• Two-part pad system for easy patellar guidance and specific reduction of pressure and tension at the tip of the patella and the tibial tuberosity
• Offset strap system for balanced pressure distribution 
• Pressure exerted by the integrated silicone dot coating stimulates proprioception to increase quadriceps muscle tone
• Proprioceptive compression for reliable guidance and stabilisation of the joints
• Contains Semi Rigid Material 

The silicone pads in the Genumedi PSS relieve the pressure on the kneecap and, in conjunction with the knitted fabric's compression, produce a massaging effect. This effect encourages circulation through the joint and therefore helps reduce swelling and effusions and alleviate irritation and pain. It simultaneously helps improve muscular control and the body's own stabilisation of the knee joint. The pressure applied by the additional belt strap and the pad under it reduces tension on the patellar tendon thus creating relief for the tendon insertions and alleviating pain.

Supports are most beneficial during physical activity.

Indications

• Patellar tendinitis (Jumper's Knee)
• Osgood-Schlatter disease
• Patellofemoral pain syndrome
• Following injury to the patellar tendon

Contraindications

• Diseases or injuries of the skin in the area of use, especially with inflammatory symptoms (excessive warming, swelling or reddening)
• Sensitivity and perfusion disorders of the legs or feet (e.g. in the case of diabetes)
• Lymph outflow disorders, as well as undiagnosed swellings of soft tissues, apart from the area of use.
