The new Train® line from Bauerfeind received double recognition recently. In addition to the iF product design award 2007 the Train supports received the iF material award 2007 in the Product category. The award underscores the high degree of innovation of Bauerfeind’s materials.
The iF material award is given by the iF International Forum Design and assesses the presented products, materials, concepts and techniques based on criteria such as innovation, creativity and developmental potential. In the Product category, products from all branches of industry are included that innovatively incorporate new or known materials and material properties.
The knit plays a very important role in the production of the supports. Bauerfeind uses a modern 3D flat knit technique. With this technique, unlimited threads can be worked in or left out at any point. This allows the support to fit the anatomical conditions exactly. The 3D knit supports thereby offer a differentiated therapeutic knitted compression. Unwanted pressure points can be avoided. The high elasticity of the knit makes it easier to apply and wear the support, as well as providing improved breathability and wearing comfort.
