Female Fource - Custom
 
Ideal Application
Females are 3-8 times more likely to sustain an ACL tear than males. In addition, over 70 percent of all ACL injuries occur during non-contact activities, such as cutting, jumping and twisting maneuvers. The DonJoy Female Fource addresses biomechanical factors that have been implicated in the high incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears in females. Females tend to perform cutting and landing maneuvers with their knees and hips in an extended and less protected position. The Female Fource incorporates DJO's FourcePoint hinge technology, which has been clinically demonstrated to increase knee flexion angles, limiting the time the knee spends in at-risk positions during activity; therefore, providing females the protection they need.

The Female Fource is the first functional knee brace to come with a custom graphics sticker sheet to allow patients to personalize their braces to their own liking. In addition, with nearly 212,000 females being diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 40,000 losing their life from the disease in 2005, DonJoy will be contributing to breast cancer initiatives.

The Custom Defiance III and Defiance Female Fource is DonJoy's premier knee brace for females. Combining the ultimate in technology, materials and design, this lightweight brace provides optimal support for moderate to severe female ACL instabilities, ACL reconstructions, collateral ligament instabilities, hyperextension and for prophylactic use. The low-profile design allows for a comfortable fit under clothing. As the strongest of DonJoy's functional braces, the custom, carbon composite Defiance III and Defiance Female Fource is recommended for high collision sports, its featherweight materials and custom fit also make it the brace of choice for activities of daily living.
