This is the result of the company‘s consistent efforts to innovate, maintain a consistently high standard of product quality and employ the best-qualified staff. Bauerfeind has taken on the mission of using modern orthopedic technology to make leading an active and pain free life a reality, even well into old age. Bauerfeind’s therapeutic orthopedic supports and orthoses set the standard for medical aids right from the start. Active Supports Whenever joint problems stop movement, Train active supports help restore mobility. Bauerfeind‘s Train product group offers anatomically knitted compression supports with viscoelastic inserts. Activity is not restricted – on the contrary. Train active supports work with the body to exert a therapeutic effect. The intermittent massage combined with the compression exerted by the specially knitted fabric helps stimulate circulation, enhance metabolism and thus accelerate recovery. We have all the main joints covered with our Train active supports. The breathable materials and quality workmanship are additional features that ensure maximum wearer comfort. ...Loc Stabilizing Orthoses The Loc product group includes both splints and orthoses. The focus of the products in this category is stability. This concept characterizes the main features of the Loc group, leading to the following intended benefits: relief, stabilization and support. The Loc products work in a fundamentally different way from the Train active supports, which primarily employ the principle of compression therapy. All Loc products incorporate supporting elements such as metal or plastic bars and are made from modern, breathable materials. As with the Train active supports, Loc stabilizing orthoses are available for the medical management of all of the principal joints. They offer support during recovery from injuries, degenerative changes and surgery, as well as provide new levels of mobility. SecuTec®...

Maximum knee width is measured at the femoral condyle using the MOS Genu Orthometer (without applying pressure). The orthosis size is read off from the inspection window. If the measurement is on the border between two sizes, the degree of swelling or atrophy and the width of the other knee should be taken into consideration.
