3. Sizing Guide

To ensure the best fit and optimal performance, accurately measure your leg circumference before selecting your sleeve size. A proper fit is crucial for effective compression and support.

How to Measure:

1. Extend your leg to a 120-degree angle.
2. Locate the center of your kneecap and draw an imaginary line to the side of your knee. This will be your starting point.
3. Measure the circumference of your leg 4 inches (10 cm) above this starting point.

Compare your measurement to the chart below. If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger size for a better fit.

4. Setup & Application

Applying your POWERLIX Compression Knee Sleeve correctly is essential for maximum benefit and comfort. Follow these steps for proper application:

1. Prepare Your Leg: Ensure your leg is clean and dry before applying the sleeve.
2. Roll Up the Sleeve: Gently roll the sleeve down from the top cuff towards the middle, similar to putting on a sock.
3. Position the Sleeve: Step into the sleeve and pull it up over your foot and calf. Continue pulling it up until it reaches your knee.
4. Align with Kneecap: Adjust the sleeve so that the patella (kneecap) area is centered within the knitted pattern designed for the knee. The silicone gel strips should be positioned at the top of your thigh to prevent slipping.
5. Smooth Out Wrinkles: Ensure there are no wrinkles or bunching, especially behind the knee, to prevent discomfort and maintain even compression.
6. Check Comfort: The sleeve should feel snug and supportive, but not uncomfortably tight or restrictive of blood flow. You should be able to move your knee freely.

5. Operating Instructions

The POWERLIX Compression Knee Sleeve is designed for continuous wear during various activities where knee support is beneficial. It provides consistent compression and stability without restricting your range of motion.

Recommended Usage:

• During Workouts: Wear the sleeve during exercises such as weightlifting, running, cycling, or any activity that puts stress on your knee joints. It helps to stabilize the knee, reduce muscle vibration, and improve proprioception.
• Sports Activities: Ideal for sports like basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, and baseball to provide support, prevent injuries, and enhance performance.
• Daily Activities: Can be worn throughout the day for general knee support, especially if you experience chronic knee pain, arthritis, or are recovering from a minor injury.
• Post-Injury Recovery: Provides gentle compression to reduce swelling and promote blood circulation, aiding in faster recovery from sprains, strains, or meniscus tears. Consult with a medical professional for specific recovery protocols.

6. Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your POWERLIX Compression Knee Sleeve and maintain its effectiveness. Follow these guidelines:

• Hand Wash Recommended: Hand wash the sleeve in cold water with a mild detergent.
• Do Not Bleach: Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the fabric and elastic fibers.
• Air Dry: Lay flat to air dry. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean, as high heat can degrade the material and affect the compression properties.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Dry in a shaded area to prevent material degradation from prolonged sun exposure.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your POWERLIX Compression Knee Sleeve, consider the following:

• Sleeve is Slipping: Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the sizing guide. The silicone gel strips should be positioned correctly on your thigh. If the issue persists, your sleeve might be too large.
• Discomfort or Excessive Tightness: Re-check the sizing. The sleeve should be snug but not cause pain, numbness, or restrict circulation. If it feels too tight, you may need a larger size. Ensure there are no wrinkles or bunching.
• Reduced Compression Over Time: This can occur with prolonged use or improper care. Ensure you are following the care instructions. If the compression significantly diminishes, it may be time to replace the sleeve.
• Skin Irritation: If you experience skin irritation, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure the sleeve is clean and dry before each use.
