Bauerfeind GenuTrain P3 Patella Knee Support - Right Knee Size 4 - Titanium

This knee support features two integrated massage pads along with an adjustable corrective strap, ensuring that the kneecap is securely maintained in a natural, centered position. This design not only activates the surrounding musculature but also accelerates the healing process. The uniquely shaped massage pad, equipped with high sides and inward-facing silicone dots, provides pain-relieving compression targeted at Hoffa's fat pad to keep the kneecap properly aligned.

The adjustable corrective strap is instrumental in preventing the kneecap from shifting sideways; it can be tightened according to the level of load being applied. Additionally, a second wedge-shaped massage pad located at the upper outer edge alleviates pressure on the tendons attached to the kneecap, helping to reduce any outward pull. This configuration offers vital relief to the kneecap and supports its natural movement.

The compressive knit fabric and the two massage pads work together to create a soothing massage effect during physical activity, which helps accelerate the reduction of swelling and actively engages the muscles that stabilize the joint. Furthermore, the knee support enhances proprioception, thereby increasing sensory awareness in the knee, which contributes to improved joint stabilization.

Innovative trapezoidal stitching within the popliteal region is designed to prevent bunching and pinching, while the anatomical knit, featuring graduated compression at the edges, ensures proper circulation without restricting movement or causing rolling. Medial and lateral stays are incorporated to prevent the support from migrating out of place. Constructed from a lightweight and breathable knit material, this knee support does not retain heat and is entirely machine washable.

This product is intended to assist in the treatment and prevention of various knee conditions, including patellofemoral pain syndrome (chondropathy, chondromalacia), patellar tip syndrome (patellar tendonitis), lateralization of the patella (dislocation tendency), high-riding patella (patella alta), feelings of instability, and post-lateral release surgery recovery.

The innovative design, known as P3, stands for "permanent patella protection." This distinctive buttress effectively secures the patella during both bending and straightening movements of the knee, thereby promoting improved tracking.

The patella knee brace is specifically tailored to conform to the shape of the knee and includes a rubberized insert that surrounds the patella. An integrated tracking feature guarantees proper alignment and support, ensuring that the kneecap remains correctly positioned while providing the necessary compression to alleviate swelling.

Crafted from lightweight and breathable fabric, the brace is also easy to care for and can be machine washed on a cold cycle.

To ensure a proper fit and sizing, follow these steps: A) Begin measuring from the outside of your knee, moving up your thigh by 6.75 inches to find the loose circumference at that point. B) Similarly, starting at the outside of your knee, measure down your calf 6 inches to ascertain the loose circumference at that location. Visual references are available for clarity.
