FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
For best therapeutic results considering different pathologies and to extend the useful life

compression may be intolerable; adjusting the compression to be firm yet comfortable is
recommended.
If the product must be adapted, any such adjustments must be done by an orthopaedic
specialist or healthcare professional legally certified to do so who must make sure the end
user or person responsible for fitting the product properly understands how it works and
should be used.
When fitting the product, you must adhere to the following instructions:
1-Place the leg inside the thigh brace by situating it above the femoral condyles, making
sure the knee can be flexed properly.
2-Adjust, preventing folds and wrinkles.

selves.

PRECAUTIONS
p
Before each use, check that all product components are present as per the fitting process.
Periodically check the conditions of the product. If you observe any defect or anomaly,
immediately report it to the issuing establishment.
This product is made of inflammable material. Do not expose the products to situations
that could set them on fire. In the event of a fire, quickly get them off your body and use
the proper resources to extinguish the fire.
To avoid minor discomfort caused by sweating, we recommend using some type of cotton
fabric to separate the skin from contact with the product material. For discomfort such
as chafing, irritation and swelling, remove the product and see a doctor or orthopaedic
specialist. The product should only be used on healthy skin. It is not recommended for
use over open scars with swelling, redness or hotspots.
Products marked with the symbol contain natural rubber latex and can cause allergic
l
reactions in people sensitive to latex.
Products marked with the symbol contain ferromagnetic components and, therefore,
extreme precaution must be taken if you undergo an MRI scan or are exposed to radia-
tion associated with diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
RECOMMENDATIONS-WARNINGS
The use of these products is conditioned by the indications. Although the product is not
defined as a single-use device, using it on a single patient only is recommended and only
for the intended purposes as described in these instructions or by a healthcare professional.
When disposing of the product and its packaging, you must strictly adhere to the legal
regulations in your community.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STORAGE AND WASHING
When not using the product, store it in the original packaging in a dry place at room tem-
perature. Stick the Velcro to each other (if the orthotic device has them), frequently wash by
hand with warm water (30º C max.) and mild soap. To dry the product, use a dry towel to
absorb as much moisture as possible and let it dry at room temperature. Do not hang it up
or iron the product and do not expose it to direct heat sources such as stoves, dryers, direct
sun exposure, etc. When using or cleaning the product, do not use abrasive or corrosive
substances, alcohol, ointments or liquid solvents. If not dried off properly, the detergent
residue may irritate the skin and cause the product to deteriorate.
t o y m U
Remove the rigid splint before washing the brace. To do so, open the pocket on the inside
of the wrist brace. Once washed and completely dry, re-insert the rigid splint on the proper
side depending on which hand is affected, as per the fitting instructions.
