Skin Care and Prevention of Discomfort
After removing the brace daily, gently massage the areas subjected to pressure to promote local blood circulation. Clean the skin promptly after sweating to keep it dry; applying a non-irritating talcum powder can help reduce friction and prevent skin issues such as pressure sores or eczema. If you experience persistent pain or numbness while wearing the brace, adjust the tightness immediately; if necessary, discontinue use and consult a medical professional.
Use as directed: Select the type and duration of wear for medical braces based on a doctor's advice to avoid muscle atrophy caused by prolonged, unsupervised use.
Proper fit: The brace should conform to the contours of the waist; if it is too tight, it may impede blood circulation, while if it is too loose, it will fail to provide effective support.
Combine with rehabilitation: The brace serves only as an assistive tool and should be used in conjunction with comprehensive treatments such as core muscle strengthening and physical therapy.
Contraindications: Individuals with severe abdominal edema, broken skin, or material allergies should exercise caution when using the brace.
