Vulkan AirXtend Knee Support
What is Vulkan AirXtend Knee Support?
Vulkan AirXtend Knee Support helps to retain heat at the site of the injury, accelerating the healing process by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the damaged tissues. This adjustable knee support provides firm support to the knee joint without restricting movement. The adjustable compression around the knee helps to reduce pain, swelling and tenderness.
The benefits of the material
This knee support features a combination of Airprene neoprene and Coolmax fabric to provide optimal comfort and support. Adjustable tension straps provide custom fit for controlled compression. The sectional design minimises slippage and bunching during wear.
Airprene is a closed cell neoprene with perforations that provides support and compression. The perforations in the material allow increased ventilation to reduce skin irritation and improve comfort.
This allows the support to be worn for prolonged periods whilst keeping skin dry and comfortable. The Coolmax fabric lining moves perspiration away from the body, and through the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly, allowing the wearer to feel cooler and more comfortable.
How to use this product
Always wear Vulkan AirXtend Knee Support exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. First align the patella opening over the knee cap and fasten the bottom tension strap behind the knee. Then fasten the top and the middle strap behind the knee. Adjust fastenings so that the support fitting is firm but comfortable. Make sure that the support is not uncomfortably tight and does not restrict blood flow.
When should this product not be used?
Do not wear this knee support if warming or heat-generating liniments, ointments or creams have been applied. Should an irritation or rash develop, discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice. If your injury is severe or does not improve within three to four days seek medical advice.
Storage information
