What Is the GenuTrain P3 Knee Brace?

Can I Use the GenuTrain P3 Brace During Sports?

The GenuTrain P3 is ideal for wearing during sports, particularly if you've suffered an injury from a twist or direct impact. This active knee brace improves healing time while also protecting against the risk of overloading or developing a second injury. The elasticity of the knit ensures that your mobility is not restricted.

How Does the GenuTrain P3 Knee Brace Work?

Unlike many basic knee braces, which can offer minimal pain relief during healing, the Bauerfeind GenuTrain P3 Knee Brace utilises a range of supportive features to ensure you get the best relief possible. The P3 in the name 'GenuTrain P3' stands for 'permanent patella protection', as the brace protects the patella (generally known as the kneecap) securely as you move. Please see the annotated diagram below for more details.

1. Muscle-Relaxing Pad: This reduces the lateral pull at the knee, helping to reduce pain.
2. Corrective Guide: The corrective guide has been designed to stop the patella from drifting laterally.
3. Patella Cover: This cover counteracts the tilting of the patella, helping to increase stability.
4. Corrective Strap: This strap can be adjusted to provide you with the right level of kneecap control.
5. Pad Wing: This ensures proximal extension as far as the vastus medialis muscle, improving proprioception.
6. Viscoelastic Pad: This flat and anatomically designed pad improves comfort and centres the kneecap
7. Hoffa Pads: Offering distal reinforcement (directed inwards) and compression of the infrapatellar fat pad

Sizing for the Bauerfeind GenuTrain Knee Brace

The Bauerfeind GenuTrain Knee Brace is available in six different sizes for the left or right leg. To decide which size is right for you, please refer to the diagram below and then check the sizing chart.

If you are between two sizes, or your thigh and calf have two different sizes, then we would recommend selecting the largest of the two sizes.

How Do I Wash My GenuTrain P3 Brace?

You can wash your Bauerfeind GenuTrain P3 Knee Brace in a cold machine wash on a gentle or delicate cycle. Velcro straps, pads, and inserts should be removed where possible or fastened down. Make sure that you lay the support flat and let it air dry after washing.

Unrivalled Guidance for the Kneecap

The GenuTrain P3 uses a specially shaped functional cushion that works in conjunction with a corrective strap to keep the kneecap centred and perfectly aligned during the movement phase of your gait and step. This offers relief to tired and worn out kneecaps and allows the patella to relax, preventing further aggravation and inflammation. 

Keep Moving

Keeping the ligaments, tendons and muscles in your legs moving during rehabilitation and recovery is vital. Whilst rest is also important, there's no better compromise during recovery than compression and light activity.

The GenuTrain P3 Knee Support stimulates the metabolism by providing compression to the entire joint, which in turn reduces swelling and helps relieve pain. This allows you to move freely and recover during movement without irritating the joint and surrounding muscles further.

Can I Wear the GenuTrain P3 Under Clothing?

Yes! With a flat and slim design, and an anatomically contoured shape, the Bauerfeind GenuTrain P3 Knee Brace can be worn under clothing. This helps to ensure that you can continue to enjoy the pain-relieving support of the GenuTrain P3 as you go about your day.

What Colours of the GenuTrain P3 Brace are Available?

The GenuTrain P3 Knee Brace is available in the colours Black, Natural, and Titan. This way, you can choose a knee brace for discretion and to match with your kit if wearing the brace during sports. Your preferred colour can be selected from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.
