GenuTrain A3
The Bauerfeind GenuTrain A3 is a knee brace engineered for complex knee support needs. The "A3" stands for Anti, Arthros, Algos. It combines targeted stimulation, active muscle engagement, and mechanical support in a single, comfortable brace engineered in Germany.At the core of the design is a specially engineered pad with silicone friction nubs that stimulates the muscle-tendon transition in common areas of knee discomfort. This engages the joint-stabilising muscles, particularly the vastus medialis, and supports the sensorimotor system to improve joint control. An integrated strap within the pad acts as a corrective guide that supports correct patellar tracking.The intermittent compression created by the muscle-activating knit and pad provides a beneficial massage effect on the surrounding tissue with every movement. Anatomically contoured with breathable materials, very elastic edges, and a soft hollow of the knee for enhanced wearing comfort.

FAQs

What is Bauerfeind and why is it considered a premium brand?
Bauerfeind is a German sports and orthopaedic technology company founded in 1929 with over 95 years of expertise in support and compression technology. Every product is developed in direct collaboration with physicians, scientists, and elite athletes. Their patented flat-knit technology and anatomically contoured designs deliver precision compression through breathable, moisture-wicking fabric, a world apart from the cheap neoprene supports you'll find elsewhere.
What makes Bauerfeind braces different from standard neoprene supports?
Bauerfeind products use a proprietary knit fabric rather than neoprene, which means they're breathable, hypoallergenic, anti-odour, machine washable, and anatomically shaped to the joint, so there's no bunching, slipping, or heat build-up. They also feature patented innovations like the Omega+ viscoelastic pad in their GenuTrain knee brace, which provides a gentle massaging effect during movement to enhance proprioception and support comfort around the joint.
Is Bauerfeind trusted by professional athletes and sports teams?
Bauerfeind is the Officially Licensed Knee Brace of the NBA and has been the trusted choice of the National Basketball Athletic Trainers Association (NBATA) since 2003, with all 30 NBA teams purchasing Bauerfeind products for their players — NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki has been a global brand ambassador since 2017. Beyond basketball, Bauerfeind has been an official partner at the Olympic Games since 2002, providing supports, orthoses and compression products to hundreds of athletes across all participating nations at every Summer and Winter Games.
Who are Bauerfeind products suitable for, do I need to be an athlete?
Absolutely not. While Bauerfeind is trusted at the highest levels of professional sport, their range of knee, ankle, elbow, wrist and back supports, compression sleeves, and orthopaedic insoles is designed for anyone looking for quality joint support, improved comfort during activity, or better stability in everyday life. Their GenuTrain knee brace alone has helped millions of people worldwide, from weekend runners and hikers to office workers and retirees looking to stay active and comfortable.
How do I care for my Bauerfeind products and how long will they last?
Bauerfeind products are machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water — just avoid bleach and fabric softener, and air dry rather than tumble dry to maintain the elasticity and shape of the knit. Because of the premium German-engineered materials and construction, Bauerfeind braces are built to retain their compression, shape and effectiveness over extended use, making them a long-term investment in your joint health.
