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)
• Paresthesia 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.
