GenuTrain® – The new generation with Omega pad
Always one step ahead
With its innovative combination of compression and
stabilization with exceptional proprioceptive response, the
GenuTrain® revolutionized the market in 1981. Since then, the
first anatomically contoured knee support with a viscoelastic
pad has undergone continuous further development and, on
its 30th anniversary, is once again setting new standards.
Thanks to the integration of the new Omega pad and the Train
active knit, the GenuTrain is now better than ever at stabilizing the
knee joint and relieving pain while promoting proprioception. The
particularly soft knit in the posterior region of the knee and the
support's integrated donning aid offer advanced wearing comfort,
and the range of standard sizes has also been extended, meaning
that more patients will be able to enjoy the benefits of the
GenuTrain. The new generation of the GenuTrain is now available
from your medical supply retailer.
The seventh generation of the GenuTrain offers new product
features which enhance both the medical effectiveness and the
wearing comfort. In conjunction with the knit, the new Omega pad,
shaped like the Greek letter Ω, molds itself more effectively to the
anatomical contours of the knee joint and has a targeted effect on
the central pain spots of the knee region. It provides relief for the
kneecap through the precise transmission of the therapeutic
intermittent pressure to the surrounding soft tissue, as well as by
means of the two new Hoffa pads on the lower edge, which exert
metered pressure on the infrapatellar fat pad. The lateral wings of
the pad extend into the front joint space of the knee, providing
targeted pain relief at the meniscus in this sensitive area by means
of intermittent pressure.

The interaction between the new Omega pad and the Train active
knit also enhances the stabilizing effect of the support. Together,
these effectively stimulate the proprioceptors in the soft tissue of
the knee and on the skin. This activates the musculature and
provides both long-term stabilization for the joint and optimal
support for its sensorimotor function.
The ingenious functional design of the new GenuTrain also
ensures optimal effectiveness and a high level of wearing comfort.
It is particularly pleasant to wear thanks to the breathable material,
the perfect fit and the new, much softer knit in the hollow of the
knee. Spiral stays at the sides make sure that the support does not
lose its shape during movement, while the new integrated pull tabs
make the supports easy to put on with little effort.
With the seventh generation, the range of standard sizes has been
extended to include Size 7. The new GenuTrain can therefore also
be supplied immediately for larger leg circumferences in the colors
titan, nature and black.
