Bauerfeind Merino Knee Brace

$210.00

Stabilization and relief of the knee joint with adjustable strap for relief of the patellar tendon.

The Merino Knee Brace offers relief and stabilization of the knee thanks to targeted activation of the muscles stabilizing the joint. The anatomically shaped Omega pad stabilizes the kneecap, absorbs impact pressure, and ensures an optimal distribution of force. In addition, the brace features an individually adjustable strap for increased relief of the anterior knee and the patellar tendon. The compression knit features a high content of Merino wool offering maximum wearing comfort.

Is this the right one for you?

Choose this if the pain is at the front, around or just below the kneecap — worst on stairs, squatting or after sitting.

Everyday ache or swelling? Bauerfeind GenuTrain Knee Brace is a lighter compression support.

Knee gives way or shifts? Bauerfeind GenuTrain S Knee Brace adds hinges for side-to-side stability.

Want something less rigid? Bauerfeind GenuPoint Knee Strap gives support you can move in more easily.

This is a medical-grade orthopaedic brace that incorporates rigid stays. Braces and orthoses built with rigid components are usually covered under Canadian extended health benefit plans (e.g. Sun Life, Manulife, Great-West Life, Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada) when accompanied by a valid prescription from your physician or nurse practitioner. It also delivers 20-30 mmHg of graduated compression. It may also qualify as an eligible medical expense under the CRA's Medical Expense Tax Credit. We're happy to provide a pre-approval form for your insurance provider — just contact us before ordering. Coverage details, annual limits, and prescription requirements vary by plan, so please confirm your specific benefits with your provider and keep your prescription and itemized receipt for your claim.

Two measurements, both taken with the knee slightly bent: around the thigh 14 cm above the middle of the knee, and around the calf 12 cm below it. Check this product's size chart below before ordering. If you're between sizes, contact us and we'll help you measure.

Machine wash in cold or cool water (about 30°C/86°F) on the gentle or delicate cycle
Wash with similar colours using a regular detergent with no additives -- avoid fabric softener
Use a mesh laundry bag, and secure hook-and-loop (velcro) tabs first to protect the knit
Hand washing is gentler and may extend the product's life
For light use, washing every two to three wears is enough; heavy use needs more frequent washing
Lay flat to air dry -- do not hang to dry (the fabric can stretch out of shape) and do not tumble dry
