– whilst wearing the brace, please neither use any creams nor ointments on or
around it as they can destroy the material
Instructions for use for patients
The brace can be worn directly on the skin or over the clothes. Avoid easing the
clothes in the vicinity of the brace, this may result in pressure sores.
1
Open all the brace's fasteners - harnesses as well as support sheaths.
2
Sit down and slip forwards to the edge of the chair. Bend your knee joint
slightly (approx. 30°).
3
Place your leg in the brace. Ensure correct positioning. The joint should be
positioned at the height of the centre of the patella (middle of the kneecap)
and on the side of the leg.
4+5
Close the fasteners in the following order, always starting from the
middle of the knee:
1. Support sheath fastener close to the knee on the lower leg
2. Support sheath fastener close to the knee on the thigh
3. Support sheath fastener away from the knee on the lower leg
4. Support sheath fastener away from the knee on the thigh
5. Circular strap away from the knee on the lower leg
6. Circular strap away from the knee on the thigh
Whilst tightening the harnesses, smoothen them in the tension direction with your
free hand. This avoids twisting the brace on the leg.
Information: should you incur pressure sores, pain or other problems whilst
wearing the brace, remove it and contact your technician.
Allow yourself time to become accustomed to the brace and increase the wearing
time gradually. You can remove the brace during longer periods of rest. If you have
questions regarding the use and wearing time, please refer to your physician or
technician.
