Bauerfeind Genutrain P3

Size Measurements

To ensure you get the perfect fit,  it’s essential to measure your knee correctly. Follow these simple steps to find your size:

Step 1: Prepare for Measurement

• Stand or sit with your leg extended straight, making sure your muscles are relaxed.
• Ensure you have a flexible measuring tape.

Step 2: Measure the Thigh Circumference

• Find the center of your kneecap (patella).
• From the center of your kneecap, measure 14 cm (approximately 5.5 inches) up your thigh.
• Wrap the measuring tape around your thigh at this point and note the circumference in centimeters or inches.

Step 3: Measure the Calf Circumference

• Again, start from the center of your kneecap.
• Measure 12 cm (approximately 4.75 inches) down your calf.
• Wrap the measuring tape around your calf at this point and note the circumference.

Step 4: Find Your Size

• Compare your measurements with the size chart provided below

• • • Muscle-relaxing pad – Reduces sideways pulling of the kneecap to further reduce pain and relax the muscles with soothing massage.
    • Corrective guide – Helps prevent your kneecap from drifting outward to relieve discomfort during treatment without loss of mobility.
    • Patella cover – Counteracts the tilting of the patella
    • Corrective strap – Can be individually adjusted for optimal kneecap control
    • Pad wing – Extends as far as the vastus medialis muscle, improves proprioception
    • Drop-shaped pad – Centers the kneecap and massages surrounding knee area
    • Hoffa Pads – Two massage nubs on the inside of the pad stimulate the infrapatellar fat pad to promote the body’s natural healing mechanism

    Design:

    • Medical Ccl 1 (20-30 mm Hg)
    • Lateral and medial metal stays

1. Washing

• Machine Wash: The knee brace can be machine washed separately at 30°C (86°F) using a mild liquid detergent.
• Velcro Straps: If your brace has Velcro straps, remove them if possible or secure them firmly to the designated areas.
• Pads and Splints: Remove any pads or splints before washing, if possible.
• Laundry Net: Place the brace in a laundry net to protect it during the wash cycle.
• Spin Cycle: Use a gentle spin cycle with a maximum of 500 revolutions per minute.

1. Drying

• Air Dry: Lay the knee brace flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid hanging it to prevent stretching.
• Avoid Heat: Do not tumble dry, iron, or expose the brace to direct sunlight or heat sources as this can damage the fabric and elasticity. 

1. Regular Maintenance

• Frequency: Wash your knee brace regularly to maintain the compression and hygiene of the knitted fabric.
• Inspection: Regularly check for signs of wear and tear. Replace the brace if the fabric becomes overly stretched or if any components are damaged.

1. Storage

• Cool, Dry Place: Store the knee brace in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
• Flat Storage: Keep the brace flat to maintain its shape and elasticity. Avoid folding it for long periods.

By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your Genu Train P3 Knee Brace remains in optimal condition, providing you with the best support and comfort for your knee.
