GenuTrain A3 Knee Arthritis Relief Support by Bauerfeind

GenuTrain A3 centers the patella during joint movement and stimulates the skin receptors and nerve endings in the muscle-tendon transition around the knee to enhance proprioception and decrease pain and swelling.

Product Features:

  • Knobbed silicone insert activates several key joint muscles (vastus medialis, gastrocnemius) while decreasing pain and swelling in the medial compartment.
  • Centers the patella through corrective wire in the knit during joint movement and insert stimulates skin receptors and nerve endings in muscle-tendon transition around knee to enhance proprioception.
  • Lightweight, breathable, anatomical knit provides controlled compression to reduce swelling and edema and optimizes temperature regulation providing a cool, comfortable fit.
  • Special stretch knit in calf area facilitates easy donning and doffing.
  • Silicone banding at the top on the support and medial/lateral stays prevent migration.
  • Great for athletes or more active people with patellar and arthritic pain.
  • Promotes proprioception, thus heightening sensory awareness in the knee for increased joint stabilization.
  • Special, non-irritative weave in the critical area behind the knee prevents bunching and pinching.
  • Machine washable makes it easy to care for and cost effective.

    Can be used to treat:
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Patellar (knee) subluxation
  • Chondromalacia
  • Patellar (knee) dislocation
  • Anterior knee pain
  • Knee instability due to general muscular imbalance
  • Osgood-Schlatter's disease after lateral release surgery
  • Jumper’s Knee

    Size is determined by loosely measuring:
    Point 1: Loose circumference at 4 3/4" below center of the knee.
    Point 2: Loose circumference at 5 1/2" above center of the knee.

    MalleoTrain Ankle Support by Bauerfeind

    The Bauerfeind MalleoTrain Ankle Support relieves ankle pain and swelling during sports and everyday activities. It provides outstanding support and comfort during strenous activities. The soft fabric and silicone support inserts provide more flexible movement than other ankle braces that have stiff plastic inserts. The anatomical knit carries controlled compression graduated at the edges to prevent constriction of circulation in the ankle and foot. It's also machine washable.

    Bauerfeind MalleoTrain® Ankle Brace Features:

    • Knitted ankle support incorporating an anatomically contoured silicone insert behind each ankle bone
    • Silicone inserts leave ankle bones pressure-free and provide intermittent compression to the soft tissue of the joint, leading to increased circulation, thus aiding in the reduction of swelling and edema
    • Promotes proprioception, thus heightening sensory awareness in the ankle for increased joint stabilization
    • Anatomical knit carries controlled compression graduated at the edges to prevent constriction of circulation
    • Lightweight, breathable knit will not retain heat and is completely machine washable
    The Bauerfeind MalleoTrain Ankle Brace can be used to treat:
    • Ankle swelling and soreness
    • Ankle sprains

    • Sizing: Sizes is determined by measuring the circumference of the ankle at the narrowest point:

    • Size 1 - 6.75" - 7.5"
    • Size 2 - 7.5" - 8.25"
    • Size 3 - 8.25" - 9"

    AchilloTrain PRO Achilles Tendon Support by Bauerfeind

    Bauerfeind's AchilloTrain PRO systematically counteracts irritation to the Achilles tendon through support and compression. The support promotes muscular stabilization whilst a shaped insert (pad) with two wings and nubs massages the muscle-tendon transition. A groove running down the middle of the pad improves the drainage of edemas. Mobility is eased and assisted.

    Stability and freedom of movement
    AchilloTrain Pro uses a therapeutically effective combination of stabilization and mobility. The continuous transition between compression and decompression during movement promotes healing and improves the interaction of nerves and muscles. This is assisted by the integral visco-elastic pad, which stimulates the tissue above the heel by means of the soft nubs and longitudinal grooves. To the right and left, two additional wings stimulate the upper third of the tendon and the muscle-tendon transition.

    Gentle on the skin and comfortable
    The integral expansion zones in the anatomically contoured AchilloTrain Pro active support make it easier to put on and take off; it can be worn on the right or the left. The breathable material increases wearing comfort. The short knitted section in the metatarsal area prevents pressure points.

    Indications

  • Achillodynia (tendonitis, paratendinitis, bursitis, e.g. in Haglund's deformity)
  • Postoperative, e.g. of Achilles tendon ruptures
