How to clean and maintain this elbow immobilizer?

• Prior to washing, remove any detachable rigid stays, fasten any buckles, and tie any laces to minimize damage during wash and dry cycles.
• Close any hook and loop fasteners before washing to help prevent lint build-up and pilling. For maximum product life and to help prevent any straps from tangling, wash in a mesh laundry bag. Hand or machine-wash with a mild fabric detergent in warm water up to 60˚C / 140˚F.
• Bleach as directed on the container. Do not iron. Lay flat and open and allow to air dry, or tumble dry on low heat for up to 40 minutes.
• Inspect the product after washing to ensure it is intact and replace any previously removed stays.
• Hook and loop fasteners may collect lint after repeated use or laundering, reducing grip strength. As needed, use a stiff bristle brush to remove lint from the “hook” side.
• Test hook and loop adhesion before use and discard the product if the hook and loop do not hold securely.
• During the washing, metal buckles could bend and plastic quick-release buckles could crack or break.
• Always ensure that all buckles are in good working order and are not bent, cracked, or broken before each use.
• If the product is damaged, do not use it and replace it with a new one. Customers could expect up to 5% shrinkage in cotton materials over the life of the product.
