Bauerfeind Genutrain Knee brace
Features Active
support for relief and stabilization of the knee Lower
compression at the edges produces a gradual reduction in pressure at both ends of the support. The anatomically contoured
knit isbreathable and stretched by spiral stays on the sides of the support. A circular viscoelastic insert surrounds the patella and facilitates correct positioning of the support.
Special knitting techniques make the support extremely
comfortable to wear, including behind the knee.
Indications Knee strains or sprains - A sudden or violent twist or wrench of a joint causing
the stretching or twisting of ligaments and often rupture of blood vessels with hemorrhage to the tissues. Knee instability Post arthroscopy
Recurrent knee pain Pre and post-operative knee inflammation - A response from an injury that
may be characterized by redness, heat, pain, swelling and loss of function. Chondromalacia - (Runner's Knee)- Aching pain behind the kneecap. Pain begins and progresses
slowly. It appears in healthy, athletically active young people. Adolescent
knee pain Osgood-Schlatter's disease Arthritis / osteoarthritis - Inflammation of joints.  | | GenuTrain® Back View |

Our view
"Probably the best knee brace of it's kind on the market. Superbly designed and manufactured by Bauerfeind."
 | Size is determined by measuring:
Point 1. Circumference at 12cm below the centre of the knee
Point 2. Circumference at 14cm above the centre of the knee
* If your measurements fall on the border, it is recommended that you go up in size.

Bauerfeind Genutrain S Knee brace The active support for complex treatment of knee pain and mild medio/lateral
instability of the knee.
Indications
- Slight instability of the knee
- Collateral ligament
laxity
- Osteoarthritis of the knee
- Arthritis (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis)
Features
New knitting concept: particularly stretchy, breathable and moisture
dissipating for effective compression and excellent wearing comfort.
The
sidebars are additionally secured with circular, inelastic straps. Special knitting
techniques make the support extremely comfortable to wear, including behind the knee. The
anatomically shaped bars can be heated and reshaped and are inserted in lateral guide channels. A circular viscoelastic insert surrounds the patella and facilitates correct positioning of
the support.
Mode of action
The combination of joint bars and a strap system provides added passive support to the knee.
The positive effect on the sensorimotor system provides added active support to the knee.
Knee activity moves the padded ring, thereby massaging the parapatellar soft tissue structures. The compression and massage effects accelerate the reabsorption of edema and effusions.

Bauerfeind Secutec Genu Knee brace The functional knee brace by Bauerfeind designed to control sever
instability around the knee following ligamentous injury.
Indications
- Instabilities after rupturing the
anterior and/or posterior cruciate ligament (ACL/PCL)
- After ligament surgery/syndesmoplasty
- Complex instabilities (traumatic, degenerative)
- To restrict the range of movement of the knee (for example, after collateral ligament injuries, meniscal suturing
or meniscal implantation)
Features - SecuTec
Genu is extremely light.
- The thin aluminum frame is anatomically contoured,
flat and fits closely to the body.
- The special frame construction provides
a simple and effortless leg-geometric fit with respect to the joint plane.
- The
specially processed aluminum alloy makes the frame extremely light, stable and formable.
- The
orthosis can be applied from the front of the leg.
- The physiological hinges
can be easily adjusted for various therapeutic needs while on the leg. With 4 point security, the bi-axial hinge is highly
stable.
- Protected from dirt and wear, the hinges have a damped 0 degree stop.
- The breathable and non-irritating padding
has a slip-resistant coating and is easily removed and re-applied for cleaning.
- To
fit the individual knee width (in swelling situations) there are condylar pads of varying thicknesses.
- Flexibly positioned condyle pads avoid skin irritations.
- The
straps can be fastened in 2 positions for ease of application and are pivoting on the side so that the strap follows the geometry
of the leg.
- The lower, distal strap near the joint is highly adjustable so
that the strap position fits the calf.
- To treat the PCL, the proximal strap
near the joint can be shifted ventrally. To treat a complex instability, an additional strap can be used.
- Flexion and extension can be limited independently from each other.
(Flexion: 0°, 10°,
20°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, 120°)
(Extension: 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°)
Mode of action - The
knee orthosis is based on the proven 4-Point-Principle.
- The torsionally stiff frame construction counteracts the
anterior/posterior drawer effect and stabilizes the knee against varus/valgus forces.
- Possible
constraining forces exerted by the orthosis on the knee are minimized through adaptation of the anatomically contoured frame
to the duo-centric hinges.
