Relief, stability and activation of the knee joint
Bauerfeind GenuTrain is a medical support brace that relieves and stabilizes the knee joint. According to Bauerfeind, it alleviates pain and promotes mobility through alternating compression massage, activates the leg’s stabilizing muscles and helps reduce swelling.
According to the instructions for use, GenuTrain is used for conditions affecting tendons and tendon attachments, lax ligaments and meniscus problems, chronic irritation and irritation after injury or surgery, recurrent joint effusion, osteoarthritis and arthritis of the knee joint, a feeling of instability, and for preventive purposes.
How the Omega+ pad works
The Omega+ pad is ring-shaped and keeps the kneecap securely in place while reducing edema and swelling. The pad has massage points with soft silicone nodules directed at particularly tender areas:
- Meniscus wings on the sides of the knee relieve the area around the joint space and menisci.
- Hoffa points stimulate the fat pad beneath the kneecap with controlled pressure.
The Train knit stimulates the skin with every movement. According to Bauerfeind, this improves proprioception, activates the muscles and stabilizes the joint – allowing physiotherapy and light exercise to begin earlier.
Materials and comfort
The knit is anatomically shaped, soft and breathable, with an extra-soft comfort zone in the popliteal fossa. Two flexible plastic splints on the sides keep the support in the correct position, while the grips at the top and bottom make it easier to put on and take off. According to bauerfeind.se, the new Train knit is around 20% lighter and more breathable.
Material composition according to the manufacturer: polyamide (PA), styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), elastane (EL), cotton (CO), polyurethane (PUR) and polyester (PES). Versions with a silicone edge or silicone band also contain silicone (SI).

Use and care
If the support has a silicone band, fold the band out first. Grip the rods of the donning aid at the top on both sides and pull the support upwards over your knee. Position the Omega+ pad so that it surrounds the kneecap without pressure. When removing the support, grip the rods at the bottom and pull downwards – do not turn the support inside out.
Wash at 30 °C with mild detergent and a laundry bag, and follow the care instructions on the sewn-in label. Regular care preserves its effectiveness.
In the package
