Genumedi®

Genumedi is a knee support for soft tissue compression. Thanks to the ingenious knitting technology, it consists of a firm, compressive material. This gives the joint the required stability, yet is still easy to put on. The soft Comfort Zone with its rippled structure and diamond centre in the hollow of the knee provides the necessary comfort in wear, also when moving around. Thanks to the open border of the patella silicone ring, the pressure on the kneecap is noticeably lower.

Genumedi is suitable for all indications, for which soft tissue compression with local compression pad(s) int he area of the patella is necessary. Such as:

• slight instability of the knee joint
• osteoarthritis of the knee
• arthritis
• patellofemoral pain syndrome

The 3D silicone pad integrated in the soft support facilitates the reduction of swelling (oedema, haematomas). A silicone dot coating and the firm connection with the knitted fabric and lateral rod material (non-slip) lead to an optimum slip-resistance of the Genumedi® knee support. The unique knitting technology in the region of the hollow of the knee prevents painful constriction. Because of the special combination of high-tech fibres and natural eucalyptus fibres, the Genumedi knee support is gentle on the skin. The compressive knitted fabric can improve proprioception, which supports the body‘s own guidance and stabilizes the joint.

Thanks to Clima Comfort* and Clima Fresh, the support convinces with its high breathability and antibacterial fibre technology to inhibit odours. Thus, the soft support is not just suitable in everyday life, but also during increased physical activity.

The new Genumedi® variety – tailored options for individual leg shapes:

• Genumedi Standard: Ideal for average leg proportions – the proven fit for secure hold in everyday life.
• Genumedi extrawide with top band: Optimally suitable for larger thighs starting from 46 cm circumference – for noticeable support without constriction.
• NEW! Genumedi extrawide with top band short: Specifically developed for shorter, larger thighs starting from 46 cm circumference – especially for smaller body sizes.
• Genumedi customised: For individual patient care – supports precisely and reliably.

*Scientifically tested by the French Institut IFTH1. The test result shows that Clima Comfort technology from medi guarantees climate exchange between the skin and the garment. medi achieved an outstanding total score with 11 out of 12 points.
