Bauerfeind SecuTec Genu Dorsal Knee Brace

$1,160.00

The SecuTec® Genu Dorsal is the back-applied version of Bauerfeind's rigid knee orthosis. It is prescribed when a knee has to be held and guided from the outside — after a torn or reconstructed ligament, a collateral ligament injury or meniscus surgery — and its hinges can be set to limit how far the knee bends and straightens.

The frame is a light aluminium alloy, so the orthosis stabilises firmly while staying slim enough to wear under trousers. Breathable, non-slip pads hold it on the leg, and an orthotist can reshape the frame to your leg and offload the inner or outer side of the joint.

What makes this the dorsal version is the calf shell: it sits behind the lower leg and its self-regulating inclination angle adapts to the shape of the calf muscle, which gives a secure fit and keeps pressure off the front edge of the shin bone. The frontal version, which is put on from the front, is listed separately. Like every Bauerfeind product, it is made in Germany.

Is this the right one for you?

Choose this if a ligament is torn or has been repaired — the cruciate ligaments inside the knee, or the ones at the sides.

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

Prescribed a brace after surgery? Bauerfeind GenuLoc Knee Immobilizer holds the knee still or limits how far it bends.
