Store the neck brace in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or bacterial growth.
Environmental Requirements: Choose a cool location away from heat sources (such as radiators) and damp areas (such as bathrooms) to prevent the foam or plastic components from deforming or developing mold.
Preparation: For inflatable models, deflate the brace and loosen the adjustment straps before storage to preserve the elasticity of the air bladder and the effectiveness of the Velcro fasteners; ensure soft padding is completely dry before packing it away.
Packaging: Store the brace in its original packaging or a breathable storage box; avoid placing heavy objects on it that could damage the structural integrity, and keep it out of the reach of children.
Regularly inspect the brace for damage or odors; replace it promptly if the material has hardened or the padding has detached.
