INSTRUCTIES

• The skin and the Caroskin™ Silicone Garments must always be hygienic and dry before the garments are worn.
• Always use the associated products (Scarban® GLIDE Gel – Scarban® Cleaning Soap) to put on the garments and maintain them.
• Remove rings, watches, bracelets and other jewellery when putting on the Caroskin™ Silicone Garments.
• Take your time to put on the Caroskin™ Silicone Garments. Do not pull open the garment, but glide it over the body part in question. Learn to use the right quantity of Scarban® GLIDE Gel to put on the garments in a comfortable manner.
• To put on Caroskin™ silicone gloves, it is easiest to turn the glove inside out so that you can see the fingers. Put a bit of Scarban® GLIDE Gel in the tips of the fingers, rub the gel into the entire hand, slide your fingers into the glove and then pull the glove over the hand. Do not pull the knitted tricot part too hard.
• Do not cut off loose threads.
• Contact your prescribing doctor if the garment needs to be repaired.
  
  
Wash & Care:

• Do not use laundry softener, bleaching or pre-laundering agent.
• Do not tumble dry or dry near a source of heat or in the sun.
• Do not iron.
• Do not dry-clean.
• Close any Velcro before washing.
• Wash daily in the washing machine at 90°C (40°C if combined with elastic tricot) or wash in hot water with Scarban® Cleaning Soap. Rinse thoroughly in warm, running water.
• Machine wash: 8 tablespoons =120 ml
• Hand wash: 1 tablespoon = 15ml (depending on the size of the garment you are washing)
• When not using the Caroskin™ Silicone Garments, store them in a dry, cool place at a temperature below 25°C and protect from sunlight.

• Skin must always be kept hygienic and dry.
• Remove rings, watches, bracelets and other jewellery when putting on the Caroskin™ Pressure

• Take your time to put on the garment. If you are using Caroskin™ pressure socks, turn the sock inside out except the heel, insert your foot in the sock and pull up the sock carefully.
• Correctly measured garments will feel relatively ‘oppressive’ at first. Your body will need a few days to get used to the exerted pressure. Pay attention to excessive pressure, which is expressed through rapid cooling off or a tingling sensation in the extremities. Contact your prescribing doctor.
• Always use Caroskin™ Skin Lotion before and after wearing the pressure garments (cf. tag). Let the Caroskin™ Skin Lotion penetrate before putting on the pressure garments.
• Do not cut off loose threads.
• Contact your prescribing doctor if the garment needs to be repaired.
• Important! Always use the Caroskin™ Skin Lotion – cf. tag

Wash & Care Advice

  thoroughly.

Gebruik:

• Machine wash: 8 tablespoons = 120 ml
• Hand wash: 1 tablespoon = 15ml (depending on the size of the garment you are washing)
• Close any Velcro before washing
• Wash dark colours separately.
• Rinse thoroughly.
• Do not wring, do not dry near a source of heat: air-dry.

• Cut the tailored Caroskin™ Silicone Sheets with rounded edges and cover the scar completely, with an overlap of approximately 2 cm.
• Remove the protective film from the sheet and stick the adhesive side onto the scar.
• Increase the use of tailored Caroskin™ Silicone Sheets with 1 hour per day up to a total of 20 hours.
• You can use tape or a bandage to make sure that the tailored Caroskin™ Silicone Sheets stay in place.

Wash & Care Advice

• Rub a few drops of Caroskin™ Cleaning Soap into the tailored Caroskin™ Silicone Sheets. The sheets lose their adhesive power after contact with the Caroskin™ Cleaning Soap. Rub well to remove all dirt.
• Rinse thoroughly under warm, running water.
• Place the tailored Caroskin™ Silicone Sheets on a dry tea-towel, sticky side up, to dry.
• Only use the tailored Caroskin™ Silicone Sheets when they are fully dry.

Use enough Caroskin™ Skin Lotion. Learn using the correct quantity without remaining on the skin. The intention is that it absorbs immediately in the skin and the skin feels soft.

• Always take the Caroskin™  Skin Lotion with you when you leave home. Apply an extra quantity whenever you have a moment.
• Store at room temperature and screen from sunlight and daylight.
• Use Caroskin™  Skin Lotion at least 3 times per day when possible by rubbing it into the area requiring treatment.
