does cause some resistance with knee flexión. Overall happy with the structure and functionality of the brace though.
Excellent Brace And Customer Service
My shipment was delayed due to weather without any updates from FedEx. DME customer service contacted FedEx and was able to have it delivered the very next day. Awesome service.
Great ACL/PCL Brace - Great Service
I severed my ACL/PCL 18 months ago. I have no ligaments behind my left knee. After 4 months of rehab, Doc wanted a stiff plastic brace but it bit into my thigh. Brace man recommended this Playmaker II wraparound. Provides support, gives me confidence, and easy on/off. I will always need a cane or walker but at 77 it’s too late for reconstructive surgery. I would recommend buying this or any brace from DME -direct. Knowledgeable, courteous, and efficient . A far better choice than Amazon. The Playmaker from Amazon was defective and had to send it back.
Great brace, great customer service
I tore my ACL and I don't have traditional insurance. The brace the doctor wanted me to use through his office was $1,200. The physician assistant knew that I would be able to get it for less somewhere else. We looked on Amazon but the soonest I could get it was a week away. I really didn't want to wait that long. I contacted the distributor and it was still $650. and it would have still been a week. My daughter found DME-Direct online and we were able to order it on Friday and it came first thing Monday morning. The brace is comfortable and supportive and has really made a positive difference in what is going to be a very slow recovery. Thank you to DME-Direct for supplying me with this wonderful brace!
True To Size
True to size. Fits very snug. Very good protection for my MCL sprain. Thanks.
Don't Get Spacer For Football - Just Neoprene
I made the mistake originally of getting the Spacer material for football - doesn't hold up and tears way too easily. I ended up getting it replaced with the neoprene style and it's holding up way better!
Good Basketball Knee Brace
I sprained my ACL about 6 months ago and decided on this brace to help protect my knee when I play pickup games. I have been using the Spacer version and it's been very supportive. It doesn't hamper my crossovers and I can still play and quickly move without as much discomfort.
Neoprene Version Has Better Donut
I originally got the spacer mesh version but needed to exchange it for the neoprene because the neoprene with the donut provided a little better support in the front for my kneecap. DME-Direct made the exchange easily - great doing business. Good customer service.
