Leading the Way in Medical Bracing Since 1981

Whether you’re seeking clinical-grade support for rehabilitation or everyday movement, our braces deliver reliable, clinically backed results.

Since the release of the first-generation GenuTrain, Bauerfeind has become a global leader in medical-grade braces and supports. Our products are engineered to reduce pain, control swelling, improve joint stability and support safe, confident movement.

Braces for Knees, Backs, Shoulders, Ankles, Elbows & More

Our braces and supports are designed to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• ACL, MCL and ligament injuries
• Meniscus tears
• Tendinitis and overuse strain
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Arthritis and joint degeneration
• Post-operative recovery
• Joint instability or weakness
• General pain from sport or daily activity

Whether you need compression, targeted support pads, lightweight splints or range-of-motion stabilisation, our braces are engineered to support your recovery at every stage.

Award-Winning German Design & Quality

Every Bauerfeind brace is designed, knitted and engineered in our world-leading facility in Zeulenroda, Germany. Our quality controls ensure:

• No weak points
• Long-lasting elasticity
• Reliable performance during movement
• Easy care and excellent durability

This is why Bauerfeind is trusted in medical clinics, elite sport and rehabilitation centres worldwide.

Backed by Medical Research

Each brace is continuously refined using clinical research, biomechanical testing and real-world data. We do not create many generic versions or updates yearly. Instead, we focus on improving designs based on research. Our goal is to achieve better stability, reduce pain, and enhance functional movement.

All-Day Comfort You Can Feel

A brace only works if you actually wear it – that’s why comfort is at the core of every design. Our supports feature:

• Breathable, soft medical knit
• Anatomical shaping for a secure fit
• Adjustable straps and lightweight splints
• Low-profile designs suitable for daily wear
• Sensitive zones around pressure points (e.g., back of knee)

The result is a brace you can wear confidently, all day long.

Pain Relief and Better Stability

Our braces work by stimulating muscles, improving proprioception, relieving pressure on painful structures and supporting natural joint alignment. This reduces pain, enhances control and helps you move more freely.

Precise Anatomical Fit

Using measurements from more than 500,000 people worldwide, Bauerfeind offers one of the most accurate sizing systems in the industry. Your brace fits your body – not the other way around.

Will these take away my pain?

Bauerfeind's range of supports and braces have been clinically proven to reduce pain and discomfort. Each and every person has a different experience of pain based on their injury, medical history and general constitution, so the level of pain reduction can vary from person to person.

Can I wear these anywhere?

All our braces are made with incredibly durable materials of the highest quality. Suitable for wear on the ground, in the water or leaping through the air, there's virtually no activity that can't be done with our supports on.

What makes these better than other braces?

When it comes to quality, especially in medical products, few countries, if any, have the reputation that Germany does. With unparalleled engineering and design drawing on over 90 years of research and development, Bauerfeind's range of supports and braces has been made to the highest standard, so there's no compromise in effectiveness or medical support.

How do I take care of these products?

Virtually all of our products can be machine washed on a cold gentle cycle and air dried out of direct sunlight. Putting them on and taking them off carefully is recommended, and for specific product care, refer to the product manual or contact our friendly staff.

Is there warranty for these products?

Every Bauerfeind product is crafted with precision and care and is covered by a manufacturing warranty in accordance with Consumer Law. Warranty periods may vary subject to product range. At any point if you've got issues with the product or aren't sure if something is wrong, just contact our helpful staff.

How do I know they'll fit?

Bauerfeind have an incredibly extensive sizing system for our products based off of hundreds of thousands of patient measurements. The perfect anatomic fit system we use means that the supports are designed to fit your body, not the other way around. (We also offer custom options for a range of our products for those rare few who still can't fit into our sizing range).
