Deluxe Night Splint Application Instructions

CAUTIONS:
Over stretching, especially during extended wear (several hours) may produce temporary numbness and tingling. This is usually a rare situation and can be avoided by maintaining the stretch arc. If symptoms such as above occur, loosen the stretch straps or remove the splint. Symptoms should resolve within several minutes. If symptoms persist or condition worsens, discontinue use of the splint and contact your physician.
