Cautions
- Prolonged reliance on a knee Support for support without incorporating physical therapy or rehabilitation exercises may lead to muscle weakness or dependency on the Support.
- Prolonged use of a knee Support, particularly if it is made of materials that are not hypoallergenic, may lead to skin irritation or allergic reactions. If you have sensitive skin or known allergies, choose a knee Support made of suitable materials or consult with a healthcare professional.
- Some individuals may experience discomfort or irritation when wearing a knee Support, especially if it is not properly fitted or if there is friction between the Support and the skin. Ensure a proper fit and adjust the Support as needed for comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Should you sleep with a tensor bandage on your knee?
The bandage should provide a snug compression, but not restrict movement or blood flow. Remove compression bandages at night while sleeping. As swelling reduces it may be necessary to adjust compression bandage.
How long should I use knee support?
It's usually at least 6 weeks but could be longer depending on the severity of your injury.
How do I clean my brace/support?
First, if your support has hinges, remove them. Then close all straps and fasteners, and hand-wash the support with mild soap in warm (not hot) water. Rinse well and air dry.
