Easy to Care
- Skil-Care Hip-Ease can be laundered and dried at temperatures up to 180 degree F (82 degree C).
- Secure hook-and-loop closures prior to laundering to prevent lint from adhering to hook material. If closures do not secure due to lint, remove lint from hook material using a stiff brush.
Caution
- Skil-Care Corporation makes no guarantee, express or implied, that wearing Hip-Ease will protect the wearer against hip trauma.
- The skin under the waist and leg bands should be assessed on a regular basis.
- Hip-Ease should be changed and laundered after each incontinence episode. The foam pads are sealed in plastic pouches to protect them against water absorption.
- If the pouch seal is broken or the plastic torn, the pads will absorb water during laundering. The water soaked foam may promote bacteria growth. Test the integrity of each pouch the following laundering by squeezing it. If you hear or feel liquid or air escaping, the pouch is damaged. Discard damaged pouch and replace with new one.
