 Take Care

• Follow the safety instructions with the package.
• Keep the collar and cuff sling away from Children to prevent choking hazards, unless it is necessary for an arm injury. Do not neglect on supervising your child all the time.
• Hand wash the product in warm soapy water
• Make sure that it is totally dry before you use it. The weight of the sogginess can actually affect the balance of the product. Do not dry it over a radiator or a tumble drier to avoid shrinkage of the material. Prefer direct sunlight instead.

• For regular maintenance, use a wet cotton swab to wipe off the grime.

• Inform the doctor of any discomfort such as numbness, pricking sensations at fingertips, skin blisters, redness, and swelling. You may not be wearing it in the best way.
