Medi Genumedi Knee Support

The Medi Genumedi Knee Support is a premium quality knee support designed to provide comfortable compression and support for your knee.

The Medi Genumedi Knee Support is supplied complete with a removable patella silicone ring which is wide enough to provide maximum pressure relief by not enclosing the patella too tightly. The Medi Genumedi Knee Support is made from an elastic, breathable and moisture-transporting Clima Comfort fabric to provide extra comfort, and also features a specially knitted Comfort Zone to relieve pressure and prevent constriction at the back of the knee.

The Medi Genumedi Knee Support achieves a massage effect by using the compressive fabric and silicone insert to improve blood circulation and lead to rapid reduction of haematomas and oedemas. This seamless Medi Genumedi Knee Support is tailored to improve proprioception (bodily and muscular self awareness) and therefore improves muscular support (stabilisation of the knee) whilst giving premium comfort to the wearer.

The Medi Genumedi Knee Support features a comfortable, silicone, non-slip gripping system on the inside of the knee support that stops the garment from slipping down during use. This ensures that the Medi Genumedi Knee Support stays in the correct position to support the knee.
