Description
- USED TO HELP TREAT AND PREVENT: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (chondropathy, chondromalacia), Patellar tip syndrome (patellar tendonitis), Lateralization of the patella (dislocation tendency), High-riding patella (patella alta), Feeling of Instability, After Lateral release surgery
- UNIQUE DESIGN: P3 stands for "permanent patella protection" This unique buttress captures the patella during bending and straightening out of the knee or improved tracking.
- EFFECTIVE SUPPORT: Patella knee brace is stitched specifically to the shape of the knee; incorporates a rubberized insert that surrounds the patella. An integrated tracking feature ensures proper tracking and support; ensures correct alignment and provides compression to reduce swelling.
- COMFORTABLE FABRIC: Lightweight and breathable fabric. Machine Wash on cold.
- ENSURE CORRECT FIT AND SIZING: A) Start at the outside of your knee. Measure up your thigh 6.75". Find the loose circumference of your leg from that point. B) Start at the outside of your knee. Measure down your calf at 6". Find the loose circumference of your leg at that point. See image for visual details.
- THE BAUERFEIND STANDARD OF QUALITY: All Bauerfeind products are made in Germany with the highest manufacturing standards to ensure superior quality. Bauerfeind technology has evolved over the past 80+ years and continues to set the standard in fit, comfort, support and performance.
P3 stands for "permanent patella protection" - because the GenuTrain P3 protects the patella (kneecap) securely during every movement. The kneecap is centered using a specially shaped massage pad with high sides and inward-facing silicone dots for exerting pain-relieving compression on Hoffa's fat pad. An adjustable corrective strap helps to protect the kneecap from drifting sideways and can be tightened to various degrees depending on the loading situation. A second wedge-shaped massage pad at the upper outside edge of the brace slightly eases the pressure on the tendons connected to the kneecap, thus minimizing the outward pull. This provides relief for the kneecap and support during its natural movement. The braces's compressive knit and two pads exert a pain-relieving massage effect during movement, which helps to reduce swelling more quickly and activates the muscles that stabilize the joint.
