Air-cushioned ankle orthosis for acute cases
Combined with shoes, AirLoc stabilizes the ankle and prevents recurring sprains following an acute injury. Two anatomically contoured, cushioned plastic shells are connected flexibly below the heel, allowing the orthosis to adapt perfectly to the width of the foot. Thanks to an inflatable air cushion integrated into the outer shell, AirLoc’s shape can be individually adjusted to the degree of swelling when putting on the orthosis.
Protection for the healing ankle
Particularly for recent injuries or in the period immediately following surgery, your ankle needs special protection. AirLoc stabilizes the ankle with two anatomically contoured plastic shells lined with extensive cushioning on the inside. These are connected flexibly below the heel and fixed to the lower leg using two Velcro straps that are wound around the ankle and lower leg.
An additional air cushion ensures that the orthosis not only adapts to the width of your foot but also the degree of swelling on the injured ankle. Using the integrated pump and a release valve, the air cushions, and therefore the fit of the orthosis, can be adjusted as needed throughout the entire recovery process. Nevertheless, AirLoc has a slim design and easily fits into various types of shoes. The orthosis comes in a universal size and can be worn on the right or left foot.
Fit again faster
When you wear AirLoc with a closed shoe, the plastic splints protect your ankle against further sprains. With its perfect fit, the ankle orthosis guarantees contact over a large area, which positively influences sensorimotor function. This allows you to control your muscles more efficiently, stabilizing your foot with your own strength. AirLoc gives you the confidence to move correctly and without fear despite your recent injury, enabling you to find your way back into your usual day-to-day life. After all, the golden rule for optimal recovery is: being active is key to good health!

GenuTrain® - Knee Brace
Knee support for active stabilization and targeted pain relief
The new-and-improved GenuTrain provides secure support for mild instability and relieves knee pain and swelling.
With a new Omega+ pad, the support provides targeted stimulation to sensitive areas of the knee that influence pain perception and mobility. Its anatomically-contoured knitted fabric with soft textured surface provides gentle massage and activates the body’s proprioceptors to keeps the support in place. Embedded stays with flexible bending zones and donning and doffing aids ensure a secure fit and make the support easy to put on and take off. GenuTrain is soft, breathable and moisture-wicking, especially in the sensitive area in the back of the knee, for all-day wearing comfort.
With medical-grade compression provided by a comfortable knitted fabric, the GenuTrain knee brace produces intermittent massage during movement, relieving knee pain and stimulating the body’s metabolic response. This improves circulation to bring more oxygenated blood to the affected tissue and reduces pain and swelling in and around the knee.
GenuTrain’s uniquely-engineered design activates the body’s own stabilization mechanisms: Its soft knitted fabric is anatomically-contoured and texturized to ensure full contact with the skin, engaging proprioceptors that send signals to the brain. This feedback leads to improved control of the muscles stabilizing the joint.
GenuTrain’s new-and-improved Omega+ pad protects and encases the kneecap, stabilizing the joint and massaging the surrounding tissue during movement. This feature enhances the pain-relieving and sensorimotoric effect of the support by stimulating two sensitive areas of the knee: the Hoffa’s fat pad and the base of the meniscus. In these Hoffa spots and meniscus wings, the viscoelastic gel material incorporates flexible massage nubs, providing additional selective stimuli during movement to counteract unnatural corrective habits.
The GenuTrain knee support remains securely in position. Lateral plastic stays embedded in the brace have flexible bending zones that follow the user’s movement patterns and stretch the knitted fabric around the knee so it does not slip. Donning and doffing aids integrated into the stays make it easier to put the support on and take it off. Thanks to compression-reduced edges and a soft, airier knitted comfort zone in the hollow of the knee, GenuTrain is comfortable to wear, even during longer periods of intensive movement during the day.

Sports Ankle Support
Stabilizes the ankle and relieves pain during activity.
The Sports Ankle Support's figure-8 strap system provides individually adjustable stabilization similar to athletic taping. It’s more durable, easier to apply and seamlessly fits inside shoes, while also maintaining its stability during rigorous activities.
Effective Relief From Shin Splints
Medial tibial stress syndrome, also known as shin splints, is a common source of pain for many runners and athletes. Its contributing factors include ankle laxity, previous injuries or repetitive stress on the tibia and the connective tissues that attach surrounding muscles to the bone.
The Sports Ankle Support stabilizes the ankle without changing its natural gait or limiting the range of motion. This enhanced stability reduces the stress on the tibia, thus relieving pain. A clinical survey found that the Sports Ankle Support brought the average pain level by shin splints from 7.8/10 to 1/10 after just four weeks.
Enhanced Breathability, Compression and Comfort
Bauerfeind’s AirKnit fabric is lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking and washable, which allows you to comfortably wear the Sports Ankle Support time after time. Its textured compression stabilizes the ankle while allowing maximum freedom of movement, making it ideal for walkers, runners and athletes of all levels.
