Bauerfeind GenuTrain P3 Patella Knee Support for Misaligned Kneecap - Left Knee, Size 6, Titanium

This knee support features two integral massage pads and an adjustable corrective strap, which holds the kneecap securely in a natural, central position, activating the musculature and thus expediting the healing process. The kneecap is centered using a specially shaped massage pad with high sides and inward-facing silicone dots, exerting pain-relieving compression on Hoffa's fat pad. The adjustable corrective strap helps to protect the kneecap from drifting sideways and can be tightened to various degrees depending on the loading situation. The second wedge-shaped massage pad at the upper outer edge slightly eases the pressure on the tendons connected to the kneecap, minimizing the outward pull, providing relief for the kneecap and support during its natural movement.

The support's compressive knit and two pads exert a pain-relieving massage effect during movement, which helps to reduce swelling more quickly and activates the muscles that stabilize the joint. This promotes proprioception, heightening sensory awareness in the knee for increased joint stabilization. An innovative trapezoidal stitch in the popliteal region prevents bunching and pinching, while the anatomical knit with graduated compression at the edges prevents circulation constriction and rolling. Medial/lateral stay guards against migration. The lightweight, breathable knit will not retain heat and is completely machine washable.

This knee support is designed to help treat and prevent various knee-related conditions, including patellofemoral pain syndrome (chondropathy, chondromalacia), patellar tip syndrome (patellar tendonitis), lateralization of the patella (dislocation tendency), high-riding patella (patella alta), and feelings of instability, as well as providing support after lateral release surgery.

The unique "P3" design, which stands for "permanent patella protection," captures the patella during bending and straightening of the knee for improved tracking. The patella knee brace is stitched specifically to the shape of the knee and incorporates a rubberized insert that surrounds the patella, ensuring proper tracking and support, correct alignment, and providing compression to reduce swelling.

The lightweight and breathable fabric is machine washable, ensuring comfort and ease of care. To ensure a correct fit and sizing, users should measure the circumference of their thigh 6.75 inches above the outside of the knee and the circumference of their calf 6 inches below the outside of the knee.
