Risks / Side Effects
If the aids are too tight, this can cause local pressure sores or constriction of
blood vessels or nerves. Therefore you should consult the doctor treating you
before you use it if the following circumstances apply to you:
• Condition or injury of the skin in the area of application, particularly with
infectious indications (excessive heat, swelling or reddening)
• Paraesthesia and circulatory disorders (e.g. as seen in diabetes, varicose
veins)
• Lymph drainage disorders – equally, swelling of soft tissue adjacent to the
area of application which is not related to a condition
When wearing snug-fitting aids, this can result in localised skin inflammation
or irritation that is due to mechanical irritation of the skin (particularly in
conjunction with sweating) or due to the composition of the material.
