Bauerfeind SofTec Genu Knee Orthosis

If your knee has been injured or just been operated on, it needs support and has to be protected from excess strain. SofTec® Genu gives you a great feeling of stability, without restricting your mobility. On the contrary: every movement also activates the massaging nodules on the built-in knee pad. These massage the surrounding tissue and so speed up the healing process.

KEY FEATURES:

• Helps to relieve pain. 
• Healing massage with every movement provided by a pad on the kneecap. 
• Stability and control provided by "intelligent" fixed joint splints. 
• Maximum wearing comfort thanks to the anatomically shaped, breathable SofTec vector-oriented knitted fabric.

INDICATIONS: 

• Treatment of "unstable knee joint": Severe osteoarthritis of the knee,
• Rheumatoid arthritis – progressive rheumatoid arthritis,
• Endoprosthesis – secondary rehabilitation,
• Post-traumatic. - Isolated rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament up to and including the "unhappy triad":
• Conservative treatment,
• Pre-operative and postoperative management,
• Long-term rehabilitation – sports therapy,
• Chronic insufficiency.

MEASUREMENT AND PRODUCT RANGE: Measure your leg in three areas centre of kneecap (middle circumference (C), 17cm above (upper circumference (A)) and 15cm below (lower circumference(B)) 

PRODUCT DETAILS:  The position of the axis of rotation in the knee joint varies from person to person. That is why the SofTec® Genu knee orthosis comes with "intelligent" side joints. They adjust automatically to your personal axis of rotation. This reduces strain on the knee and means that the orthosis follows every non-damaging movement you make. This also makes it very popular with high-level athletes: the West German Handball Association has officially approved the SofTec® Genu for use in competitions.
