Material composition

For precise details, please see the textile label sewn into
your compression garment.
Storage information and shelf life
Store in a dry place and protect from sunlight. Standard
products have a maximum shelf life of 36 months. The com-
pression garment then has a usage period of 6 months.
The usage period depends on correct handling (e.g. care,
donning and doffing) and normal use of the products. The
usage period of the medical product is printed on the box
with an hourglass symbol. Custom-made products are for
immediate use. Body measurements may change based on
the patient's condition and individual circumstances. Cus-
tom-made products are therefore designed for a usage
period of 6 months. After the 6-month usage period, body
measurements must be re-checked by a medical special-
ist. In the event of significant changes in measurements
of the body part that is being treated (e.g. based on ther-
apeutic success, weight change), re-measurement and
supply of a new product may be required earlier, before
the 6-month usage period comes to an end.
