Genu Arexa Knee Brace

An operation is usually unavoidable after a ligament injury in the knee, such as tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament. The Genu Arexa knee brace optimally supports each phase of the healing process after surgery but also during conservative treatment without an operation. It not only prevents undesirable movements, but also restores your safety and confidence in your own mobility. Furthermore, it permits a controlled transition from your first steps after the operation to full weight bearing. The knee brace can also be worn at night and during physiotherapy exercises.

Why do doctors, O&P professionals and patients rely on the Genu Arexa? Because it is easy to use: its self-adapting plastic shells perfectly mould themselves to the shape of the user’s leg the first time the brace is worn, and numbered straps make it simpler to put on and take off. Plus, it features a user-oriented, multiple award-winning design and can be easily adapted without any tools.
