STAUDT® therapy sleeves are not supports and are not intended to provide compression. The therapy sleeves use your natural movements during sleep. They should therefore be worn loosely at NIGHT.
When used daily, the foam ribs on the side facing the bed naturally flatten out and lose their effect over time, similar to a mattress which is slept on every night. We therefore recommend replacing the STAUDT® therapy sleeves every six months.
a) When we have chronic joint pain, we tend to relieve the side that is more affected – usually unconsciously. In medical terms, this is referred to as a compensatory posture. However, the result of this is that the side which is now subjected to a greater load is exposed to atypical loads and is therefore more prone to pain. The STAUDT® therapy approach uses the ‘parallel therapy approach’, so your ‘overstrained joint’ is treated as you sleep.
b) Our body is a highly sensitive miracle, including joints, muscles and nerves, which is constantly striving to achieve balance. Wearing the sleeves in pairs while sleeping thus ensures a nearly uniform sensation on both sides of the body, e.g. the left and right knees. This parallel pressure therefore helps you sleep more easily and relax.
c) Since nerve reflex arcs radiate pain from the injured side to the opposite side and thus can damage the seemingly healthy side, it is advisable to treat the healthy side as well in order to enhance the healing of the damaged side by striving for a balance of energy.

We deliberately avoid dyeing the material of the therapy sleeves during their production and prefer to use the natural colour of the PU material instead. The only drawback is that the sleeve material is not UV resistant and can therefore yellow when exposed to UV irradiation (ultraviolet is the primary emission in fluorescent lamps). Colour changes DO NOT impact the effectiveness of the sleeves. To prevent discolouration, please store the sleeves in a dark place where they are protected from light (e.g. in the outer carton or in a cupboard).
Yes, you can wash the STAUDT® therapy sleeves. STAUDT® therapy sleeves are made of a special three-component composite consisting of velor, foam and a fine polyester mesh and are therefore easy to care for. Polyester fibres have good moisture transport properties and dry quickly. They can be washed in the washing machine at up to 60 °C with commercially available mild detergents. Do not dry clean or use bleach or fabric softeners. We recommend air drying the sleeves for longer durability, but they are also suitable for tumble drying. Fasten the closures and use a laundry net if desired.
For a Velcro fastener to last well, it is usually sufficient to clean it thoroughly. This removes lint and dirt that has settled between the hooks. You can do this by trying to collect the lint with a strip of tape. Stubborn lint can be removed with a hard toothbrush. A simple toothbrush with hard bristles (the simplest and cheapest model) works best. Close the Velcro before putting the sleeve in the washing machine.

Yes. Our sleeves are specially designed to be worn at night and are essentially intended for this purpose, but if you have acute pain or if you watch TV throughout the day, for example, you can of course wear it during the day as well: The more often, the better.
STAUDT® therapy sleeves are not supports and should be worn loosely. If the sleeve fits snugly, please move the fastener or order the product one size larger. The sleeve should not fit as tightly as a support, but should not ‘slip down’. A good finger’s width from the skin has been proven as a rule of thumb.
Whether you’re young or old, male or female, big or small – STAUDT® sleeves can be worn by anyone. Top athletes, Olympians and European champions also use our sleeves daily. The sleeves can provide immediate relief as well as preventive protection for both acute and chronic joint and back pain.
The effect of the sleeves is natural and they have no negative side effects.
The sleeves can be used at any age.
