IMPORTANT CARE INFORMATION
We always recommend the use of rubber gloves to wear elastic compression sleeves.
Avoid sharp fingernails. Rings, bracelets or watches with sharp edges cause defects and breakage of the yarn. Only use skin care substances which do not have any bad effect on the product and causing deterioration of the yarns.
Do not cut off any projecting threads inside the arm-sleeve since this may cause holes or runs to form in the garment. In presence of wounds, stitches, irritated skin adequately protect the area with a special patch, sterile gauze or hygienic garment.
