How long can it be worn safely?

One does have to be careful with any sholder brace. My wife got a "frozen sholder" and had to get xrays and visit an orthopedic surgeon to cure that. Sholder braces are not safe.

I get about three weeks out of mine wearing it about 15 hours/day on setting 1 "normal". When it goes in the dehumidifier thingy at night, I open the battery compartment so the battery is not in use and the aid is "off" since there's no on/off switch.

Depends on how long your dog wears it. If it's only a couple hours a day and you remember to turn it off after using it, around 3 months or more.

Absolutely! I don't know how long they WILL last, but i know i've had mine almost a year - worn periodically, not daily - but they show no signs of wear. After seven days straight, you might want to rinse them off in soapy water, but they won't need to be replaced because of normal wear and tear for good awhile.

I left mine on all day all night. It was gooey when I removed mine the next morning. So for me, "no". If one is just wearing it for couple hours, yes!

I've been wearing it for over a week and have no problems putting it off and on. You may have to stretch to take it off but so what. This is a great device.

Depends where / what you are treating or using it for... You can adjust it by pulling it up higher on the thigh so I'm not exactly sure. I love mine but you can't wear it more than 3-4 hrs. You could wear it 10 hrs but in 2 hr increments etc.

I find that positioning is critical to wearing time. I have at times been able to wear 5-6 hours and removing only when a need to urinate, and immediately remount. If not positioned correctly I may get only an hour or so before pain requires a remount. I've not been able to identify the precise position need to avoid pain. I dont use the device at night partially as a means to avoid bruising.

I wear it for about an hour and a half at most. I use it weight training. It always is snug and retains its shape. Great product.

I have worn mine for up to three hours at a whack and haven't had any problems with it. It is adjustable for headsize, so you can loosen it up if it is too tight. I believe I could wear mine all day without a problem, but have no need to since my work in the woods is usually only for several hours at the most.

I think it really depends on how often you take it off and put it on. I hardly ever take mine off but my daughter takes it off almost every day. With normal use it should last pretty long. I wouldnt leave it out in a 100 degree car every day or anything like that. As for the warranty I have no idea. I didnt read all the paperwork with it because I was already familar with the product.

I wear my aid 5 days a week for 8hrs. I changed the battery every 6 or 7 days. It is important to leave your aide off when not in use.

I have them in all my shoes and work boots. I would say safely a year. Between my two sets of work boots I get almost 2 years before I feel the need to buy new ones. My husband used to have custom orthotics and he too has switched to these.

I don't know, I have not taken mine off and reused. I leave mine on for about 4 days. Anything that loosens I cut off and retape. I use mine for pes anserine and its usually around the knees that need replacement.

As long as the elastic doesn't stretch out, you can wear them for years. I wear mine multiple times a week sometimes. The bracelet is the kind of material that can be lightly washed if it gets dirty.

I wear mine 24/7, only removing it every 7 or 8 days for a recharge. Swimming doesn't hurt it. It's fine up to 30 feet under water but it doesn't count swimming distance so you have to enter it by hand.
