Bauerfeind® GenuTrain® P3 Knee Support

DESCRIPTION

The new GenuTrain P3 guides a kneecap that drifts out of line back into its natural path and holds it there, easing the ache around and behind the knee that gets worse on stairs, when running or after sitting for long periods. Its patella pad with an adjustable corrective strap applies gentle pressure towards the inside of the knee, exactly where a drifting kneecap needs it.

As you move, the upper wing of the pad activates the vastus medialis, the inner thigh muscle that helps keep the kneecap centred. Two textured Hoffa Spots on the pad work on the fat pad just below the kneecap to ease pain in this commonly sensitive area, and a further pad on the outer thigh takes tension off the iliotibial band to reduce the sideways pull on the kneecap. The textured knit massages the tissue with every step, helping to reduce swelling.

This new design adds silicone grip dots along the top edge so the support stays in place during activity, flexible side stays with built-in pull tabs for easier fitting, and a soft comfort zone behind the knee for all-day wear.
