that they earn how to handle it. Putting it on and taking it off should be
practiced.
Wear the

directly on the skin or over a tight-fitting singlet
without any creases. It is recommended that an absorbent singlet be worn to
avoid humidity caused by excessive sweating.

Osteo flex
please follow the steps below. This will ensure
reliable effectiveness.
Always make sure that the
MKS
®
Osteo flex
is a smooth and tight fit. However,
in order to prevent constrictions along the edges it shouldn‘t be over-tightened.
