DonJoy, 11-1441-3, Armor ACL Metallic Black Short M Left Knee Brace with FourcePoint Hinge
Features:
- Four Points of Leverage Dynamic System: This patented technology was developed to reduce the strain on the ACL by distributing the load placed on the ligament via four points.
- FourcePoint Hinge Technology (Stop kit not included): Reduces the amount of time your knee is in an "at risk position", enhances the Four Points of Leverage by increasing the posterior load applied by the brace on the tibia, and improves your natural gait by applying progressive resistance before reaching a firm endpoint during movement. DonJoy has taken hinge design and ACL protection to another level with its patented FourcePoint technology. Note: The Ski Hinge is soon to be discontinued. The Armor Hinge offers the same protection. Select a short calf length if used for skiing or snowboarding.

The low-profile hinge reduces the need for the deflector while still protecting ACL, MCL, LCL, or Meniscus instabilities, which prevents the hinge from "getting hooked" with other braces or knees. Designed with internal strap tabs to reduce the risk of the tabs breaking and delivers comfort and security when in motion.
