Medi Genumedi Knee Support Silver 1 Genumedi

Why Choose the Medi Genumedi Knee Support – Silver, Size 1?

Size 1 is the extra-small configuration of the Genumedi — the smallest size in the range, designed for individuals with the smallest knee circumferences who require compression and patella support correctly proportioned to their anatomy. For smaller-framed individuals, adolescents, or anyone who falls outside the standard sizing range of typical compression sleeves, a correctly sized sleeve is not simply a comfort consideration — it is a therapeutic requirement. An oversized sleeve will ride down during activity, shift the patella ring away from the kneecap, and fail to provide the compression gradient it is designed to deliver. Size 1 solves this by providing a Genumedi that fits correctly from the start. The silicone patella ring centres around the kneecap and applies the gentle targeted pressure that helps guide the patella through correct tracking during knee flexion and extension — reducing patellofemoral pain, lateral tracking deviation, and kneecap pressure from irregular contact. The anatomically shaped knit delivers graduated compression across the full knee joint for swelling management and proprioceptive support. Anti-slip silicone dots at the top and bottom edges hold the sleeve in position during activity. Clima Comfort and Clima Fresh manage skin comfort and hygiene.

Key Features

• Integrated silicone patella ring for targeted kneecap guidance and stability
• Anatomically shaped elastic knit with graduated compression across the full knee joint
• Size 1 — extra-small fit range for the smallest knee circumferences in the Genumedi range
• Anti-slip silicone dots at upper and lower edges prevent sleeve migration during activity
• Silver colour for neutral, discreet daily wear
• Clima Comfort technology regulates moisture and temperature during extended wear
• Clima Fresh technology reduces odour and bacterial growth during daily use
• Slip-on design for simple application and removal

Benefits

• Silicone patella ring guides correct kneecap tracking and reduces patellofemoral pain
• Size 1 provides therapeutic compression and patella ring alignment for the smallest knee circumferences
• Graduated compression reduces swelling and improves proprioceptive joint awareness
• Anti-slip dots prevent sleeve migration to maintain correct patella ring position
• Clima technologies support all-day comfort and freshness during extended wear
• Correctly fitted Size 1 avoids the sleeve migration and patella misalignment caused by using a larger size

Clinical & Typical Applications

Patients with smaller knee circumferences — including smaller-framed adults and adolescents — with patellofemoral pain syndrome or lateral patellar tracking issues requiring daily patella ring support

Individuals with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis or joint instability in the extra-small knee size range who need correctly proportioned compression and patella support

Post-injury knee patients in the Size 1 range requiring daily compression and patella stabilisation during rehabilitation and return to activity

Active individuals with mild knee instability, overuse injury, or meniscus irritation in the extra-small size range requiring a compression sleeve that fits correctly during sport or daily activity

Physiotherapists and occupational therapists recommending the Genumedi for patients with smaller knee dimensions where standard adult sizes are too large for correct therapeutic fit

Patients who have experienced sleeve migration, patella ring displacement, or insufficient compression with larger sizes and are being correctly sized into Size 1

Usage & Care

Sizing: Size 1 is the extra-small configuration. Confirm measurements against Medi's Genumedi sizing chart before ordering — correct fit is essential for the patella ring to centre correctly over the kneecap.

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

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

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 to preserve knit structure and silicone integrity.

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