Confidence starts with one number.The world’s first custom-made titanium ligament knee brace. Packed with innovative features and clinically proven technologies, the A22 is DonJoy’s newest premium rigid ligament knee brace. Custom Made.
The individually adapted A22 knee brace was developed for those who need a custom knee brace, but who do not need quite the same support as the Defiance. The result is an extremely light and thin, yet strong brace with an appealing design. The brace comes together with the dynamic ForcePoint hinge that springs the knee back from full extension and keeping you out of the danger zone.

User GuideHow to Put On DonJoy A22 Knee Brace
- Sit down & undo straps #1-4, leave #5 done up.
- Step through the brace.
- With your knee bent 30-45 degrees & foot resting on the floor, align the centre of the hinge with the top of your knee cap.
- Then do up straps in order from #1-4.
- Tighten strap #5 (back of calf). This strap can stay done up when you take the brace on and off in the future.
Tips for Success
Proper Positioning From the Start
To avoid gaps around the hinges, ensure comfort and most importantly proper function and protection. Ensure you start with the middle of the hinge aligned with the top of your knee cap- a common mistake is starting with the brace too low on the knee. Once aligned, ensure the brace is pushed back so the hinges hug your knee and are not sitting too far forward.
Avoid Slippage
Wear your brace against your skin when possible. When worn over clothing, the brace can be pulled down when you bend your knee. The brace can also migrate down if the thigh straps (#2 & #3) are too tight. When you move, the brace can end up pistoning down your leg.
Ease Into Wearing It
Red and irritated skin can be signs of wearing your brace too much, too soon. Typically it takes about 1-2 weeks for your knee to get used to the brace.
Cleaning Tips
After regular use your brace, particularly the soft pads and straps, will get dirty from sweat and oils on our skin.
