VenoTrain Sport Compression Socks by Bauerfeind

With an active effect you can truly feel, the VenoTrain Sport Compression Sock by Bauerfeind is– the first sport stocking that meets RAL requirements for medical compression stockings and is perfectly adapted to the needs of athletes. The compression effect has been proven to optimally enhance blood circulation, and also reduces both swelling and the risk of muscular micro-tears (muscular soreness) and supports regeneration following physical exertion.
  • A new generation and available in three colors
  • Special muscle-active zones for the calves
  • Available from your medical supply retailer without prescription 
The high microfiber content, which makes the stocking easy to put on and offers optimal wearing comfort, temperature and moisture regulation, as well as a specially reinforced antibacterial sole make the kind of difference that you notice - as does the Perfect Fit size system with its seven measurement points to ensure that perfect fit. Do not leave your success to chance!
  • Ankle Circumference in inches: 7 7/8” - 8 2/3”
  • Calf Circumference in inches: 12 1/5” - 15 3/4”
  • Length: Less then 15 3/4”

GenuTrain P3 Knee Support by Bauerfeind

The Bauerfeind GenuTrain P3 Knee Support is an anatomically knitted support that incorporates a contoured silicone insert surrounding the patella. This support is specially designed to center the patella during joint movement. Ideal for use after lateral release surgery, this knee support is also great for those suffering from Femoropatella pain syndrome, Patellar lateralization and Osteoarthritis of the knee. Made out of an elastic and breathable knit material, the GenuTrain P3 features a shaped insert that uses corrective tension to counteract patellar shifting while the external compression helps reduce edema and improve knee stabilization. This active knee support can be used on a daily basis as well as when participating in sports.

The Bauerfeind GenuTrain P3 is recommended for the following conditions: femoropatellar pain syndrome, patella lateralization, after lateral release surgery, or osteoarthritis of the knee. With intermittent compression provided by the silicone insert, the Bauerfiend GenuTrain® P3 Knee Support supports tissue metabiolism, helps reduce edema, and improves muscular stabilization of the knee joint. Normal knee supports start to pinch and bunch after a couple of hours of use; the new trapezoidal stitching in the Bauerfiend GenuTrain® P3 Knee Support helps to prevent bunching and pinching from occurring. With the GenuTrain® P3 Knee Support, you can enjoy active support, compression, and comfort like never before.

Features


  • Anatomically knitted support incorporating contoured silicone insert surrounding the patella
  • An integrated guide keeps the patella from shifting out of place
  • During activity the insert not only counteracts patellar malalignment but provides intermittent compression for the reduction of swelling and edema
  • Promotes proprioception, thus heightening sensory awareness in the knee for increased joint stabilization
  • Innovative trapezoidal stitch in the popliteal region prevents bunching and pinching
  • Anatomical knit with graduated compression graduated toward the edges prevents constriction of circulation and rolling of the support
  • Silicone banding at top of support and medial/lateral stays guard against migration
  • Lightweight, breathable knit will not retain heat and is completely machine washable
  • Designed for: Patellar subluxation, Chondromalacia, Patellar dislocation, Osgood-Schlatter's disease after lateral release surgery, Anterior knee pain, Patellar instability, Osteoarthritis


  • Sizing::
    To find your correct size for the GenuTrain® P3 Knee Support, measure the circumference of your leg 6 inches below the knee and 6 3/4 inches above the knee as shown in the illustration.

    IF-4000 Interferential Stimulator


    Interferential Stimulator IF-4000 is used to treat symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain and/or as adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic acute pain. It is a low frequency treatment that uses two medium frequency currents which "interfere" with each other to produce a beat frequency that the body recognizes as a low frequency energy source. The range is usually 1-250 Hz. The body produces frequency currents between 1-256 Hz. The major use of Interferential Therapy is to accelerate the inflammatory or healing rate. So almost any condition can be treated where inflammation is a problem.
    Interferential Stimulator IF-4000 ProMed is a dual channel unit, which allows you to use up to four electrodes at a time (two electrodes per channel).

    The IF-4000 Unit features:

  • Dual Channels,
  • Multi-mode Selector Switch,
  • Electrode Switch,
  • Power-on Indicator Light,
  • Low Battery Light,
  • Frequency Control,
  • Amplitude Control

    Technical Specifications:
  • Carrier Frequency: (4000 +/- 10%) Hz, fixed.
  • Difference Frequency: (1+/- 0.5)~(150 +/- 10%)Hz, adjustable
  • Output Voltage: (16 +/- 2.5)Volts. (500 ohm Loading)
  • Waveform: Symmetric biphasic saure.
  • Pulse Width: (125 +/- 10%) microseconds for each phase.
  • Power Source: 9V alkaline battery or adaptor
  • Four Frequency Shift: Continuous, 1/1 abrupt, 8/8 abrupt, 10/10 ramped Options.
    All values have 10% +/- tolerance

    The package includes:
  • Interferential Stimulator IF-4000 ProMed,
  • Lead Wires (New FDA compliant),
  • 4 Self-stick Hypoallergenic reusable electrodes,
  • 9 Volt Battery,
  • Hard Plastic Carrying case,
  • Instruction Booklet,
  • 120 Volt adapter.

    NOTE: Difference Between TENS & Interferential: TENS delivers a low frequency current which causes an accumulation of energy in the skin. To be effective, TENS may therefore rely more heavily on neural channels than interferential types of currents do in order to be clinically effective in subcutaneous layers of tissue. Due to its medium frequency mode of delivery, interferential currents penetrate the skin easily and may have a more direct cellular effect below the skin. Interferential current may also appear less noxious to the patient since very little energy is accumulated in the skin. Interferential therapy should not be used with a cardiac pacemaker, over the eyelids, on the head or on the front on the neck. Please consult with a physician before using an IF-4000.

    Note: This unit is a Class II Medical Device and by FDA regulations cannot be returned if it has been used.
