FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Össur's recommended application technique is with the patient in
a supine position.
1. Before application, ensure the Belt Compression System is stretched
to its full width and remove the Overlap Closures from both ends of
the belt.
2. Secure Posterior Panel to the inside of the Adjustable Belt via Hook
and Loop tabs and close the overlap flap (Fig. 2).
3. Log roll the patient on to their side. Position the Posterior Panel
centered over the spine, with the bottom of the Posterior Panel at
approximately the sacrococcygeal joint. NOTE: Panels can be
removed from their fabric sleeve and customized by heat-molding,
grinding, or trimming, to achieve correct patient fit (Fig. 3).
4. Log roll the patient back into the supine position.
5. Wrap the Adjustable Belt around the waist and insert the Össur Fit
Tool (Fig. 4). Adjust the length of the belt arms to position the tool
centrally. Secure the Belt Ends to desired sizing (Fig. 5). NOTE: If the
patient's waist exceeds 50" (127 cm), an optional Belt Extension can
be added to the belt arms to reach a maximum belt circumference of
70" (178 cm).
6. Remove Össur Fit Tool from belt (Fig. 6). NOTE: If an Össur Fit Tool
is not available, lay the belt flat with Overlap Closures removed and
compression system loosened. Fold each belt arm equally to achieve
the desired waist circumference and secure the Belt Ends (Fig. 7).
Follow steps 2–4.
7. Place Belt Ends into the Overlap Closures (Fig. 8).
8. Once Belt Ends are secured, the Overlap Closures will serve as belt
ends (Fig. 9). NOTE: To obtain the lowest profile fit, the Belt Ends can
be trimmed if later adjustments are not required.
9. If required, the Anterior Panel should be centered on the abdomen
with the bottom edge just above the symphysis pubis, while still
allowing the patient to sit comfortably (Fig. 10). The Anterior Panel
will attach via Hook and Loop to the inside of the Overlap Closure.
10. Close belt securing the Overlap Closures. Slide thumbs through the
holes in the two Compression System Handles and pull until the
brace is at the appropriate tightness (Fig. 11). Adjust the Compression
System Cord length, if necessary (Fig. 12).
