Contraindications; Care Instructions - medi Kniebandage Mode D'emploi

English
medi Kniebandage
Intended purpose
medi Kniebandage is a two-way-stretch knee support. The product is
exclusively to be used for the orthotic fitting of the knee and only on
unbroken skin.
Areas of use
• Inflammation of the joint (Arthritis)
• Painful joint wear (arthrosis)
• Irritation of the joint (e.g. excessive stress, injuries, operations) linked
to swelling and effusion

Contraindications

No known side effects. However, if supports (or similar aids) are too
tight, local pressure effects or constriction of blood vessels or nerves
may occur in individuals. For this reason, under the following conditions
and before applying the support, you should discuss this with your
doctor:
• Diseases or injuries of the skin in the area of use, especially with
inflammatory symptoms (excessive warming, swelling or reddening).
• Sensitivity and perfusion disorders of the legs or feet (e.g. in the case
of diabetes).
• Lymph outflow disorders, as well as unclear swellings of soft tissues,
apart from the area of use.
Any combination with other products (e.g. compression stockings) must
be discussed in advance with the responsible doctor.
Mode of Action / Comment on Wear
The compression of the knitted fabric causes a massage effect. This
enhances perfusion of the joint and decreases swelling and effusion.
Irritation and pain are alleviated. At the same time, muscular control
and inherent stabilisation of the knee joint are improved.
Supports cause the greatest effect during physical activity. The support
can in principle be worn throughout the day. This must depend on how
comfortable the wearer is. Moreover, the knee may not be bent by more
than 70° when sitting. The support should be removed for long breaks
(e.g. long periods sitting, long drives or sleeping).
If you suffer excessive pain or discomfort during wear, please take off
the product immediately and contact your doctor or specialized shop.
Putting on / Taking off
• Grasp the support with the thumb on the internal upper end (Fig. 1)
• Pull the bandage over the knee and ensure there are no creases or
wrinkles in the fabric. (Fig. 2).
• To take off the bandage, grasp the lower lateral rods and pull it
downwards and away (Fig. 3).
Please take care that trained staff instruct you when putting on the
support for the first time.
