The Innovation and Technology Behind Bauerfeind Products

Read about and feel the Bauerfeind difference.

A commitment to innovation

At Bauerfeind all our products are developed at our innovation centre and manufacturing facility in Zeulenroda, Germany. Based on years of scientific research each item is subject to rigorous testing and quality control checks. And every item is crafted using the highest quality materials with extreme attention to detail at every stage of the design and production process.

Our patented knits are constructed using state of the art manufacturing equipment and then finished by hand. It’s this commitment to excellence that ensures all of our products are comfortable, durable and most importantly, effective.

Fabric with a difference

Our innovative, flat-knit design is crafted to fit the body’s natural contours, delivering precise compression exactly where it’s needed. This unique construction helps stimulate muscles, improve circulation, and support joints, ensuring tissues receive essential oxygen and nutrients for optimal performance.

For medical use, our 3D Air Knit provides gentle yet effective support, helping reduce discomfort, lower the risk of reinjury, and assist you safely through rehabilitation exercises.

For sports and training, our Active Train Knit helps minimise muscle fatigue, accelerate recovery, and protect against injury. Plus, its moisture-wicking properties keep you dry and comfortable, even during the toughest workouts.

Patented Gel Pads

We’ve developed a range of specialised silicone pads- like the Omega+, Hoffa, Patella, and Achilles - that target sore or tense areas as you move. Working together with our compression knit, they help stimulate muscles, support your joints, and ease discomfort during activity.

Straps for Enhanced Support

In both medical and sports braces, straps offer extra stability and help prevent harmful movements. On hinged supports, they work alongside anatomical stays to relieve pressure on moderately to severely injured cartilage and ligaments, supporting safe movement and faster recovery.

Insoles That Enhance Foot Movement

Our exclusive WeightFlex Technology helps guide the foot’s natural rolling motion, improving gait, reducing discomfort, and supporting better overall foot posture. Whether you need extra cushioning for running or all-day support at work, these insoles keep you moving comfortably.

Leaders in comfort and wearability

An unused brace is a useless one. We ensure all of our products are designed with comfort in mind to improve the bracing experience and ultimately recovery outcomes.

Sizes to fit everyone

At Bauerfeind, we understand that bodies come in many different shapes and sizes. That’s why our extensive sizing system was developed based on real measurements from more than 500,000 different people around the world using our Bodytronic 3D scanning system.

This system, combined with access to complete customisation where necessary, allows us to efficiently deliver tailored products for all body types and ensures that you get a perfect fit.

Bodytronic 600

The Bodytronic 600 digital measurement system creates a highly accurate 3D scan of your legs, giving you precise anatomical measurements to ensure a perfect fit.

The system projects infrared light as you stand on a revolving measurement platform. These 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.
