Bauerfeind GenuTrain P3 Knee Support for Patella Misalignment - Right Knee, Size 3, Black

This knee support features two integrated massage pads and an adjustable corrective strap, designed to maintain the kneecap in a secure, natural position. This stabilization activates the surrounding musculature, helping to accelerate the healing process. A specially crafted massage pad with elevated sides and inward-facing silicone dots is employed to center the kneecap. This design provides targeted, pain-relieving compression to Hoffa's fat pad.

To prevent the kneecap from shifting sideways, the adjustable corrective strap can be tightened according to various loading situations. Additionally, a second wedge-shaped massage pad located at the upper outer edge alleviates tension on the tendons associated with the kneecap, effectively reducing outward pulling. This alleviation offers relief for the kneecap while supporting its natural movement.

The compressive knit of this support, combined with both massage pads, delivers a soothing massage effect during movement, which aids in quicker swelling reduction and activates the stabilizing muscles of the joint. Furthermore, the design promotes enhanced proprioception, increasing sensory awareness in the knee for improved joint stability. An innovative trapezoidal stitch in the popliteal area prevents bunching and pinching, while the anatomical knit with graduated compression at the edges guards against circulation constriction and rolling. Designed with medial/lateral stays, the support also prevents migration during activity.

Constructed from a lightweight, breathable knit fabric, this knee support is designed to avoid heat retention and is completely machine washable. It is especially useful for treating and preventing various conditions, including patellofemoral pain syndrome (such as chondropathy and chondromalacia), patellar tip syndrome (patellar tendonitis), lateralization of the patella (dislocation tendencies), high-riding patella (patella alta), feelings of instability, and post-lateral release surgery recovery.

The P3 designation denotes "permanent patella protection." This innovative buttress captures the patella during knee flexion and extension, ensuring improved tracking. The patella knee brace is specifically stitched to conform to the knee's shape, incorporating a rubberized insert that envelops the kneecap. An integrated tracking feature guarantees correct alignment, providing compression to alleviate swelling.

In terms of comfort, the support is made from a lightweight and breathable fabric, which can be conveniently washed on a cold cycle. To ensure the correct fit and sizing, follow these steps: A) Begin at the outer edge of your knee and measure upward along your thigh for 6.75 inches, then find the loose circumference at that point. B) Start at the outer edge of your knee and measure downward along your calf for 6 inches, then locate the loose circumference there. Refer to the accompanying image for visual guidance.
