Precautions:

Read these instructions carefully before using the orthosis. If you have any questions,
consult your doctor or the shop where you purchased it.

The general instructions of use and specific indications determined by the doctor

Only a doctor is qualified to prescribe treatment and determine its duration and

•
Although the orthosis is not for single use, it should only be used by one patient. The
product should not be reused by other patients.
The first fitting of the orthosis should be carried out either by qualified personnel
•
(doctor, orthopaedic technician, etc.) or under their supervision.
•
For the orthosis to function properly, its components must be regularly checked to
ensure that they are in good condition. The medical staff responsible for monitoring
treatment may explain the suitability of the product to the patient or suggest its
replacement if it is damaged or worn.
Make sure that the quick Velcro fasteners are free from fluff and lint to ensure that
•
their closure properties are preserved.
•
Some materials of the product are not flame retardant, therefore it is recommended
not to use it in environments with excessive heat, fire or radiation.
•
Clean the product regularly and maintain proper hygiene.
•
Do not wear the orthosis while having a bath, shower, etc.
•
Do not let children play with this device.
Instructions for proper fitting:
It is advisable to fit the support belt in front of a mirror. The belt consists of two parts: an
elastic rear section and a rigid front section in the shape of a concave band.
•
FIG.1: The front section features symmetrical marks in the shape of small holes (A),
which serve as a reference to ensure that the belt is centred.
•
FIG.2: Place the front band (B) centred below the abdomen and hold with your hands.
When fitting for the first time, it is advisable to have the help of another person to
ensure correct placement.
•
FIG.3: Firstly attach the tensioning straps to the velour fabric of the rear section.
•
FIG.4: Then position the elastic section on the back and fasten to the front with the
Velcro fasteners. Use the reference marks (A - Fig.1) to centre the belt in such a way
that the left and right Velcro fasteners are positioned symmetrically.
•
FIG.5: Close the rear section over one end. Repeat the action over the other end,
making sure that the support belt is centred.
•
FIG.6: Finally, adjust the belt's degree of compression by pulling the left and right
tensioning straps at the same time (C).
•
FIG.7: The tensioning straps (C) must always be attached to the front band (B).
