Knee support for compression of soft tissue

There can be many causes of pain in the knee: Injuries, strains caused by overloading or operations, mild arthrosis, arthritis or mild instabilities. The Genumedi E+motion knee support supports you by effectively alleviating these complaints. The integrated silicone quartz pad with a 3D profile creates a beneficial massage effect as you move. It also stimulates the circulation of the tissue. Working together with the compressive fabric, swelling and oedemas can be efficiently reduced and the healing process can be promoted.
Alongside the tried and trusted medical effect, Genumedi E+motion scores extra points with its exclusive features in a sporty look. The breathable fabric made from active fibre and merino fibre support the thermo-regulation in both summer and winter, adapting perfectly to movement and also giving the joint extra stability for high stress during sport, at work or in everyday life. The quadruple silicon point coating ensures that the support always sits perfectly during all activities. The extra-large comfort zone in the bending region (hollow of the knee) is another new feature. It helps to prevent skin irritations and supports the wearing comfort.

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.
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.

Donning/fitting instructions

Grasp the support with the thumb on the internal upper end of the lateral knob adhesive bands. Pull the support over the knee in such a way that the silicone ring covers the kneecap centrally and free of pressure. To take off the support, grasp the lower lateral rods and pull it
downwards and away. Please take care that trained staff instruct you when putting on the
support for the first time.
