Bort Medical Introduces Zipper Knee Bandage to US Market
Novel zipper closing system a big relief
for prevention and therapy
The new GenuZip® knee joint bandage combines the functionality of the BORT classic StabiloGen, which is proven in many cases, with a novel closing system for knee joint bandages.
Commerce Township, MI - August 8, 2006 - The German company Bort Medical
GmbH today announced the introduction of its innovative GenuZip®
knee joint bandage to consumers in the United States. The GenuZip® combines
the functionality of a classic knee support with a convenient closing zipper
system, making it unnecessary to slip the support over the foot or to
remove shoes - it is fast and easy to use. The support will be
distributed through Bort-Swiss Orthopedic Supply, LLC in Commerce, Michigan
(www.bort-swissortho.com). Patent pending # is S.N. 11/171264.
"Knee problems are very common and are a clear sign that you need
effective support. Numerous studies and my experience with hundreds of
patients show that knee support products such as the new GenuZip® knee
joint bandage bring immediate pain relief for those with knee injuries
or those who want to prevent further injuries. In many cases these people
are able to walk, climb stairs, jog, play tennis or dance. In short - they
enjoy life again. The zipper function of this support makes it much
easier to put on and remove," says Dr. Christian Mauch, orthopedist in
Stuttgart, Germany.
The GenuZip is especially helpful for patients with lumbar spine
problems, since bending down to put on and remove knee supports can be very
painful for them. The bandage's micro fiber lining and the pad in the hollow of
the knee provide comfortable and skin-friendly support. The integrated
patella silicone ring assures physiological guidance of the patella and
provides an intermittent massage. The GenuZip® can be worn right as well
as left and is available in beige, blue and silver.
"Our product launch for the GenuZip® in Germany and Europe has been very
successful," says Wolfgang Bort, Managing Director of BORT
Medical GmbH.
"We are very excited to expand our distribution of our special knee
support in the United States."
