Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your Genu Train S Knee Brace, follow these care instructions:

Washing

  • Machine Wash: The knee brace can be machine washed separately at 30°C (86°F) using a mild liquid detergent.
  • Velcro Straps: If your brace has Velcro straps, remove them if possible or secure them firmly to the designated areas.
  • Pads and Splints: Remove any pads or splints before washing, if possible.
  • Laundry Net: Place the brace in a laundry net to protect it during the wash cycle.
  • Spin Cycle: Use a gentle spin cycle with a maximum of 500 revolutions per minute.

Drying

  • Air Dry: Lay the knee brace flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid hanging it to prevent stretching.
  • Avoid Heat: Do not tumble dry, iron, or expose the brace to direct sunlight or heat sources as this can damage the fabric and elasticity. 

Regular Maintenance

  • Frequency: Wash your knee brace regularly to maintain the compression and hygiene of the knitted fabric.
  • Inspection: Regularly check for signs of wear and tear. Replace the brace if the fabric becomes overly stretched or if any components are damaged.

Storage

  • Cool, Dry Place: Store the knee brace in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Flat Storage: Keep the brace flat to maintain its shape and elasticity. Avoid folding it for long periods.

By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your Genu Train S Knee Brace remains in optimal condition, providing you with the best support and comfort for your knee.
