How should I care for my Breg Shortrunner Knee Brace? + –

After exposure to saltwater or dirt, rinse the brace thoroughly with fresh water and let it air dry. Occasionally apply a dry lubricant, such as Teflon spray, to the hinges. Avoid using wet lubricants. Regularly inspect the straps, sleeve, and hinges for wear and ensure all screws are tight.
