- What is the difference between the GenuTrain P3 and the standard GenuTrain?
- The P3 adds a strap system and a patella pad aimed at kneecap tracking problems, while the standard GenuTrain is a simpler compression sleeve for general knee support.
- How do I choose the right size?
- Bauerfeind sizes by knee circumference measured above and below the kneecap. Measure both and pick the size that fits your larger measurement; the brace is anatomical, so left and right matter.
- Can I wear it while running?
- Yes. It is designed for active use and is commonly worn for running and hiking. Tighten the straps so they are snug but not painfully tight.
- Is it machine washable?
- Yes, wash it on a gentle cycle in a laundry bag and air dry. Do not tumble dry or use fabric softener, which can damage the knit and pad.
- Does it replace a hinged brace after surgery?
- No. It is a soft support for patellar pain and mild instability, not a rigid hinged brace for ligament reconstruction or post-operative immobilization. Ask your clinician which type you need.
- Can I wear it on either knee?
- The GenuTrain P3 is made in left and right versions with an anatomical fit, so order the side that matches the knee you are supporting.
