How Washing and Care Affect Compression Garment Performance

Unsuitable washing, detergent and drying conditions can affect elasticity and shape. Correct care helps maintain garment performance.

Why Does Correct Care Matter?

Compression garments are designed with a particular elastic structure and shape. Unsuitable care can affect these characteristics over time.

Care matters both for hygiene and for maintaining the garment's performance.

Factors That Can Affect the Garment

Unsuitable temperatures, detergents or drying methods can affect elastic fibres and overall shape. Follow the care label and instructions for use.

Explaining Care to the Patient

Explaining the care instructions when supplying the garment can help reduce performance loss caused by incorrect care.

When prolonged wear is planned, a second garment can be useful while the first is being washed.
