Breg Wrist Brace FAQ's
How Do I Wash my Breg Wrist Brace?
Hand wash your wrist brace with a mild detergent and let it air dry. Please don’t put the brace in a washing machine, dryer, or dishwasher, as this can compromise the material.
Should I Clean My Brace Daily?
Daily maintenance will help prolong your brace’s life and make it comfortable to wear.
How Long Should You Wear Your Wrist Brace For?
