Swede-O Wash Instructions

Swede-O is a company that produces orthopedic support devices such as ankle supports, knee wraps and elbow braces. The products are used during rehabilitation and help treat soft tissue injuries, sports injuries, arthritis and more. If you are required to wear a Swede-O orthopedic support, you need to wash it to clean it of sweat and dirt that many have accumulated. Some Swede-O products can be machine washed, while others must be cleaned by hand. Consult the tag on the product before cleaning to determine the method of washing that is appropriate. If you can not read the tag or if is detached, visit the Swede-O link in the Resources section of this article for washing specifications for each product.
