6. Maintenance and Care
To maintain the longevity and effectiveness of your NEENCA Knee Brace, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash only. Use mild soap and cold water.
- Drying: Air dry completely. Do not tumble dry, iron, or bleach.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure Velcro straps are fastened to prevent them from snagging on other fabrics.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues while using your NEENCA Knee Brace, consider the following:
- Brace Slipping: Ensure the straps are tightened sufficiently and the anti-slip silicone strips are in direct contact with your skin. Re-adjust the brace to center the patella opening.
- Discomfort or Irritation: Loosen the straps slightly. If discomfort persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure the brace is not worn too tightly.
