How often should I wash the wrist support strap?

Will this strap immobilize my wrist completely?

Troubleshooting
Strap feels too tight and restricts blood flow.
Loosen the strap slightly. Ensure it is snug for support but not constrictive. If discomfort persists, consider if this level of compression is suitable for your needs.
Strap provides insufficient support.
Ensure the strap is positioned correctly on the wrist and tightened appropriately. For more severe conditions requiring rigid immobilization, consult a medical professional about alternative supports.
Skin irritation occurs after wearing.
Ensure the skin is clean and dry before applying the strap. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider. Consider washing the strap as per care instructions.
