Bauerfeind's most popular knee support, GenuTrain® is anatomically knitted for a precise fit and features an incorporated silicone insert. This comfortable, lightweight support relieves knee pain and swelling during sports or everyday activities. An incorporated silicone insert leaves the patella pressure free and provides intermittent compression to the soft tissue of the joint leading to increased circulation, thus aiding in the resorption of swelling and edema.
Silicone Insert
Promotes proprioception (balance), thus heightening sensory awareness in the knee for increased joint stabilization. Graduated compression at the edges prevents constriction of circulation. Innovative knit in the popliteal region prevents bunching or pinching. Three dimensional knit with covered patella avoids window edema, yet keeps pressure off the knee cap. Medial and lateral stainless steel stays keep the support from rolling or bunching. Improved, more breathable fabric knit will not retain heat and is machine washable. Easy Pull-up sleeve application.
Can be used to treat:
Knee strains or sprains - A sudden or violent twist or wrench of a joint causing the stretching or twisting of ligaments and often rupture of blood vessels with hemorrhage to the tissues.

Available in the following sizes:
Size is determined by loosely measuring: Point 1. Circumference at 4 3/4 inches below center of the knee Point 2. Circumference at 5 1/2 inches above center of the knee * If your measurements fall on the border, it is recommended that you go up in size.

GenuTrain Facts:
Q. Does it have a seam?
A. Because the product is anatomically knit to best fit the body, it has a seam on the side of the support. The seam is very flat and not irritating.
Q. What's the difference between GenuTrain and GenuTrain P3?
A. GenuTrain P3 was specifically designed to treat patellar subluxation (shifting). Therefore, the silicone insert in the P3 has a tracking guide to prevent the patella from shifting out of place. It is also a little bit longer and has 4 stays, rather than 2, because the silicone insert is a lot larger than the GenuTrain insert.
Q. What are the stays made of and what are they for?
A. The stays are made of spiraled stainless steel (like a slinky toy when it is flat) so they are very flexible and won't rust when wet. The stays have plastic tips on the ends so they won't make holes in the material. The stays help prevent the support from rolling.
Q. Why is the kneecap covered?
A. The knit material lightly covers the patella to prevent swelling from developing in this area. GenuTrain's unique, 3 dimensional knit does not put excess pressure on the kneecap, which is a benefit.
