New Serola Sacroliac Belt
As the elastic pulls the cotton layer backwards, folds may develop in the cotton layer if it is not tight enough.
During painful episodes, the Serola Sacroiliac Belt should be worn as much as possible during the day and night. If irritation is encountered while wearing the belt, discontinue use and see a doctor who is familiar with the spine.
For maximum safety, support, and to help avoid pain, the Serola Sacroiliac Belt should be worn whenever you engage in activities involving bending, lifting or twisting.
Hand wash in cold water.
