Medi Genumedi Knee Support Sand 4

Why Choose the Medi Genumedi Knee Support – Sand, Size 4?

Size 4 is the mid-range configuration of the Genumedi — fitting a medium knee circumference that represents a large portion of the adult population requiring knee compression and patella support. The sand colour adds a practical consideration: it is a skin-tone-proximate neutral that reduces sleeve visibility under clothing, making it a natural choice for users who wear the brace at work, during professional activities, or in situations where visible compression equipment might draw attention. The therapeutic design of the Genumedi is consistent at every size — the anatomically shaped elastic knit applies graduated compression across the full knee joint, improving swelling management and proprioceptive awareness, while the integrated silicone patella ring provides the targeted kneecap guidance that distinguishes the Genumedi from plain compression sleeves. The patella ring applies gentle surrounding pressure that helps maintain the patella in its correct tracking path during knee movement — reducing the lateral deviation and femoral groove contact that generate patellofemoral pain. Anti-slip silicone dots hold the sleeve in position during activity. Clima Comfort and Clima Fresh support skin health and hygiene throughout extended daily wear.

Clinical & Typical Applications

Patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome, lateral patellar tracking issues, or chondromalacia patella in the mid-range knee size requiring daily patella ring support

Individuals with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis requiring correctly fitted graduated compression and patella stabilisation in the Size 4 range

Post-injury or post-surgical knee patients in the mid-range size requiring daily compression and patella ring support during rehabilitation

Active individuals with mild knee instability, meniscus irritation, or overuse conditions requiring daily compression support in a discreet sand colour for work or sport

Patients who prefer the sand colourway for reduced sleeve visibility under professional clothing or lighter fabrics

Physiotherapists and occupational therapists recommending the Genumedi in sand as a daily management option for patients with patellofemoral pain and mild to moderate knee instability

Usage & Care

Sizing: Size 4 fits a mid-range 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.
