1.10. Safety Instructions
The optimal effect of the brace is only achieved
when used correctly.
•
The brace must only be used in the intact,
complete and mechanically undamaged
condition and with complete and intact
cushioning and walers. This must be verifi ed by
the user before each usage.
•
Opening or removing one or more belts, as
well as excessive loosening of the waler when
using the brace leads to a reduction of the
therapeutic effect of the brace and may lead
to injury.
•
The brace must not be worn over open
wounds.
•
The skin should be free of oils, grease, gels or
other debris, to prevent reactions with the skin
or the structure of the material.
•
The orthosis should fi t fi rmly but not too tight,
so as not to restrict the blood circulation and
adversely affect nerve and lymph vessels.
Excessive compression is therefore to be
avoided.
•
Combination with other products is currently
not provided for or is to be agreed with the
manufacturer in writing.
•
The brace is not intended for single use, but is
intended for multiple use by a single person.
•
The product as delivered is not sterile.
