Velpeau Genucast 0° Knee Immobiliser – Post-Injury & Post-Surgery Knee Brace
The Velpeau Genucast is a knee immobiliser that holds the knee fully straight at 0° extension — the support a doctor reaches for when an injured or post-operative knee needs to be kept still while it heals. Unlike a flexible brace, its job is to prevent bending so that ligaments, tendons or surgical repairs are protected during the critical early recovery period. Adhesive bands keep it firmly in place, and it can be worn on either the left or right leg.
Who it helps
- After knee injury, where the joint must be kept straight and still.
- After knee surgery, for temporary immobilisation during early healing.
- Soft-tissue injuries that a clinician wants to rest in extension.
Key features
- 0° immobilisation: holds the knee in full extension (straight) to protect healing structures.
- Anti-slip adhesive bands: reduce the risk of the immobiliser sliding down the leg.
- Left or right leg: a single design works for either knee.
- Secure, supportive structure: firm enough to restrict bending while remaining wearable.
- Four sizes (T1 to T4): sized to your leg — confirm with the chart.
Why immobilise the knee?
Some injuries and almost all knee surgeries need a period where the joint simply does not bend, so that healing tissue is not disturbed. An immobiliser like the Genucast keeps the knee locked straight, taking the load and movement away from the injured or repaired area. This is different from a hinged brace, which allows controlled movement — an immobiliser is used in the earliest, most protective phase, typically before progressing to a more mobile brace as you recover.
Important: use under medical guidance
A knee immobiliser is a clinical device — how long to wear it, and when to progress to a mobile brace, should be decided by your doctor or surgeon. Measure to the Velpeau T1 to T4 chart for the correct length and fit, and check the skin underneath for rubbing during use. We can help with sizing over WhatsApp.
When you progress to a mobile brace
As your knee heals and your clinician allows movement, a hinged brace such as the Velpeau Ligation Pro or Ligation Comfort provides controlled support. Browse the full Knee Braces & Supports collection.
