Fitting instructions
The brace can be worn directly on the skin or over the clothes. Pay attention
to avoid creasing the clothes in the vicinity of the brace as this can result in
pressure sores.
Important information: The brace may only be adapted by expert staff.
Before putting the brace on, the side joint splints must be adapted to the
contour of the leg by an expert. For forming, remove the splints from the side
splint bags and align to the lateral course of the patient's leg by bending it up
(if applicable using a bending iron). Finally, position the joints back in the side
splint bags.
