Medi Genumedi Knee Support Silver 3 Genumedi

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

Size 3 in the Genumedi range fits a small-to-medium knee circumference — and getting the fit right is what separates a therapeutic knee support from one that simply adds bulk without benefit. A sleeve that is too large will allow the patella ring to shift out of position during movement, negating its stabilising effect. A sleeve that is too small will constrict rather than support. Size 3 is correctly proportioned for smaller knees, ensuring the anatomically shaped knit sits flush against the joint surface and the silicone patella ring consistently centres over the kneecap during movement. The patella ring applies gentle, targeted pressure that guides the kneecap through its correct tracking path — particularly important in patellofemoral pain syndrome where lateral tracking and irregular contact with the femoral groove are the primary sources of pain and inflammation. The graduated compression of the sleeve reduces swelling, improves proprioception, and provides a level of joint support appropriate for mild to moderate knee instability, post-injury recovery, and active daily use. Anti-slip silicone dots prevent sleeve migration. Clima Comfort and Clima Fresh manage skin comfort and hygiene during extended daily wear. Silver for neutral daily use.

Clinical & Typical Applications

Patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome, chondromalacia patella, or lateral patellar tracking issues requiring daily targeted patella ring support in a smaller knee size

Individuals with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis in a smaller frame requiring the Size 3 Genumedi for correct compression and patella support

Post-injury and post-surgical patients in the smaller knee size range requiring daily knee compression and patella stabilisation during rehabilitation and return to activity

Active individuals with mild knee instability or meniscus irritation who require daily compression support for sport, work, or extended standing

Physiotherapists and occupational therapists recommending a Genumedi knee sleeve with patella ring for patients with smaller knee dimensions and patellofemoral pain

Patients in the Size 3 fit range for whom standard larger-size compression sleeves have not provided correct fit or effective patella ring positioning

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 fit and patella ring positioning.

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 silicone ring is centred over the kneecap before activity. Reposition if necessary.

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.
