Medi Genumedi Knee Support Silver 5 Genumedi

Why Choose the Medi Genumedi Knee Support?

A compression knee sleeve provides circumferential support and proprioceptive feedback — but for conditions where the patella is the primary source of pain or instability, a sleeve without targeted patella management is only partially effective. The Medi Genumedi is designed around this. The integrated silicone patella ring sits centred around the kneecap and applies gentle, targeted pressure that helps guide the patella through its normal tracking path during knee flexion and extension. This reduces the lateral deviation, tilting, and irregular contact that generate patellofemoral pain and inflammation. The anatomically shaped elastic knit of the sleeve provides graduated compression across the knee joint — supporting the soft tissue structures, reducing swelling, and improving joint awareness during movement. Anti-slip silicone dots at the upper and lower edges of the sleeve prevent it from sliding down during activity, maintaining correct patella ring placement throughout wear. Clima Comfort manages moisture and temperature at the skin surface, and Clima Fresh controls odour and bacterial growth for extended comfortable daily wear. Size 5 is in the medium-to-large fit range. Silver provides a neutral, unobtrusive colour for daily use under clothing or during activity.

Clinical & Typical Applications

Individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome requiring targeted patella stabilisation and guidance during daily movement and activity

Patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis experiencing pain and instability who benefit from combined compression and patella support

Post-injury or post-surgical knee patients in the recovery phase who require daily compression and patella stabilisation during return to activity

Active individuals with mild knee instability or meniscus irritation who need supportive daily wear during sport, work, or extended standing

Patients with knee swelling from synovitis, bursitis, or inflammation who require graduated compression combined with targeted patella pressure relief

Occupational therapists and physiotherapists recommending a daily compression knee support with patella ring for patients with knee pain and instability

Usage & Care

Sizing: Size 5 fits a medium-to-large knee circumference. Confirm measurements against Medi's Genumedi sizing chart before ordering — correct sizing is essential for the patella ring to be 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 to ensure it sits evenly. The anti-slip silicone dots should grip the skin above and below the knee.

Patella Ring Check: Confirm the silicone ring is correctly centred around the kneecap — not riding above or below it. Reposition the sleeve if necessary.

Wearing: Wear throughout the day as directed by your healthcare provider. Remove if the sleeve causes numbness, circulation impairment, or skin irritation.

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 the 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 position effectively.
