Medi Genumedi Knee Support Sand 5

Why Choose the Medi Genumedi Knee Support – Sand, Size 5?

The Genumedi in Sand at Size 5 is designed for the medium-to-large knee circumference range in a warm, neutral colour that integrates naturally with everyday clothing. Sand is a skin-tone-proximate colour that is less visible under light-coloured or thin fabrics than silver, making it a preferred choice for users who want their compression sleeve to be as discreet as possible during daily wear. The therapeutic design is identical to other Genumedi variants: the anatomically shaped elastic knit delivers graduated compression across the full knee joint, and the integrated silicone patella ring provides targeted guidance and stabilisation of the kneecap during movement. Size 5 fits the medium-to-larger knee circumference at the correct anatomical dimensions — ensuring the sleeve sits flush against the joint surface and the patella ring consistently centres over the kneecap during flexion and extension. This targeted patella support is the defining feature of the Genumedi: it applies gentle pressure that helps guide the patella through its correct tracking path, reducing the lateral deviation and irregular femoral contact responsible for patellofemoral pain and inflammation. Anti-slip dots prevent sleeve migration. Clima Comfort and Clima Fresh support comfort and hygiene during extended daily wear.

Usage & Care

Sizing: Size 5 fits a medium-to-large knee circumference. Confirm measurements against Medi's Genumedi sizing chart before ordering to ensure correct sleeve fit and patella ring placement.

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.
