Medi Genumedi Pro Knee Brace with Circular Straps & Patented Hinge Support
The Genumedi Pro is a heavy duty knee support built for overall protection and stabilisation of the knee ( ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL Support). With its medially and laterally placed Easyglide Hinges it ensures relief & protection of the knee joint. It also comes with a integrated patella silicone ring to reduce stress on the knee cap.
Injury Support & Protection:
- Moderate to strong knee & patella support
- Instability of the knee joint
- Osteoarthritis of the knee
- Meniscus injuries
- Lateral ligament instabilities
- For postoperative stabilisation and compression, for example following partial meniscectomy or cartilage smoothing
How does it work?/Mode of action
The integrated silicone ring of the Genumedi reduces stress on the kneecap. Together with the compression of the knitted fabric, it causes a massage effect. This enhances perfusion of the joint and decreases swelling and effusion. Irritation and pain are alleviated. At the same time, muscular control and inherent stabilisation of the knee joint are improved. The medially and laterally placed Easyglide joints provide additional stability. The new Easyglide joint technology ensures relief of the knee joint and supports its physiological rolling and gliding movement. The two straps encircling the thigh and calf provide additional stability. Supports are most beneficial during physical activity.
Donning/fitting instructions
Open both straps.
Grip the brace with the thumb on the inside at the upper end of the lateral adherent nap straps.
Pull the brace over your knee in such a way that the silicone ring encircles the patella centrally and without pressure. The middle of the joint should now be in a line with the upper edge of the patella.
Close both straps.
To take off the brace, first, open both straps, then grip the brace at the lower edge and pull it down.
Please take care that trained staff instruct you when putting on the support for the first time.
Wearing directions
The support can in principle be worn throughout the day. This must depend on how comfortable the wearer is. Moreover, the knee may not be bent by more than 70° when sitting. The support should be removed for long breaks (e.g. long periods sitting, long drives or sleeping).
