Overview

Fource Point technology improves upon DonJoy's already legendary 4-Point Leverage Dynamic System design. This brace provides graduated, increasing resistance during the last 35 degrees of leg extension (i.e., when you straighten your leg). In turn, this reduces the extension shock delivered to your knee (e.g., when landing from a jump), thus protecting your cruciate ligaments. This unique hinge design has three adjustment settings so that you can vary the amount of resistance delivered in extension to meet your needs, comfort and/or your physician's recommendations.

This brace is made-to-order for JointHealing.com customers, and is one of the safest braces you can find. It protects the ACL, PCL and the collateral ligaments. We are the only web site advocating the Fource Point brace, along with the combined instability feature. DonJoy makes this brace at our request, just for you.

Made for us with tough athletes in mind: football players in particular will benefit from this brace, but motocross racers and skiers will also appreciate the protection it offers. However, any athlete who demands top flight performance will appreciate the features of this brace.

The DonJoy Fource Point Combined Instability Knee Brace was designed for mild to severe ACL, PCL, and collateral ligament instabilities for persons of all athletic skill levels – from sedentary to professional athlete. It is recommended for all forms of contact sports.

FAQ

1. Why is this brace a special, custom order? DonJoy makes the Fource Point Knee Brace, which protects the ACL. However, in our experience, it's better to protect not only the ACL, but also the PCL and collateral ligaments by adding the combined instability protection to the Fource Point Knee Brace. When your knee is exposed to high impact sports or sports that generate high forces, this combined instability (CI) feature is worth the short wait of the special order. With this custom order brace, expect 10 to 14 days for the brace to be made, then three to four additional days for standard shipping.
2. Which brace — ACL, PCL, or CI — do you stock? We currently only special order the CI version of this brace; that means that it is useful for both ACL and PCL instabilities (in addition to MCL, LCL). We feel this will provide people the absolute most support from their brace. If for some reason, you only want an ACL only version, please e-mail us at customerservice@jointhealing.com, or call 800-390-1114, and we can special order the version you want at no additional cost. Please note, that the pictures on this site are of the ACL version; the CI version just has a couple extra straps to provide added stability.
3. How is the Fource Point CI different from the eXtreme Armor Action or Legend knee braces? The DonJoy eXtreme Armor Action Knee Brace was previously the top-of-the-line knee brace we sold here at JointHealing.com (don't worry, it's still an excellent brace and we will continue to carry it). The DonJoy Fource Point CI Knee Brace has taken over that position; it is now the top-of-the-line stability knee brace that we sell. The Armor brace does an amazing job protecting the knee. However, the new Fource Point technology of the Fource Point CI does an even better job by providing an increasing resistance in the last 35 degrees of leg extension (straightening your leg) to reduce the shock and loads to your knee and ligaments. Not only that, but you can vary the amount of resistance for a customized fit to meet your needs and your doctor's recommendations. We think that's fantastic! The DonJoy Legend Knee Brace was the top-of-the-line brace prior to the Armor, so although it's still a great brace and we'll continue to carry it as well, it's less stiff and therefore provides a bit less support. The Legend also does not provide the increased resistance during leg extension that the Fource Point CI offers. So the Fource Point CI provides the maximum protection, followed by the eXtreme Armor Action, then the Legend.
4. Do you have accessories for this brace? Yes, we carry the black lycra undergarment that fits this brace. DonJoy also offers a patella cup, full extension stop, and sports cover for this brace. We can special order these accessories along with your brace if you would like, please e-mail us at customerservice@jointhealing.com, or call 800-390-1114.
5. Why should I buy from you? Sometimes our customers are able to find a price that's a little lower than ours. But don't be fooled by marketing gimmicks! We have seen some other stores that will occasionally have lower advertised prices than us, but if you look at their shipping charges, you will see that not only are their shipping charges much higher than ours, but that it may take weeks for your brace to arrive. We constantly scour the internet to make sure our products are the least expensive anywhere. If you are an American shopper, be sure to watch out for companies not located in the United States - if there is a problem, the credit card laws (that protect you, the consumer) that apply here in the U.S. may not apply to them.
