INITIAL APPLICATION BY A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL ONLY!
1
Unlock strap clips (A), Unclip buckles (B).
2
Spread hinge bars apart, lay brace out flat, position device with knee centered between hinges. Orient the brace
so the hinges are facing in the direction indicated and the small calf pads are towards the feet.
Example: right leg.
3
Loosen friction clips on the telescoping bars. For proper fit, slide upper and lower telescoping hinge bars to
accommodate leg length. Lock friction clips. Hinge bar length indicators assist in verifying the consistent length
selection on thigh and calf.
4
Position hinge bars laterally and medially to the leg, center hinge at the knee joint.
5
Loosely fasten the 2 straps closest to the knee.
6
Loosely fasten the remaining 2 straps.
7
Pull straps tight to remove slack behind the leg. Be careful to maintain the lateral and medial positions of the
hinge bars.
8
Lock strap lock clips.
9
Pull straps tight through the buckles. Be careful to maintain the lateral and medial positions of the hinge bars.
10 Secure strap ends, use hook and loop Y-tabs at strap ends to affix straps. It may be necessary to shorten straps
by folding them over before attaching Y-tabs.
ROM (RANGE-OF-MOTION) HINGE ADJUSTMENTS:
11 Extension limit settings may be selected between -10° (Hyperextension) and 70° by pulling the tab out and sliding it to desired position.
12 Flexion limit settings may be selected between -10° and 120° (represented as last tick mark on scale).
13 The hinge may be locked by sliding the quick lock button into the locked position at any one of 5 positions: -10° (hyperextension), 0° (Neutral), 10°,
20°, 30° of flexion.
BRIDGETECH INCISION PAD APPLICATION AND ADJUSTMENTS:
14 The BridgeTech Incision Pad can be added to the T Scope Premier to alleviate pressure around the incision site. You will need to replace one of the existing
pads when using the BridgeTech Incision Pad.
15 To replace one of the existing pads, remove the existing pad from the cuff. Make sure the incision pad will be placed on the appropriate cuff, so it is on
same side as the incision. The piece of double sided hook may be attached to the back of this pad or could remain on the strap. If it is on the pad, remove
and affix to the middle of the strap that is attached to the cuff.
16 Apply the BridgeTech Incision Pad to the cuff with the flat side down, making sure the tear-away sections point away from the medial (middle) side of the
brace. The tear-away sections will be in the proper location once the brace is applied.
17 To bridge an incision point, remove individual tear-away sections as needed.
18 To provide additional support and pressure relief, affix the tear-away sections of the BridgeTech Incision Pad to the strap that is below the knee on either
side of the tibia.
USE AND CARE OF YOUR T SCOPE BRACE:
After initial application, the T Scope may be removed and reapplied by unclipping the buckles only.
Hand wash the foam pads and straps with mild soap and air dry. Do not place pads or straps into a mechanical dryer.
Extra foam pads are available from Customer Care: (800) 321-0607. The BridgeTech Incision Pad is available as an accessory for an additional charge.
