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.
