GenuTrain® - Knee Brace
$99.90*
All-rounder: Stabilizes and relieves the knee during activity -
The knee support for active stabilization and targeted pain relief
The new-and-improved GenuTrain provides secure support for mild instability and relieves knee pain and swelling.
With a new Omega+ pad, the support provides targeted stimulation to sensitive areas of the knee that influence pain perception and mobility. Its anatomically-contoured knitted fabric with soft textured surface provides gentle massage and activates the body’s proprioceptors to keeps the support in place. Embedded stays with flexible bending zones and donning and doffing aids ensure a secure fit and make the support easy to put on and take off. GenuTrain is soft, breathable and moisture-wicking, especially in the sensitive area in the back of the knee, for all-day wearing comfort.
With medical-grade compression provided by a comfortable knitted fabric, the GenuTrain knee brace produces intermittent massage during movement, relieving knee pain and stimulating the body’s metabolic response. This improves circulation to bring more oxygenated blood to the affected tissue and reduces pain and swelling in and around the knee.
GenuTrain’s uniquely-engineered design activates the body’s own stabilization mechanisms: Its soft knitted fabric is anatomically-contoured and texturized to ensure full contact with the skin, engaging proprioceptors that send signals to the brain. This feedback leads to improved control of the muscles stabilizing the joint.
GenuTrain’s new-and-improved Omega+ pad protects and encases the kneecap, stabilizing the joint and massaging the surrounding tissue during movement. This feature enhances the pain-relieving and sensorimotoric effect of the support by stimulating two sensitive areas of the knee: the Hoffa’s fat pad and the base of the meniscus. In these Hoffa spots and meniscus wings, the viscoelastic gel material incorporates flexible massage nubs, providing additional selective stimuli during movement to counteract unnatural corrective habits.
The GenuTrain knee support remains securely in position. Lateral plastic stays embedded in the brace have flexible bending zones that follow the user’s movement patterns and stretch the knitted fabric around the knee so it does not slip. Donning and doffing aids integrated into the stays make it easier to put the support on and take it off. Thanks to compression-reduced edges and a soft, airier knitted comfort zone in the hollow of the knee, GenuTrain is comfortable to wear, even during longer periods of intensive movement during the day.

Proprietary design for relief of shoulder pain.
Bauerfeind’s OmoTrain shoulder brace features a unique design that guides and centers the arm in the socket, so the shoulder maintains a proper, natural movement without limiting mobility. The support is easy to put on and take off thanks to its high elasticity, and it is secured to your upper body with a soft strap.
The full pain-relieving effect of the support is produced during movement. As you move, the OmoTrain support activates the muscles and gives an intermittent massage on the soft tissues. You can also use a removable pad for additional massaging effects on specific pain spots.
Supports while allowing full range of motion.
The OmoTrain shoulder brace supports you during everyday movements, such as lifting and extending the arm. Your chest and back areas are left free, so the support is particularly comfortable to wear.
The OmoTrain's soft knit fabric helps to ensure lasting comfort regardless of the activity. It's also machine washable in the gentle cycle, which helps maintain its elasticity and original fit.

Achilles Tendon Relief
