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, particular-
ly with infectious indications
(excessive heat, swelling or
reddening)
• Paraesthesia and circulatory
disorders (e.g. as seen in diabetes,
varicose veins)
• Lymph drainage disorders – equal-
ly, 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.
Intended patient groups
Healthcare professionals should
provide care to the adults and
children, applying the available
information on the measurements/
sizes and necessary functions/
indications and in line with the
