Warnings
Always read the instructions and use strictly as directed.
Wrapping too tightly may impair circulation. If skin discolouration, tingling or cold sensation ocur, remove immediately. It is designed to not slip or loosen after application, therefore to avoid impairing circulation which can cause serious injury, DO NOT wrap too tightly. The risk of impaired circulation is higher for children.
As with any injury, it is important to frequently monitor the area (at least every 24 hours). If signs of swelling, discoloration, pain, numbness, tingling, or other changes in sensation occur, remove wrap immediately and contact your health care provider.
Do not place wrap in direct contact with an open wound because it may lead to infection.
Do not reuse wrap.
If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional.
