Medi Genumedi Knee Support Sand 3

Why Choose the Medi Genumedi Knee Support – Sand, Size 3?

Size 3 in the Genumedi range serves the small-to-medium knee circumference — individuals who need correctly fitted compression and patella support below the standard mid-range sizing. The sand colour provides a practical advantage in daily wear: as a skin-tone-proximate neutral, it is less visible under clothing than silver, particularly under lighter-coloured or thinner garments. For users who wear their knee sleeve throughout a full workday — including in professional or client-facing environments — this distinction matters. The therapeutic design is consistent across all Genumedi sizes and colourways. The anatomically shaped elastic knit applies graduated compression across the entire knee joint, reducing swelling and improving proprioceptive feedback. The integrated silicone patella ring provides the key functional differentiation: targeted, consistent pressure around the kneecap that helps guide the patella through its correct tracking path during knee movement. For patients with patellofemoral pain, chondromalacia, or lateral tracking deviation, this targeted guidance is the primary therapeutic mechanism. Size 3 ensures the ring is correctly proportioned and positioned for smaller knee circumferences where standard or larger sizes would shift, bunch, or place the ring incorrectly. Anti-slip dots hold the sleeve. Clima Comfort and Clima Fresh manage comfort and hygiene.

Usage & Care

Sizing: Size 3 fits a small-to-medium knee circumference. Confirm measurements against Medi's Genumedi sizing chart before ordering to ensure correct sleeve fit and patella ring alignment.

Application: Step into the sleeve from below and slide upward until the silicone patella ring is centred over the kneecap. Smooth the sleeve evenly.

Patella Ring Check: Confirm the ring is centred over the kneecap before activity. Reposition the sleeve if needed.

Wearing: Wear throughout the day as directed. Remove if numbness, tingling, or skin irritation develops.

Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with mild detergent. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or iron. Air dry flat.

Replacement: Replace when the sleeve has lost elasticity, the patella ring has deformed, or the anti-slip dots no longer hold effectively.
