Medi Genumedi Knee Support Silver 4 Genumedi

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

Effective knee compression for patellofemoral conditions depends on two things: the sleeve applying correct circumferential pressure across the joint, and the patella ring being precisely positioned over the kneecap where it can guide and stabilise movement. Both require correct sizing. Size 4 in the Genumedi range fits a medium calf and thigh circumference at the knee — ensuring the sleeve sits correctly on the joint and the silicone patella ring aligns with the kneecap rather than sitting too high, too low, or off-centre. The silicone patella ring applies gentle, targeted pressure around the kneecap during knee movement, helping to maintain the patella in its correct tracking path and reducing the lateral deviation and irregular contact that produce patellofemoral pain. The anatomically shaped knit delivers graduated compression across the entire knee joint structure, reducing swelling and improving proprioceptive joint awareness. Silver is a neutral colour appropriate for daily wear under trousers, shorts, or athletic wear. Anti-slip silicone dots prevent the sleeve from migrating during activity, keeping the patella ring in correct position. Clima Comfort and Clima Fresh support comfortable extended daily wear.

Usage & Care

Sizing: Size 4 fits a medium knee circumference. Confirm measurements against Medi's Genumedi sizing chart before ordering — correct sizing ensures the patella ring is positioned 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 on both sides of the knee.

Patella Ring Check: Confirm the silicone ring is centred around the kneecap before commencing activity. Reposition the sleeve if the ring has shifted during application.

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

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 component integrity.

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