Bauerfeind GenuTrain Comfort Knee

Note: There is an updated version of the Bauerfeind GenuTrain Comfort >

Features

• Five additional comfort sizes of the GenuTrain with increased thigh dimensions. They are particularly suitable for patients with a conical leg shape.
• Omega pad: An integrated, ring-shaped visco-elastic pad surrounds the patella with two pressure points on the distal section of the pad and two lateral wings at the level of the menisci.
• Knitted fabric concept: A highly elastic, breathable and moisture wicking for excellent wearing comfort.
• An especially soft knit fabric for the popliteal area.
• Anatomically knit for optimum fit and highly secure positioning.
• Compression-reduced edges divert pressure at the ends of the support
• Integrated donning aid makes the support easier to put on
• Lateral and medial zinc-coated steel wire stays
• The same design for the right and left sides.

INDICATIONS

• Irritation (Tendomyopathy, ligament insertion degeneration, meniscopathy, osteoarthritis, arthritis, and chronic, post-traumatic or post-operative treatment)
• Tendency toward instability
• Relapsing joint effusion(swelling)

MODE OF ACTION

• The Omega pad redistributes compression away from the patella to the surrounding soft tissues.
• Knee joint movement massages the parapatellar soft tissue structures through the formed padded ring.
• The compression and massage effects accelerate the reabsorption of edema and effusions and help relieve pain.
• The pressure points of the Omega pad exert pressure on the infrapatellar fat pad. They reduce pressure and alleviate pain in the retropatellar area.
• The lateral wings of the Omega pad reach the front parts of the meniscus and reduce pain by exerting intermittent compression.
• Complex stimulation of the proprioceptors by the support has a positive effect on the sensorimotor system and thus on muscle control.

AVAILABLE AS CUSTOM MADE PRODUCT

• GenuTrain can be ordered as a truly custom made-to-measure product.
• Made in Germany with the same high quality knit fabric and materials.
• Custom-made for patients who cannot be given an optimal fit with standard sizes. Perfect if you have pronounced thigh or calf muscles, or a leg that’s taller or shorter
• The support remains securely in position during movement and the compression knit and the viscoelastic pads can achieve their maximum effect.
