Application Instructions
- Consult a Physician: Always consult your doctor before use to determine the appropriate application method, duration, and frequency of use. They will advise on the optimal wearing schedule, including rest periods.
- Proper Application: Each subsequent wrap should overlap the previous one by approximately 2/3. Monitor for discomfort; pain or discomfort indicates incorrect application.
- Observe Skin Color: Closely monitor the skin color of the treated area (feet, hands, and fingers). Pale or bluish discoloration and numbness indicate excessive tightness. Remove and reapply the bandage with less tension.
- Bandage Size: Consult a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate length and width based on the circumference of the limb (knee, elbow, foot, or hand).
Storage & Transportation
Store and transport the bandage in a clean, dry area with a temperature between 5°C and 25°C, and a humidity level between 50% and 70%. Maintain atmospheric pressure between 630 and 800 mm Hg. Keep at least 1 meter away from heating devices, and protect from direct sunlight and atmospheric elements.
