Advice
Please read the product packaging before use, and follow the manufacturer's recommendations. You should not use this patella knee support over open wounds or if you are susceptible to dermatitis.
Wear over one or two socks. The ankle brace will take two or three days to 'break in', and if blistering occurs during the break in period use a foam pad and tape (or adhesive plaster) to cover the affected area. If any rashes or skin problems do occur stop wearing the support, and consult a doctor if the condition continues.
Wash the brace in warm water with a mild detergent and leave to drip dry. Do not tumble dry or dry clean.
