The NEW Bauerfeind Genutrain includes a host of new improvements for enhancing support and performance to help people with knee pain. Built upon its trusted knit design the new model includes further refinement to the material in the hollow space behind the knee. It's now thinner to reduce bunching with deep knee bending. The brace features active knit design that stretches to conform exactly to the shape of your leg at rest or during activity. The active knit has a high elasticity component for greater comfort and performance during work or play. On the sides above the spiral stays located inside the support are integrated donning aid thumb loops to make pulling it up into place a simple process - simply loop your fingers in and pull upward to fit the brace correctly. The edges at both the top and bottom are slightly tapered to reduce compression and not impede blood flow for greater patient comfort. Silicone dots on the top band provide a secure fit against men's and women's legs. The newly added silicone Omega pad features a flared tabs at the bottom for comfort against the meniscus while providing a message effect to the underlying soft tissues. The silicone buttress exerts compression around your patella to reduce pain during walking activities. The Genutrain provides effective patella stabilization and can be to treat a variety of conditions including tendinitis chondromalacia arthritis and more. The support is a favorite worldwide and provides exceptional support for walking sports and rehab.
