Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your Össur Formfit Pro Knee FLITE Support. It is recommended to:
- Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a cold cycle.
- Drying: Air dry thoroughly. Do not tumble dry, as the thin strip of latex at the top for grip may be damaged by heat.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and the integrity of the material.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Össur Formfit Pro Knee FLITE Support, consider the following common concerns:
- Brace feels too tight, especially around the thigh: Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the sizing guide. If measurements are borderline, consider sizing up. The brace should feel snug but not uncomfortably restrictive.
- Leaves crease marks: This can be common with compression braces. Ensure the brace is smoothed out evenly after application. If marks are severe or painful, re-check sizing and application.
- Skin irritation/rash: The brace contains a thin strip of latex at the top for grip. If you experience a rash, you may have a latex allergy. Discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a healthcare professional. You may try folding down the top edge to avoid direct skin contact with the latex strip.
- Brace slips down: Ensure the brace is pulled up sufficiently and smoothed out. The FoldLock technology is designed to minimize slipping. Re-verify your measurements against the sizing chart to confirm you have the correct size.
If problems persist, please contact Össur customer support.
