Retail Products: Braces & Supports
OmoLoc – Bauerfeind
OmoLoc®
Stabilizing orthosis for immobilization of the shoulder joint
The arm sling immobilizes the joint straight after surgery or after reduction of a dislocated shoulder. The open and light construction of the orthosis makes maintaining personal hygiene easier, particularly around the wound.
- holds the arm securely
- relieves pain
- can also be worn at night
PROTECTION FOR THE SHOULDER
The OmoLoc, made up of the pelvic/abdominal strap and three individually adjustable arm loops, holds the arm in the 0-degree abduction position and keeps the elbow bent at 90-100 degrees. Limiting movement reduces pain and stabilizes the surgical outcome. The arm loops can be positioned freely along the abdominal strap to suit the patient’s individual anatomy.
HIGH LEVEL OF COMFORT
The arm sling is easy to put on and can also be worn by the patient at night. The material is comfortable and does not cause skin irritation. No shoulder strap is required to wear the OmoLoc. This avoids incorrect posture and the related tension that occurs in the healthy shoulder.
GenuTrain S – Bauerfeind
GenuTrain® S
Active support with sidebars.
The GenuTrain S active support with lateral joint splints supports the knee joint for indications of slight instability, arthritis or osteoarthritis of the knee. An integral, ringshaped 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.
- stabilizes the knee joint and activates the muscles
- breathable Train Active Knit for high wearing comfort
- anatomically contoured bars for secure support
BARS FOR ADDED PROTECTION
In the GenuTrain S (S for splints), lateral joint splints guide the knee’s movements. The bars can be heated and reshaped and can therefore be adjusted to the anatomy of each individual. The joint muscles are stabilized further by the elastic Train Active Knit with its integral pad.
GUIDES AND MASSAGES
The integral elastic padded ring round the kneecap cannot slip. It helps to position the brace correctly and adapts itself to the angle of the knee joint during every movement. This produces a massage effect which activates the surrounding muscular tissue and stimulates circulation. The GenuTrain S, with its medically effective interaction of compression and massage, accelerates the reabsorption of edema and effusions. Muscular control is improved and the knee receives more stabilization.
GenuTrain – Bauerfeind
GenuTrain®
The new generation with visco-elastic Omega pad
The new generation with visco-elastic Omega pad. If your knee feels weak, is swollen or painful, the GenuTrain knee support can help you. It relieves pain, stabilizes the joint and helps to achieve faster mobilization. The GenuTrain is the original functional knee support and has undergone continuous further development since it was launched onto the market in 1981. The new generation with the Omega pad, a new functional cushion around the kneecap, is once again setting new standards. Further improvements have been made to the support, with the result that it is now better than ever at relieving pain and stabilizing the joint.
- pain relief
- secure hold for the knee joint
- pressure relief for the kneecap and reduction in pain at the meniscus
- anatomical fit and integrated donning aid
PAIN RELIEF AND STABILITY FOR THE KNEE JOINT
The GenuTrain orthopedic brace consists of an anatomically contoured knit and an integral, ring-shaped, functional visco-elastic cushion, the Omega pad. It relieves pain by providing the therapeutic pressure of the brace from the kneecap to the soft tissues of the knee. Two nubs on the lower edge of the pad, the Hoffa pads, exert pressure on the infrapatellar fat pad, thereby also increasing relief for the kneecap and enhancing the pain-relieving effect. Lateral wings extend into the joint space of the knee, providing targeted pain relief at the meniscus in this sensitive area.
When walking or running with the GenuTrain, the muscular contractions cause the pressure to rise and fall, thereby resulting in an effect which is similar to an intermittent compression massage. This stimulates the metabolism and helps to dispel swelling and hematomas more quickly. The brace also stimulates receptors in the soft tissue of the knee and on the skin. The surrounding musculature is also activated and effective, long-term stabilization for the joint is achieved.
THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF SHAPE AND FUNCTION
The material and shape of the GenuTrain orthopedic braces have an ingenious functional design for optimal effect and a high level of wearing comfort. The breathable, skin-friendly knit adapts to your every movement, without irritation or slipping. The material is far softer and more elastic in the sensitive flexion area of the hollow of the knee, and at the edges of the brace. Spiral stays at the sides make sure that the brace does not lose its shape during movement, while integrated donning aids make the braces easy to put on with little effort.
GenuTrain A3 – Bauerfeind
GenuTrain® A3
The active support for complex treatment of knee pain.
The GenuTrain A3 comfort support is suitable for treating various types of knee complaints: e.g. osteoarthritis, irritated knee joint, complex knee pain or misalignment of the kneecap (pa-tellar lateralization). Thanks to the anatomically shaped pad integrated in the elastic knit fabric (elastic pressure pad), the support gives the joint and muscles a targeted, healing intermittent compression massage on every movement.
- Massages and relieves knee pain
- Breathable Train active knit for high wearing comfort
- Ideal for active senior citizens
STABILIZES AND STIMULATES
GenuTrain A3 (“anti arthros algos” = “against joint pain”) uses intermittent compression massage to treat the typical pain points in the knee. The three-dimensional Train knit helps the muscular stabilization of the knee joint. The integrated visco-elastic pad prevents the kneecap from slipping, combats pain and massages the surrounding tissue. Edemas and effu-sions can be relieved more quickly.
EFFECTIVE AND COMFORTABLE
The construction of the GenuTrain A3 and the material used guarantee that the brace is both medically effective and a comfortable fit: with a softer knit in the hollow of the knee, pressure-reduced edges, breathable materials and an elastic shape adapted to suit the body shape. Two spiral stays located on the sides retain the shape of the brace. The skin underneath thus remains pleasantly dry, and nothing is constricted.
GenuTrain P3 – Bauerfeind
GenuTrain® P3
Active support for improved patellar tracking
GenuTrain P3 relieves pain caused by misalignment of the kneecap (patellar lateralization), anterior knee pain (patellofemoral pain syndrome) or pain associated with patellar tip syndrome. The active support, with its two integral massage pads and an adjustable corrective strap, holds the kneecap securely in a natural, central position, activates the musculature and thus speeds up the healing process.
- Secure kneecap guidance
- Relieves knee pain
- Stabilizes the knee joint
GETTING THE KNEECAP UNDER CONTROL
P3 stands for “permanent patella protection” – because the GenuTrain P3 protects the patella (kneecap) securely during every movement. The kneecap is centered using a specially shaped massage pad with high sides and inward-facing silicone dots for exerting pain-relieving compression on Hoffa’s fat pad. An adjustable corrective strap helps to protect the kneecap from drifting sideways and can be tightened to various degrees depending on the loading situation. A second wedge-shaped massage pad at the upper outside edge of the brace slightly eases the pressure on the tendons connected to the kneecap, thus minimizing the outward pull. This provides relief for the kneecap and support during its natural movement. The braces’s compressive knit and two pads exert a pain-relieving massage effect during movement, which helps to reduce swelling more quickly and activates the muscles that stabilize the joint.
OmoTrain – Bauerfeind
OmoTrain®
Active support for early functional treatment of the shoulder joint
For shoulder complaints following injury or surgery, or caused by osteoarthritis, OmoTrain stabilizes the shoulder joint and provides secure joint guidance during movement thanks to its special strap system. The support activates the muscles and exerts a beneficial intermittent compression massage on the soft tissues, thereby relieving pain. If required, a removable massage pad (Delta pad) can provide additional massage for specific pain spots.
- centers the shoulder joint
- relieves pain
- can be worn on the left or the right
PROTECTION FOR THE SHOULDER
In conservative treatment for the shoulder, secure guidance of the injured joint and carefully controlled mobilization are often key factors for successful healing. It is therefore also important to relieve pain in order to encourage mobility. With its compression knit and the tensile effect exerted by its special strap system, the OmoTrain centers the shoulder joint and protects it against painful circular movements. However, it also provides support for other movements, such as the lateral lifting of the arm, in order to strengthen the musculature. The full pain-relieving effect of the brace is produced during movement. During movement, the compression knit exerts a beneficial intermittent compression massage that activates the metabolism and helps to reduce swelling more quickly. The Delta pad increases this massage effect, thanks to its nubs and its joint-cavity ridge that have a targeted effect on specific pain spots. When necessary, the Delta pad can be attached into the support and positioned as required.
SUPPORTING MOVEMENT
The brace is easy to put on and take off thanks to its high elasticity, and it is secured to the upper body by means of a soft strap. The chest area is left free, so the brace is particularly comfortable to wear. The OmoTrain is available as a universal version and can therefore be worn on either the left or the right. The breathable, anatomically contoured compression knit adapts to fit the shoulder perfectly and does not cause discomfort during movement. Support is therefore provided for the healing process, pain is reduced and mobility improved.
LordoLoc – Bauerfeind
LordoLoc®
Stabilizing support for relief of the lumbar spine.
LordoLoc is suitable for use as a back support for the stabilization of the lumbar spine, for example in the event of chronic lumbar vertebral syndrome. The stabilizing orthosis with four 91/4″ integral anatomically contoured flexible lightweight aluminium stays has a muscle-activating effect, relieves the spine and is very low-profile. The degree of stabilization can be adjusted to provide optimal individual support to the lower back.
- Easy to put on and take off
- Material is very breathable and gentle on the skin
- Low-profile and discrete
LIGHT SUPPORT FOR THE LUMBAR REGION
LordoLoc is characterized by its extremely thin yet effective construction. The supple support consists of two adjustable straps and four 91/4″ corset stays made of flexible lightweight aluminum inserted at the back. The rods support the spine if an activation of the musculature alone is not sufficient. The tighter the upper strap is fastened, the greater the stabilization. The corset stays can be individually reshaped for a perfect fit. The stays provide extra support if muscular activation is not enough.
SOFT AND EFFECTIVE
Easy to fit, comfortable to wear: The support is opened and closed using Velcro fastenings with practical hand straps. The degree of compression exerted by the elastic tensioning straps depends upon their adjustment. The soft, thin and lightweight material sits comfortably and snugly against the body, without being particularly noticeable under the clothing. LordoLoc thus relieves the lower back perceptibly yet discretely.
LumboTrain – Bauerfeind
LumboTrain®
Active support for muscular stabilization of the lumbar spine.
Lumbago, sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD): there are many names for pain in the lower back. LumboTrain® active supports can help. The triangular friction pad in the support provides a stimulating massage effect to the muscles of the lower back with every movement to help to reduce tension in the lumbar region and relieve pain.
- Supports and massages the muscles of the lower back
- For treating pain and tension
- Comfortable, breathable knitted fabric
EFFECTIVE WITH NO SIDE EFFECTS
Many people who suffer from chronic back pain reach regularly for the painkillers. This can be harmful for their health. LumboTrain has no side effects. Wearing a LumboTrain® orthopedic brace is a helpful way of reducing back pain and becoming more mobile – with no need for pain medicine.
A HAND ON YOUR BACK
The three-dimensional knitted fabric of the LumboTrain® provides support in the lumbar region. The breathable, skin-friendly material adapts perfectly to fit any body shape. LumboTrain Lady is also specially designed for the female body. The soft edges ensure it will not dig into you, and even if you wear it for a long time, it feels as comfortable as a supporting hand on your back.
Velcro fastenings and practical hand straps allow for easy application and adjustment, even for people with arthritis.
RhizoLoc – Bauerfeind
RhizoLoc®
Stabilizing orthosis for stabilization of the thumb saddle and first metacarpophalangeal joints.
Following thumb joint injuries, such as tears or sprain to the collateral ligaments (“skier’s thumb”), or for indications of osteoarthritis (arthrosis of first carpometacarpal joint) or irritation, RhizoLoc stabilizes the thumb saddle and metacarpophalangeal joint. A Velcro® tab allows the mobility of the joint to be limited as treatment requires.
- comfortable and stable
- easy to put on and take off
- breathable material
GOOD NEWS FOR SKIER’S THUMB SUFFERERS!
The RhizoLoc thumb orthosis has an individually adaptable aluminum stay which stabilizes the thumb saddle and metacarpophalangeal joint. This allows for optimal healing of the affected collateral ligaments. A special Velcro tab can be adjusted in order to limit the movement of the metacarpophalangeal joint and to immobilize it as treatment requires.
SECURE AND COMFORTABLE
With its Velcro fastenings, the orthosis can easily be put on and taken off by the patient. The orthosis can be adapted to the patient’s individual thumb size by means of the adjustable thumb tab. The breathable material with its integral pores allows air to circulate, thereby preventing the skin underneath from becoming sweaty or itchy. The RhizoLoc therefore sits securely in an anatomically correct and comfortable position on the hand for effective therapy.
ManuTrain – Bauerfeind

WORKS WHILE YOU REST
ValguLoc works while your foot is resting: The anatomically contoured stabilizing orthosis helps to align your toe and is not suitable for walking. The half-shell construction also offers slight protection against external hazards. On the inside, low-fatigue cushioning increases wearing comfort and protects against pressure points.
AchilloTrain Pro – Bauerfeind
AchilloTrain® Pro
Active support with high-reaching friction insert.
AchilloTrain Pro systematically counteracts irritation to the Achilles tendon through support and compression. The support promotes muscular stabilization whilst a shaped insert (pad) with two wings and nubs massages the muscle-tendon transition. A groove running down the middle of the pad improves the drainage of edemas. Mobility is eased and assisted.
- Anatomically optimal shape
- Breathable material
- Supports and mobilizes
STABILITY AND FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
AchilloTrain Pro uses a therapeutically effective combination of stabilization and mobility. The continuous transition between compression and decompression during movement promotes healing and improves the interaction of nerves and muscles. This is assisted by the integral visco-elastic pad, which stimulates the tissue above the heel by means of the soft nubs and longitudinal grooves. To the right and left, two additional wings stimulate the upper third of the tendon and the muscle-tendon transition.
GENTE ON THE SKIN AND COMFORTABLE
The integral expansion zones in the anatomically contoured AchilloTrain Pro orthopedic brace make it easier to put on and take off; it can be worn on the right or the left. The breathable material increases wearing comfort. The short knitted section in the metatarsal area prevents pressure points.
MalleoTrain S – Bauerfeind
MalleoTrain® S
Active support for greater ankle stability and security during physical activity.
After an operation or in the event of slight sprains or repeated overloading, the ligaments of the foot are often weakened and require increased stabilization, which is provided by MalleoTrain S. The active support with individually adjustable strap system gives your ankle reliable support even whilst in motion and protects against the lateral twisting of the foot.
- Increased stability of the ankle on the move
- Breathable Train Active Knit for high wearing comfort
- Ideal for sport thanks to the protection against lateral twisting
RELIABLE SUPPORT FOR THE FOOT
The support’s breathable Train Active Knit is anatomically contoured and fits the foot perfectly. The compression effect of the knit aids the circulation and activates the surrounding musculature. The support thus stabilizes the foot without restricting mobility and is ideal for use during sporting activities. It fits into any trainer and helps to prevent further injury to the ankle during training or competition.
DYNAMIC STABILIZATION
Thanks to its individually adjustable strap system, the MalleoTrain S acts like a functional tape bandage. The strap is fastened around the foot in a figure-of-eight pattern, thus securing the connection of the mid- and hindfoot with the lower leg. Unlike the tape bandage, the strap is applied under tension and its protection can thus be individually adjusted. You can feel it guiding your foot and this protects against lateral twisting, positively influences your perception of your own movement and gives you back the feeling of security during load bearing.
