GenuPoint® for Patellar Tendon Relief and Support

INDICATIONS

• Tendinitis of the patellar ligament (jumper’s knee, patellar tip syndrome)
• Chondropathy of the patella
• Anterior knee pain

PRODUCT DETAILS

The GenuPoint supports and guides the patellar tendon during loading to relieve the excess strain on the patellar tendon below the kneecap, to help ease pain in the front of the knee, and to counteract the noticeable effects of restricted mobility.

The narrow support is anatomically contoured and sits directly below the kneecap. A special functional element that provides relief thanks to the functional four gel-like pressure points incorporated in its knitted fabric. These pressure points target the area around the patellar tendon, providing relief at its insertion. Each pressure point has nubs that provide a soothing massage effect during movement. The two inner pressure points guide and support the tendon during loading, outer pressure points enhance the perception of stimuli in the surrounding area and boost the joint function of the knee through a number of effects including faster muscle activation.

The soft knitted fabric of the GenuPoint is only elastic in one direction, allowing it to hold the knee in position securely when it is bent and thus allows maximum freedom of movement. The support can be tightened evenly via a VELCRO® Brand Fastening System on both sides, allowing the relieving compression to be adjusted to individual needs when the support is put on.
