OverviewMaterial science and ergonomic design combine to deliver a lightweight knee unloading brace for patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. The malleable magnesium and aluminium frame allows anatomical adjustment for a close fit while providing mechanical strength to off‑load the affected compartment. OA Nano™ is intended to support patient activity and improve adherence by offering comfortable, non‑invasive symptom relief derived from performance bracing technologies.
IndicationIndicated for mild to moderate unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis. PDAC Assigned Codes: L1845 and L1852.
90 Day Test Drive and Ease of UseDonJoy offers a 90‑day Test Drive to confirm fit and patient satisfaction. Proper fitting is critical to avoid slipping, pressure points or skin issues; correctly sized OA braces aim to reduce pain and improve function.
Features & Benefits- Custom fit — Malleable magnesium frame enables cuff molding for an intimate, patient‑specific fit.
- Ultra lightweight — Design and materials minimize device weight (approx. 402 g) for increased wearability.
- Secure suspension — Contoured cuff geometry reduces migration during daily activities.
- Mechanical off‑loading — Frame architecture provides reliable off‑load of the affected compartment.
- Controlled adjustment — DonJoy Adjuster™ technology allows precise varus/valgus correction to shift load away from the damaged area.

EducationPrevalence- Approximately 27 million U.S. adults age 25 and older have osteoarthritis; prevalence increases with age.
- Up to one in two people may develop symptomatic knee OA by age 85.
- Doctor‑diagnosed arthritis prevalence is projected to grow through 2030.
Signs / Symptoms- Joint pain, tenderness, stiffness or locking
- Swelling and reduced range of motion
- Periarticular weakness, crepitus during movement
Causes & Risk Factors- Aging and wear, prior joint injury, genetic/metabolic factors, repetitive overuse, obesity, physical inactivity
