Bauerfeind GenuTrain A3 Knee Brace – New Edition

The Bauerfeind GenuTrain A3 orthopedic knee brace is suitable for treating various types of knee complaints: e.g. osteoarthritis, irritated knee joint, complex knee pain or misalignment of the kneecap (patellar lateralization).  Thanks to the anatomically shaped pad integrated in the elastic knit fabric (silicone pressure pad), the brace gives the joint and muscles a targeted, healing intermittent compression massage with every movement.

Stabilizes and Stimulates

With osteoarthritis, it is important to keep the pain under control but at the same time mobilize the knee in order to slow down the progression of the disease. The GenuTrain A3 helps by providing targeted support and relief. When you move, the knee brace exerts an alternating pressure massage, which promotes the reduction of swelling. Its star-shaped pad stimulates the joint-stabilizing muscles and massages typical pain areas on the inside of the knee to relieve discomfort. In addition to the massage elements, this flexible pad has recessed notches so that it always remains in a secure position even when the knee is bent.

Effective and Comfortable

The Train knit is characterized by it’s medical compression and high breathability. Elastic stretch zones in the back of the knee and calf area ensure a maximum freedom of movement and long-lasting comfort. People who are sensitive to pressure also benefit from the pleasantly soft edge areas. The silicone grip band on the inside of the upper edge of the brace ensures that the GenuTrain A3 is held securely during everyday activities or therapeutic exercises – even with weak connective tissue. The integrated donning aids are easy to grip and therefore allow for easy handling with little effort.

What’s the difference between GenuTrain, GenuTrain A3, GenuTrain P3 and GenuTrain S?

Each brace is designed specifically for a different type of injury or pain. You can find comprehensive information, as well as a comparison chart, on the Product Details page. Here’s an overview:

GenuTrain® is designed for weak, swollen or painful knees. This brace support is best for nagging pain such as tendinitis/jumper’s knee.

GenuTrain P3® relieves pain caused by misalignment of the kneecap (patellar femoral syndrome) or tracking issues.

GenuTrain A3® is designed for degenerative knee pain such as osteoarthritis, middle knee injuries or pain on the inner side of the knee.

GenuTrain S® is best if you suffer from more advance osteoarthritis of the knee, rheumatoid arthritis, bone-on-bone arthritis or MCL/LCL ligament injuries.

Care Instructions

All Train active braces can be washed separately in the washing machine at 30°C with liquid detergent. Please note the following information:

In the case of products with Velcro straps, these should be removed if possible or firmly attached to the designated place.

If possible, pads or splints should also be removed before washing.

It is recommended to use a laundry net (spin cycle: maximum 500 revolutions per minute). Dry your Train active brace in the air and not in the dryer, otherwise, the knitted fabric may be impaired.
