Active and passive stabilization of the kneejoint – ideal for long-term treatment SofTec® Genu is a multifunctional orthosis for stabilization of the knee. It is used, for example,in cases of torn ligaments, collateral ligament injury or arthritis.

SofTec Genu can be cleaned separately by hand washing with a mild detergent at 20-30 ° C. To do this, the hinged splints must first be removed from the side pockets. Proceed as follows: Open the two thigh straps. Pull the straps out of the plastic loops. Secure the ends of the strap by turning them over. The side pockets can now be opened by pulling the entire Velcro area to the side. Remove the two splints. Attention: Remember that the splints are shaped to fit the body and are therefore different. The hinged splints are color-coded according to their assignment and must be reinserted into the same side pockets from which they were removed after the washing process. Before washing, guide the straps back through the plastic loops and close all Velcro fasteners so that the later hook-and-loop ability is not impaired. After washing and drying the SofTec Genu, insert the hinged splints back into the side pockets. The colored marking of the hinged splints and the colors of the inner pockets must match. The upper, color-coded part of the joint splint must be pushed back under the color-coded inner pocket. Now close the side pockets.
