BRACE COMFORT ASSESSMENT
Once the brace is applied, stand and walk a short
distance to ensure comfort and proper correction. If
there is any discomfort, adjust the straps as needed. If
you experience pain in the knee joint or leg, turn the
hinge adjustment back slightly. If more relief is required,
turn the hinge adjustment no more than ¼ of a turn, as
directed by your healthcare professional.
WARNING: The brace is not designed to provide
support for previous ligament injuries.
WARNING: If you experience increased pain,
swelling, skin irritation, or any adverse reactions while
using this product, immediately consult your medical
professional.
WARNING: This device will not prevent or reduce all
injuries. Proper rehabilitation and activity modification are
also an essential part of a safe treatment program. Consult
your licensed healthcare professional regarding safe and

CAUTION: Carefully read fitting instructions and
warnings prior to use. To ensure proper performance
of the brace, follow all instructions. Failure to properly
position the brace and fasten each strap will compromise
performance and comfort.

Pads and straps may be hand washed in cold water
and mild detergent. Rinse and lay flat to air dry. Do not

and hinge, wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid brace contact
with salt water, sand, dirt and chlorinated water. Use a
dry silicone spray if a hinge lubricant is needed.
