lumbar spine..
Indications
All indications requiring stabilisation of the
lumbar spine such as:
• Lower back pain
• Muscle weakness
• Pain in the lumbosacral joint
Contraindications

Risks / Side Effects
If the aids are too tight, this can cause local
pressure sores or constriction of blood vessels or
nerves. Therefore you should consult the doctor
treating you before you use it if the following
circumstances apply to you:
• Condition or injury of the skin in the area of
application, particularly with infectious
indications (excessive heat, swelling or
reddening)
• Paraesthesia and circulatory disorders (e.g. as
seen in diabetes, varicose veins)
• Lymph drainage disorders – equally, swelling of
soft tissue adjacent to the area of application
which is not related to a condition
When wearing snug-fitting aids, this can result in
localised skin inflammation or irritation that is
due to mechanical irritation of the skin
(particularly in conjunction with sweating) or
due to the composition of the material.
Intended patient groups
Healthcare professionals should provide care to
the adults and children, applying the available
information on the measurements/sizes and
necessary functions/indications and in line with
the information provided by the manufacturer,
and acting under their own responsibility.
Note on wearing
The bandage's effects are most noticeable during
movement of the body. In principle, the bandage
can be worn for the whole day. The length of time
that the bandage is worn should, however, be
based upon the individual's own requirements.
The bandage should be removed for long
sedentary periods (i.e. if you are sitting down for
a long time, driving or sleeping).
Putting on / taking off
• The green edging shows you which way up the
brace should go (green edging should be on
top).
• First, slip a hand into the hand strap in the
left inside of the fastener. Wrap the bandage
around the body and then slip a hand into the
outer hand strap on the right side (Fig. 2+3).
• Pull the two fastening sides over each other
and then secure them as centrally as possible
with the Velcro. The bandage has been put on
correctly if the bottom edge of the fastener is
located just above the pubic bone (Fig. 3+4).
Care instructions
Hook and loop fasteners should be closed for
washing. Soap residues can cause skin irritation
and material wear.

cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent without
