Intended purpose

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.

Supports are most beneficial during physical activity. 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).

If you suffer excessive pain or discomfort during wear, please take off the product immediately and contact your doctor or specialised shop.

The support is suitable for use in water. After use, please rinse thoroughly.

Indications

• Slight instability of the knee joint
• Articular effusions and swellings
• Chronic post-operative and post-traumatic inflammation
• Osteoarthritis and arthritis
• Patello femoral pain syndrome

Contraindications

• Diseases or injuries of the skin in the area of use, especially with inflammatory symptoms (excessive warming, swelling or reddening)
• Sensitivity and perfusion disorders of the legs (e.g. in the case of diabetes)
• Lymph outflow disorders, as well as undiagnosed swellings of soft tissues, apart from the area of use.

This knee support is ideal for managing slight instability of the knee joint, articular effusions, chronic post-operative or post-traumatic inflammation, osteoarthritis, arthritis, and patellofemoral pain syndrome. It promotes muscular control and inherent stabilization of the knee, making it especially beneficial during physical activities.

For optimal use, the support can be worn throughout the day depending on comfort, but it should be removed during long periods of sitting, driving, or sleeping. The knee should not be bent beyond 70° while seated. The brace is also suitable for use in water; thorough rinsing after use is recommended.

Please note, this product is not suitable for individuals with skin diseases or injuries in the area of use, sensitivity or perfusion disorders such as diabetes, or lymph outflow disorders and undiagnosed soft tissue swellings beyond the application area. If excessive pain or discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional.
