Bauerfeind GenuTrain P3 Knee

Features AND MODES OF ACTION

• Knitted fabric concept: very elastic, breathable and moisture-wicking for excellent wearing comfort, especially behind the knee.
• A special fabric weave that is gentle on the skin covers the critical popliteal area.
• The integrated corrective strap secures the patella in its proper position, counteracting lateral drifting or twisting. Its unique design allows the corrective effect to be adjusted precisely and individually
• Friction points on the distal pad section provide a gentle massage effect, relieving pressure on Hoffa’s fat pad and reducing pain
• A strategically placed muscle-relaxing pad promotes slight relaxation of the iliotibial tract, minimizing lateral pull on the patella
• The anatomical pad wings extend proximally to the joint-stabilizing vastus medialis muscle, improving proprioception and knee stability
• Medically effective compression and alternating pressure massage during movement accelerate the resorption of edema and effusions
• The brace can be put on and taken off with minimal effort thanks to the ergonomically shaped, rigid plastic stays with integrated donning aids
• GenuTrain P3 stands for permanent patella protection
