#SizeMatters: How to find your perfect size and fit for Bauerfeind Bracing & Compression

 

When it comes to bracing and compression, it is vital to acquire the right fit and size of the product as it affects the amount of pressure, stability, comfort and effectiveness of the product. The tendency of wearing loose or tight garments can lead to problems such as slipping, discomfort, and more pain. The road to recovery is made easier when all the steps you take are correct.  

Orthosis are limited to only a few sizes, but Bauerfeind developed an extensive sizing system based on real measurements from more than 500,000 different people around the world 

TECHNOLOGY BEHIND BAUERFEIND PRODUCTS

Bauerfeind products are designed for an anatomically precise fit that adapts to most body sizes and shapes. Our patented flat-knit technology has been engineered to create anatomically contoured braces and supports that provide targeted compression where it’s needed most. This was done with thorough research with the help of our BodyTronic 3D scanning system. BodyTronic is one of the most accurate method of measurement to find your perfect brace size.

BODYTRONIC 600 & 610

For our Australia-based customers and patients, you can try the cutting-edge technology and experience getting the most precise measurements with Bauerfeind products at our flagship store in Sydney CBD! 

The Bodytronic 600 digital measurement system creates a highly accurate 3D scan of your lower body which provides precise anatomical measurements for that perfect fit guarantee. 
 
The system projects infrared light as you stand on a revolving measurement platform. The beams display a grid on the skin that is then used to generate a highly accurate 3D model. This model can then be used to determine exact sizing needs, as well as to identify areas of asymmetry and track changes over time. 

OTHER WAYS TO GET THE PERFECT FIT 

The products on our website have measuring and fit guides, to help you find the correct size. The sizing guide will walk you through the process of measuring your body to find the best fit. On the product page, you will see two ways you may be guided with in choosing the right size including referring to the size chart that includes measurements of each size available, and, a sizing video to further aid in measuring the specific body part (we have included the most popular products sizing videos below).
