The Bauerfeind GenuTrain® A3 Knee Support is an anatomically knitted support designed to relieve irritative conditions of the knee. The compression/decompression effect resulting from movement similar to a friction massage aids in the reduction of swelling. The breathable material and the anatomically contoured knit with the integrated viscoelastic pad provide both maximum comfort and effective treatment at the same time.
Indications
Irritative conditions, especially gonarthrosis (also the onset of ligamentosis, tendomyopathy, posttraumatic and postoperative)
Knee pain with functional instability due to general muscular disbalance
Patellar lateralization
Jumper's Knee
Features
The insert form covers typical pain areas and important receptor zones of the knee joint
The viscoelastic insert has friction zones that are covered with nubs
The patella corrective guide is imbedded in the insert zone
The breathable, anatomical knit is very comfortable to wear
Two spiral stays located on the sides retain the shape of the knit
A non-irritative weave is incorporated in the critical area behind the knee
A stretch zone in the lower leg area allows for easy on and off
Mode of Action
The compression/decompression effect resulting from movement similar to a friction massage promotes the reduction of edema and resorption of swelling. This accelerates the healing process and leads to pain reduction in the medial subcapsular ligament area
The stimulation of skin receptors and nerve endings in the muscle-tendon transition supports the neuro-myonal system. This leads to a synchronization and activation of musculature. The vastus medialis is stimulated in particular. The rectus tendon is left free
The integrated corrective guide counteracts patellar drifting
