Features
- Maximum wearing comfort thanks to reduced pressure on the edges, a non-irritative weave incorporated in the sensitive area behind the knee, and the moisture-regulating properties of the Train knitted fabric
- The viscoelastic insert has friction zones that are covered with nubs – they encompass typical pain areas and important receptor zones of the knee joint
- A patella corrective guide is imbedded in the insert zone
- Two steel wire stays located on the sides retain the shape of the knit
- Easier donning and doffing of the support based on the unique expansion zone in the lower leg area
- Silicone in the top band to prevent the A3 from sliding down
Indications
- Osteoarthritis and arthritis of the knee
- Irritation of soft tissue in the knee joint (chronic, post-traumatic/post-operative irritation, ligament insertion degeneration and tendomyopathy)
- Knee pain with functional instability due to muscular imbalance
- Patellar lateralization
- Recurring joint effusion (swelling)
- Relapse prevention
Mode of Action
- The anatomically contoured pad with friction zones assists with pain reduction
- Activates joint-stabilizing muscles and improves coordination thanks to the stimulation of mechanosensors in the skin and muscle-tendon junction
- An intermittent compression effect during movement promotes the reduction of edema, absorption of effusions, and accelerates the healing process.
How to Measure
Flex knees (30 degrees) and mark the centre of the patella. Measure the circumference of the thigh 14 cm above this point (A) and measure the circumference of the calf 12 cm below this point (B).
