BAUERFEIND GenuTrain P3 Patella Knee Brace, Black (Left) Size 2

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. Indications Patellofemoral pain syndrome . Chondromalacia. Patellar tip syndrome (patellar tendonitis). Lateralization of the patella (dislocation tendency). Anterior knee pain. High-riding patella (patella alta). Instability. After lateral release surgery. Directions Firmly grip the top of the support with two hands (one either side of the lateral spines)at the level of the ring-shaped donning aid and pull over the knee joint until the kneecap is free from pressure and is surrounded by the silicone insert. Adjust as required until a snug fit is achieved. In contact sports a protective covering should be applied. Safety Warning Remove if impaired sensation or causes circulation issues.
