Care Instructions

The C.A.T.S vest can be washed in a hospital laundry at a maximum of 70°C and tumble dried. In a domestic setting it can also be washed under a normal setting of 40°C. the garment can be hung and allowed to dry naturally which helps to ensure longer lasting performance. We also suggest that VELCRO® brand fastenings are secured/closed during any wash cycle. For best results we would also suggest garments are placed in a 'wash-bag' although this is not necessary.
