Product Overview
The DonJoy Tru-Pull Lite Knee Brace is designed to address patella tracking issues. The most common of these issues is patellar tracking disorder.
When this disorder is present in patients, the kneecap frequently slides out of place and causes mild to severe pain. The kneecap typically shifts either to the left or right of its proper alignment.
Bracing is an excellent treatment for patellar tracking disorder. It also helps relieve mild to moderate knee pain. The support it provides is perfect for patients with lateral subluxation and patellofemoral dysfunction.
The low-profile design of the DonJoy Tru-Pull Lite is perfect for people who need extra knee support during daily activities such as working, going to school, or running errands.
If you have mild to moderate patella instabilities, you know that a dislocation can ruin your entire day. Worse, it can cause more serious knee injuries if not treated properly.
The Tru-Pull Lite's two-pronged strap velcros closed both above and below the kneecap. This pressure of the straps eases the patella into proper alignment and reduces pain from patellar tracking disorder.
The brace also features a unique support pad. The pad sits against the side of the patella and provides a soft, but tacky connection with the skin. This provides additional patellar support and ensures maximum comfort.
We designed the Tru-Pull Lite to be a short, low-profile, and comfortable brace.
The straps above and below the kneecap velcro into place independently. They put a consistent and true pull on the kneecap during movement. If the patella starts to shift out of place, the pull of the straps realigns it.
Properly aligning the kneecap seriously reduces the pain that comes from patellofemoral problems like dislocating your kneecap. This is particularly useful for athletes like runners who need to be able to push through knee issues.
The DonJoy Tru-Pull Lite knee brace is designed to stay in place. It's constructed with independent anchors that prevent the brace from rotating. It also comes with removable plastic hinges that provide additional side-to-side stability.
The fabric of the knee sleeve wicks away sweat. It is lightweight and breathable, making it comfortable for both everyday and athletic use.
The DonJoy Tru-Pull Lite Knee Brace is also eligible for HSA/FSA spend.
Our Tru-Pull Lite knee brace assists people with patella tracking issues. These are the primary patients who should use our hinged knee brace. Since the Tru-Pull Lite is the smallest and lightest of our knee braces, it is also useful as a knee brace for running.
The most common injury among runners is runner’s knee or patellofemoral syndrome. This is a general term that refers to pain in the front of the knee or around the kneecap. This kind of injury is often caused by overuse in sports that involve running or jumping.
The pain associated with runner's knee is typically dull and felt in one or both knees. This pain can range from mild to severe and gets worse during prolonged sitting or exercise. Jumping, climbing stairs, and squatting can also aggravate the injury.
If you are experiencing patellofemoral syndrome, you must provide your knees with extra support using a runner's knee brace. Braces like the Thru-Pull Light are perfect for giving your knee joint the support it needs to heal.
If you are an active runner, you can prevent patellofemoral syndrome by wearing knee sleeves while you train. It is also important to stretch properly before running and take time to let your knee joints get stronger.
Your muscular tissue develops faster than your joint tissue. That's why when beginning a new workout program or increasing the intensity of your current one, you should give your joints time to catch up with your muscles.
Patients healing from an ACL tear or other knee injury are also benefited by the use of a knee sleeve. The most important thing to do while you are healing is to provide the joint with as much support as possible. This is especially true for people who have to continue working or training during recovery.
To use the DonJoy Tru-Pull Lite, simply slide the knee brace onto the correct position on your knee. Your kneecap should be visible through the large circular hole.
Next, adjust the straps above and below the kneecap to ensure that the patella maintains proper alignment. Make sure that the support pad sits comfortably against the skin of your knee. If discomfort occurs, readjust the top or bottom strap as necessary.
You can wear the brace with our without its nylon hinges. The hinges provide extra support when needed, but you can also wear the brace without them for extra mobility.
The Tru-Pull Lite is lightweight and comfortable for all-day use. It merges this comfort with providing maximum patella support.
Knee braces are worn directly on the skin, which makes frequent cleaning important. To clean your brace, use a clean washcloth and mild, soapy water on the side that sits next to the skin.
Extract and wash any removable pads, hinges, or accessories with mild detergent. Rinse them thoroughly and let them air dry. Use saddle soap on any leather piece.
Make sure that the brace is completely dry and that all soap residue has been washed away before putting it back on. If your brace isn't drying fast enough, use a hairdryer on the cool setting to speed along the drying process.
If the brace is exposed to saltwater, wash and rinse it thoroughly. Double-check the entire brace for any residue that can linger inside and cause irritation.
Avoid exposing your brace to extreme temperatures. For example, don't leave it inside a closed car on a hot or sunny day. Exposure to extreme temperatures can shorten the lifespan of your brace.
Check your brace occasionally for signs of wear. If you think that it needs repairs, contact us and let us know.
One of the benefits of knee braces is that they come in many different styles to treat many different types of injuries.
If you have an MCL or LCL injury, knee pain due to mild OA, previous meniscus tear, contusions, or patella instability, the DonJoy Economy Hinged Knee may be a better option for you.
This brace provides more coverage of the leg and delivers light support to the knee. It is ideal for daily activities, twisting, and side-to-side movements.
The brace is designed with flexible padded hinges, which makes it ideal for people who don't want to wear a rigid brace. It's also good for athletes who participate in sports like wrestling, rugby, or youth soccer and aren't allowed to wear a knee brace.
The Economy Hinged Knee protects ligaments from re-injury, reduces swelling due to injury, eases pain associated with ligament instabilities, and helps prevent further injury when participating in sports. It's best for the protection and prevention of MCL/LCL ligament injuries and instabilities.
The brace can be used during day-to-day activities like work, errands, and walking. It is also ideal for sports that require a lot of movements like football, volleyball, cheerleading, soccer, and tennis.
The DonJoy Playmaker II knee brace provides maximum coverage and support. It extends to the top of the thigh and middle of the calf.
This brace has durable external hinges that support the entire knee and leg. It is ideal for relief from ACL, MCL, and LCL injuries, as well as meniscus injuries and hyperextended knees.
It is best for sports like basketball, baseball, and soccer, which all require a significant amount of running. The brace is comfortable enough to wear all day but is typically used only during athletic training or events.
One of our most popular accessories is the DonJoy Cotton/Lycra Undersleeve.
The undersleeve is worn beneath the knee brace. This prevents any irritation or chafing that might occur.
It's also a great choice for athletes that are wearing their knee brace frequently. The undersleeve keeps the interior of your knee brace clean so you don't have to worry about washing it as often.
Our DonJoy Sports Brace Cover is another great accessory. It's the perfect way to cover your knee brace to protect yourself and others during team sports. It also keeps your knee warmer and prevented the hinges from collecting dirt and debris.
How much does the Donjoy Tru-Pull Lite cost?
The Tru-Pull Lite usually costs around $160.00. However, we are frequently running sales and promotions that lower the price between 10% and 50%. You can also pay in interest-free instalments via ShopPay.
Is this brace HSA/FSA approved?
Yes, all of our braces are HSA and FSA approved.
Does the Tru-Pull Lite stay in place?
The independent top and bottom straps allow for customized adjustments that help the brace stay in place. Ensure that the support pad sits comfortably against your skin and that the straps are snug but not too tight.
During what activities should you wear the brace?
The Tru-Pull Lite is best for sports that require intense cardio such as running or cycling. It is also light and comfortable enough to wear while working or running errands.

Family and small business...
We are a small, but mighty staff...
When you can work with your family it blurs the line between having fun and work. Eve (7) is our consummate helper with small boxes. Henson (9) loves to measure boxes, stack them, and occasionally build forts. Jordan is the analyzer and numbers guy. I am an attorney by training, photography lover by choice and all around level-headed problem fixer.
Stacy is a true gem of a human being! If 1000 people where in a room, Stacy would be the #1 most calm under pressure and is also one of the most patient persons you will ever meet. Our customers love the help they receive from Stacy and our customer service reviews show it!
Mary Grace is our absolute all-star at OrthoBracing.com! Customers love her, she has an amazing Spotify play list and she brings lots of laughter (and the occasional British accent) to the office. We are so lucky to have her work alongside us as this business serves more and more people.
I purchased this for use after my knee replacement surgery, and it has been a godsend. It is easy to fill and carry in addition to providing comfort and pain relief while using. It is a definite MUST so don't hesitate to purchase.
Love it! I like the adjustable wraps to hold it in place.
Ordered Fusion to replace a worn out Freestyle brace. The Fusion is substantially more durable and the velcro straps are replaceable, which is a plus because the velcro straps on the Freestyle are worn out and no longer hold. Fit wise the Fusion is fairly adjustable and provides more rigid bracing than the Freestyle. Do not have to adjust the Fusion as much as the Freestyle to acheive the same relief for medial OA. If this one ever wears out, I’ll definitely be replacing it w/ another.
Am using it for my second knee replacement. I knew it would work because I borrowed an ice machine for my last operation. That machine no longer works, so I decided to buy this one. Definitely a necessity as I do not take any kind of drugs. A very positive purchase which I will loan to friends and family.
I ordered this device right before I had rotator cuff surgery. I didn't know what I needed so I waited to the last minute. To my surprise it came in the day before my surgery and has worked perfectly! Thank you so much for the fast, friendly service!
This has been a God-send in relieving the pain after knee replacement surgery. I don’t like strong pain meds so acetaminophen and cold therapy manages perfectly.
GREAT customer service from Stacey when I inquired about purchasing a system for upcoming hip replacement surgery. Stacey was SUPER helpful in explaining plus made sure I received everything I needed prior to surgery. I HIGHLY recommend this product. I purchased the Kodiak, Intelli-flo hip pad as well as the Intelli-flo knee pad. I'm likely needing knee replacement soon, so am prepared now. It worked beautifully in recovering from hip surgery.
Due to being a kidney transplant patient, I have more difficulty with distal swelling in both legs, so post full knee replacement found me a bit behind the power curve, as they say, with a smaller ice machine (also purchased from Ortho Bracing and we still use it as a back-up, a great value on the DonJoy machine!). I noticed that the ice packs provided by the hospital were Breg, so came back to Ortho Bracing and found this dynamic Breg unit that combined a much larger leg pad with adjustable cooling and compression, a true "win-win" for me! The medical-grade machine at PT was quite painful, but therapists insisted that I needed this type of treatment, and the Breg unit allows me to do home treatment with wonderful results - dramatically reduced bruising, pain, and swelling. Thanks for the extremely fast shipping and fantastic customer service, and for a cooling therapy machine that got me through my 1st post-op consultation with flying colors. My orthopedic surgeon was very pleased to see that we'd gotten the Breg, and my PT wanted full contact information for Ortho Bracing after seeing how well the system was working for my home use! And, the ice bags work beautifully with absolutely no leakage, even though I carry them back and forth from the kitchen to the bedroom or living room for application.
Glad not to have to get ice every day. These bags are great! Last a long time.
This is the second one I have had. Works great. Have used for myself after many surgeries and shared with family for several more. Suggest running a mild bleach solution thru lines/cooling pads before you put them away if you do not have chlorinated city water to prevent mold/mildew in the lines that can clog it up. I think that’s what happened to my first one. Great device and was the best deal from Orthobracing.com.
I have been suffering from neck pain for a while. But before visiting a doctor I decided to give this a try. And it worked. This traction device, used carefully, was able to relieve a good deal of pain and restore mobility. I will still see a doctor but with a much more relaxed state of mind.
Ice bags are working great, as advertised…..So much easier than having to continually buy bags of ice.
I had an issue with my first order and customer service was fantastic!!! They immediately sent replacements, which I received in 2 days. Will definitely order from them again, if the need ever arises!!
My husband had a total shoulder revision. He is not a fan of ice packs that he has used in the past. His Dr recommended an iceman machine which we never heard of so thought we would purchase one. It has been a blessing. My husband actually wants it on his shoulder. The coldness takes away a lot of the burning he has. We are only on day 2 1/2 of using it. We have heard nothing but good things on the iceman machine. We would highly recommend it to any one getting surgery. Thank you so much
Easy to set up and use, and my husband loves the pain control pre-surgery! We use small water bottles that we freeze and then use instead of ice, the system retains the cold water for hours, making repeated cold therapy simple and effective!
Outstanding customer service! The cool compression machine works very well. My surgeon explained that icing with compression heals you much faster than just ice alone. I even purchased a pad for my back; haven't used it yet. Only problem is the difficulty putting on the shoulder pad if you are not large (or mansize). Poor directions from manufacturer on how to apply. Orthobracing had to email me a "Youtube" video because the directions are only printed with pictures on the pad itself. The manufacturer should definitely make a smaller sized women's shoulder pad, or send more velcro straps to help adjust shoulder pad so it doesn't slip off. The ice bags it comes with leak easily; I purchased the large cubes as insurance from another less expensive site.
Easiest way is with the bags though, so when I called them to tell them some were leaking, they shipped me another set of bags immediately.
Really impressed with the customer service! They couldn't be nicer or more helpful.
They realize that we're buying the unit because we're in a lot of pain and need quick relief. I realized that when using the machine I'm in less pain, therefore requiring Less Painkillers! Great machine for at home use without having to pay almost the same price just to rent a more expensive machine. So; differences are; you may pay more to buy this, but you OWN it and the clock isn't ticking. If your surgery was more involved causing a longer recovery time (like mine). Other difference is that you do have to change the ice bags/cubes every six hours, rental has freon so no changing ice bags. Not too messy. I have a metal mixing bowl next to it to put the top in while changing cubes/bags.
I highly recommend the product, and especially this company to purchase it from. Feel better everyone! :)
