Serious support without the bulk?

The GenuTrain S adds side splints and straps for higher-grade stability, so getting your exact size right matters more than on a soft support. Use the size finder, and if anything about the fit is not right you have 30 days to exchange it.

“Since using the Bauerfeind brace, everything has changed. It genuinely feels like I have my old knee back again.”

Product details

The GenuTrain® S orthopedic brace with lateral joint splints supports the knee joint for indications of slight instability, arthritis or osteoarthritis of the knee. An integral, ring-shaped pressure cushion (pad) surrounds the kneecap, while the interplay of the knit and the pad provides intermittent compression massage, thereby activating the musculature and stimulating the healing process. The combination of joint bars and a strap system in the GenuTrain S provides added passive support for the knee.

  • Stabilises the knee joint and activates the muscles
  • Breathable Train Knit for high wearing comfort
  • Anatomically contoured bars for secure support

  • Three-dimensional fabric - Automatically conforms to the body’s natural shape for ideal fit and optimal joint stabilization.
  • Adjustable straps - Lets you control the amount of pressure, for a better fit and just the right amount of support.
  • Joint sidebars - Straps connect directly to sidebars for superior stability in the knee and surrounding area.
  • Viscoelastic pads - with a massage effect during movement
  • Soft knit fabric - Breathable knit is comfortable to wear and keeps moisture away from the body.
  • Reduced pressure at the edges - prevents constriction

Ideal for:

  • Arthritis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Osteoarthritis of the knee
  • Instability
  • Rheumatism
  • Rheumatoid arthritis

Between two sizes? Take the smaller one - a support needs to sit snug to give you the compression that does the work.

Customers praised the knee brace for "excellent quality" and strong support that helps with pain relief and stability during activities like walking, golf, and football. Many felt secure and able to strengthen their knees. However, several shoppers reported the side hinges caused bruising and discomfort, fabric tore quickly, and the brace sometimes slips down.

Product is 5*, but the material is only 2* - it’s a fantastic knee support that really works, but after only one month the fabric has torn - not impressed, very disappointing for the price, very disappointing customer service (no product replacement)

Thank you for the feedback, John - good to hear the support itself is doing its job, and we're sorry the fabric has let you down. We've passed your comments on to our product team, and if there's anything more we can help with, our customer service team at orders@jointoperations.co.uk is always happy to hear from you.

I had high hopes for this knee support which appeared to fit well and also provide good stability. However I was very disappointed to have some bruising on one side of knee bone after only an hour of tennis. The padding around the internal hinge joint area is too thin, enabling undue rubbing pressure against the knee. This is a design flaw which could have easily been overcome with thicker padding around the hinge joint. I will have to return to using my old support for tennis. I notice some other reviewers have had the same problem.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience with the GenuTrain S Knee Brace. We are sorry to hear that you experienced bruising and discomfort while wearing it during tennis. We appreciate your feedback on the padding around the hinge joint and will definitely pass it on to our design team for future improvements. If you need any assistance with returning the product, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team. Thank you again for your honest review.

I have been using the GenuTrain S knee brace for several years. I bought these to replace these as they are slowly wearing out. They served me well, help to stabilize my sore knees when playing golf.

Great product when onbut have to put Velcro so tight to stop it falling down it fits leg perfectly but keeps dropping down over the day which is such a shame because when in position it’s great

It certainly takes some of the pain away. Gives me more confidence when walking and I can go up shallow stairs properly and not one step at a time. So far so good.

Not really had the effect I was hoping for. Expensive mistake.

High quality and very well made brace. It helped with my pain and allowed me to stay on my feet and walk for longer now.

Only complaint is about the hinge part on the side of the brace - it is supposed to stabilize the knee from the side (and it does) but it also means it rubs and press heavily against my knee causing chafing, tenderness and pain. I don't know if it's just a me and my knee kind of thing or simply a lack of sufficient padding in this area on the inside of the brace. I think it's the latter or maybe a bit of both, but that's just a personal opinion.

Overall an excellent product.

Really good product. High quality materials and very supportive. I used it when I had a bucket handle tear in my lateral meniscus and 50% tear in ACL and it made a huge difference.

t
t.a.

I’ve been dealing with ongoing issues after an ACL injury (non-surgical), trying to get back to playing football once a week. My knee would often lock up, give way during certain movements, and swell up with pain after games.

Since using the Bauerfeind brace, everything has changed. It genuinely feels like I have my old knee back again. The support is incredible — no more instability, and the post-game swelling has significantly reduced. This has honestly been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It’s more than just a brace — it’s an investment in getting back to doing what I love.

Now, friends and family are also ordering different braces from Bauerfeind after seeing my results. I’ve even ordered a second one myself. Highly recommended!

Excellent brace , really sturdy and strong. Does not slip down your knee like other braces do. Feels like it will last a long time as is great quality . Only downside for me personally is the side hinges leave me with large brown bruises either side of my knee after sports from crushing against my knee so would not advise this brace for any sort of physical contact sport .

Excellent brace for the knee. Allows movement but keeps knee cap in the correct position.

I have many leg wraps and braces and this one is the only one that has proved to offer releif and confort.. I am ordering another spare tday. I had a torn meniscus a few years ago and now have developed arthritis. This one truly works and is so comfortable. The one the DR gave me pinched my bones and my knees still swelled up. If you are hurting and feel hopeless I would try this one. You will be so glad you did. I love mine and can walk again in comfort without having to take pain meds!

Common questions

The things people ask us most before ordering.

What happens if I order the wrong size?

Send it back within 30 days for a full refund, or email orders@jointoperations.co.uk and we'll swap it for the right size.

Measuring before you order is the quickest route - the size finder on this page turns two tape-measure numbers into a size in about twenty seconds.

Can I wear it under clothing?

Yes. The knit is low-profile and designed to sit under trousers, leggings or a tracksuit without bunching. Most people wear it all day without anyone noticing.

How do I wash it?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with any fasteners closed. No fabric softener and no tumble drying - dry it flat, away from direct heat.

Washing it regularly actually helps: it lifts the body oils out of the knit and the compression holds its shape for longer.

How long should I wear it for?

Most people wear a support during activity and take it off to sleep. If a clinician recommended it to you, follow their guidance - they'll have a plan for your particular situation.

If you've bought it yourself for ongoing pain and you're not sure, it's worth getting the underlying problem looked at rather than relying on the support alone.

When will it arrive?

Standard delivery takes 3-4 working days and is free on orders over £95. Order before 12:30pm Monday to Thursday for next-day delivery.

Orders placed before 12:30pm on a working day are dispatched the same day; after the cut-off, or at the weekend, they go out on the next working day.

Can I claim it back on insurance or through work?

Some private health policies and occupational health schemes cover orthopaedic supports when they've been recommended by a clinician. We can send an itemised VAT invoice for your claim - just email us with your order number.

Can I buy wholesale for my clinic or shop?

Yes. We're the UK distributor for Bauerfeind, and we supply retailers, clinics, pharmacies and physiotherapy practices directly. Send us a trade enquiry and we'll come back with pricing and account terms.
