Neoperene Warning! Harmful Side Effects of Neoprene Braces

 

How comfortable would you feel if you purchased a brace or support that contained the following warning message?
This product contains neoprene, a synthetic rubber-based material that, in susceptible individuals, can cause an allergic reaction ranging in severity from minor local skin irritation to more severe, generalized blistering, swelling or other hypersensitivity reactions.  Contact of this material with the skin may cause irritation, rash or blisters, which can be severe and result in permanent injury.  Contact with the skin can be reduced by use of talcum powder or a stockinette sleeve under the support.  Persons with known sensitivity to neoprene or rubber, persons with known allergies or susceptibility to dermatitis or other skin conditions, and persons with broken skin should  not use this product without first consulting a physician.  Anyone who develops any skin irritation or swelling while using this product should discontinue use immediately and consult a physician.

Benefits of Bio Skin®
• LIGHTER: Bio Skin® is over 40% lighter than 1/8” neoprene and 67% lighter than 1/4” neoprene.
• THINNER: Bio Skin® is 45/1000 of an inch, a fraction of the thickness of standard 1/8” or 1/4” neoprene. 
This significantly reduces bunching or binding of material in joints.
• STRONGER: Bio Skin® is over 50% stronger than neoprene.
• MEMORY COMPRESSION : Bio Skin® maintains its shape and compression. While neoprene can lose much of its elasticity, Bio Skin® loses a minimal amount under normal, even extended wear.
