Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the proper use and care of your IPOW 2-Pack Patella Knee Straps.

Please read these instructions carefully before use to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Setup and Application
Follow these steps to correctly apply your IPOW Patella Knee Strap:
- Position the Strap: Place the knee strap directly below your kneecap (patella). Ensure the thickened pad is centered over your patellar tendon.
- Secure the Strap: Wrap the strap around your leg and secure it using the hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure.
- Adjust Tightness: Adjust the strap's tightness to your comfort level. It should be snug enough to provide support without causing discomfort or restricting circulation.
- Verify Position: Stand up and gently bend your knee to confirm the strap is secure and correctly positioned. The patella pad should remain centered over your patella.

Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your IPOW Patella Knee Straps, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Hand Wash: Hand wash the straps in cold water with mild soap.
- Air Dry: Lay flat to air dry completely. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or bleach, as this may damage the material and affect its effectiveness.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Troubleshooting
- Discomfort or Restricted Circulation: If you experience discomfort, numbness, tingling, or restricted circulation, loosen the strap immediately. Re-adjust the tightness to a comfortable level that still provides adequate support.
- Strap Slipping: If the strap shifts during activity, ensure it is positioned correctly below the patella and tightened sufficiently. The non-slip material should help keep it in place.
- Increased Pain or Swelling: If your knee pain increases or you experience swelling while wearing the strap, discontinue use and consult a medical professional.
- Loss of Effectiveness: Over time, the material may lose some elasticity. If the strap no longer provides adequate support, it may be time to replace it.
