4. Cuidados e Manutenção

Proper care extends the life of your DonJoy ComfortFORM Wrist Support Brace and maintains its effectiveness.

• Limpeza: Hand wash the brace in cold water with mild soap. Remove the aluminum palmar stay before washing if possible.
• Secagem: Air dry thoroughly. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or bleach the brace. Avoid direct heat.
• Armazenar: Guarde em local limpo e seco, longe da luz solar direta, quando não estiver em uso.
• Inspeção: Regularly inspect the brace for signs of wear, such as frayed straps or damaged stitching. Replace if significant wear is observed to ensure continued support.

5. Solução De Problemas

If you encounter issues with your wrist brace, consider the following common solutions:

• Brace feels too loose or too tight: Re-adjust the Velcro straps. Ensure the brace is snug but not constricting. If the issue persists, verify you are using the correct size according to the sizing chart.
• Discomfort or skin irritation: Ensure the brace is not applied too tightly. Check for any folds or creases in the material that might be causing pressure points. If irritation continues, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
• Straps are too long: The Velcro straps are designed to be adjustable. If excess strap material interferes with comfort or function, it can be carefully trimmed with scissors after achieving the desired fit. Ensure enough strap remains for secure fastening.
• Palmar stay shifts or causes discomfort: Ensure the palmar stay is correctly seated within its pocket. If it feels misaligned, remove and reinsert it. If discomfort persists, consult a healthcare professional.
