The Benefits of Neoprene Braces
In this blog, you’ll learn about the numerous benefits of neoprene braces. Especially in summer, it’s highly recommended to opt for a neoprene brace!
The Advantage of a Neoprene Brace
There are many types of materials used in the development of orthopedic aids. One commonly used material is neoprene. But why is this material chosen for making various braces? We’re here to explain the advantages of neoprene to you!
Neoprene Brace Can Get Wet
Think about the use of a wetsuit (which is also neoprene). A wetsuit fits snugly around the skin and feels firm. It still allows for good movement while providing the desired stability. This works the same when wearing a brace. Very useful for water sports such as surfing, swimming, water polo, etc.!
Neoprene Brace Offers Great Stability
Neoprene conforms closely to the skin (especially when wet) and allows for good movement! The neoprene material fits well around the skin, and with the Velcro closures, you can further adjust the desired stability.
Soft & Gentle Material for the Skin
Neoprene is very skin-friendly. It feels like a second skin. Very soft and nice! You can wear the brace during the day or only during sports activities. Washing the brace is easy with a hand wash, and then let it air dry.
Neoprene is Breathable
The material is breathable, allowing air to pass through and wicking away moisture. You can wear a neoprene brace during the day and/or during sports. Neoprene is easy to clean after exercising with a hand wash. Very convenient if you sweat quickly under the brace.
Neoprene is Latex-Free, Therefore Hypoallergenic
Latex is not used in neoprene braces, so allergic reactions related to latex are excluded.
Neoprene Material is Very Strong, Sturdy, and Durable
Neoprene is a flexible material that is also very strong. It can take a beating, so to speak. This makes neoprene a very durable choice. You can expect a neoprene brace to generally last longer than other materials.
