Knee strap Ligastrap® Genu

Overview
Ligastrap® Genu is an elastic ligament knee brace designed to support and stabilise the knee, reduce pain and help control swelling. It is suitable for patients resuming sporting activities and for everyday support, providing guided application and medically graded compression.

Detailed description
Inspired by taping techniques, Ligastrap® Genu combines an anatomical elastic knit with a double functional strapping system and flexible lateral reinforcements to deliver targeted ligament support. The back of the knee incorporates a specific knit zone to improve comfort and mobility. Numbered dots on the straps and patented pull tabs facilitate correct and repeatable application.

Key Features

• Double functional strapping: provides additional ligament support and stabilisation.
• Anatomical elastic knit: comfort zones over the patella and popliteal area to reduce pressure points.
• Guided application: numbered strap markers and pull tabs for easy fitting.
• Medical-grade compression: 20–36 mmHg to aid swelling reduction and venous return.

Patient Benefits

• Support and stability during daily activities and sport.
• Pain relief through controlled compression and mechanical support.

Notes
