1. When and how should I wear the Knee Support?

It is recommended to wear the Knee Support during activities that lead to discomfort. Knee Supports are usually worn directly on the skin. However, if it is more convenient to you, you can also wear it over thin, tight fitting clothes. For the Adjustable Knee Support, you should take care to apply the product without lateral folds and to position the patella ring right around your kneecap. The support can be worn on the left and the right knee. For detailed application advice see the provided information on the folding box. Please seek medical advice if in doubt about the injury.

2. Precautions and warnings to be considered when wearing Knee Supports

The Knee Support should only be used on clean, intact skin. While wearing, make sure the product is not uncomfortably tight and blood flow is not restriced. Avoid wearing for prolonged periods e.g. whilst sleeping. If a rash develops, pain is prolonged or conditions worsen, discontinue use and consult a physician.
