Genumedi PSS* knee support
- Stimulation of the patellar tendon
- Secure guiding of the patella
- Distribution of pressure
Description
Genumedi® PSS is a knee brace for relief of the insertions of the patellar tendon. The integrated 3D silicone friction nubs on the tendon pad stimulate the patellar tendon (patellar ligament), while the compression exerted by the knitted fabric provides safe guidance. In addition, the patellar pad safely guides the kneecap. This two-part pad system leads to an overall pain reduction. There is also a balanced pressure distribution (no cutting into calf area) thanks to the asymmetric strap system (rear strap is positioned slightly lower).
The Patellafemoral pain syndrome, for example, often occurs in types of sport involving intensive jumping and rapid changes of direction, stop-and-go sports and when jogging. Therefore, the Genumedi® PSS knee support can also be worn during sports. The patella strap on the knee support regulates the pressure on the patellar ligament. The posterior strap is offset slightly lower. This results in an even pressure distribution and there is no constriction over the calf. The individually adjustable strap system and the unique knitting technology at the ends of the support (medi Soft border) contribute towards a pleasant wearing feeling and the perfect fit of Genumedi® PSS.
Furthermore, the integrated silicone dot coating on the inside ensures it is non-slip, so the knee support has a firm grip - even during sporting activities. Studies have proved that regular training with exercises for the patellar ligament can reduce knee pain associated with patella tip syndrome. Single-leg squats on a 25° decline board were particularly effective.
The material of the Genumedi® PSS knee brace and the modern fibre technology ensure an outstanding wearing comfort. Thanks to the special Clima Comfort* technology, the fibres transport moisture quickly away from the surface of the skin and, at the same time, ensure high breathability. Furthermore, the integrated Clima Fresh function inhibits odourforming bacteria - a real benefit during increased physical activity.
Intended purpose:
Genumedi PSS is a brace which guides patella tracking.

Properties
The elaborately worked knit ensures a balanced microclimate of the skin. Moisture is transported reliably and quickly from the inner surface to evaporate from the outer surface. At the same time, the material’s active breathing structure guarantees the necessary oxygen supply.
medi World of Compression: signpost to the future with 65 years' competence in the field of compression. The products in the medi World of Compression are marked first and foremost by their versatility, their numerous possible combinations, their first-class finishing and that special wearing feeling – for the ‘I feel better’ moment.
All compression garments and compression pantyhose (round knit and flat knit), anti-embolism stockings and supports are regularly tested to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for human ecological harmful substances and assessed. The awarding of the certificate OEKO-TEX Standard 100 guarantees tested quality that safeguards your health.
Clima Fresh: The integrated Clima Fresh function has an odour-inhibiting effect. This is achieved via special thread technology or via special processing during the production process.
