selecting your brace size.
Patient Circumference
f NOTE: It is not uncommon for the patient to experience post-surgical swelling, followed by weight loss (10-20+ lbs/4.5-9.1 kg). The
626/627 brace is designed with two (2) detachable Belt Wings which can be easily repositioned to achieve optimal fit. (Figure R)

f Secure the Belt Wings to the Posterior (Rear) Section at the desired length using the Patient Sizing Chart (Figure I). An approximation
of fit can be achieved by matching the tip of the hook attachment on the Posterior (Rear) Section to the desired sizing indicator on the

be trimmed. (Figure K)
5 25 - 28 in 63 - 71 cm
f NOTE: Add-on components may require factoring more Belt Wing length. Do NOT trim excess material on the Belt Wings until
proper fit has been confirmed.

f Models 200626 and 200627 come preassembled with a pair of reformable Lordotic Inserts that are preset with an 11°
lordotic curve.
f NOTE: The Lordotic Inserts should not be used and should be removed when stepping up from the 626/627 configuration (Models
200626, 200627) to a 631/637 configuration (Models 200631, 200637).

REMOVING LORDOTIC INSERTS
f To remove, open the hook and loop pocket on the patient facing side of the Posterior (Rear) Section.
f Remove the Lordotic Inserts from the hook and loop pocket. (Figure J)
INSERTING LORDOTIC INSERTS
f To insert, open the hook and loop pocket on the patient facing side of the Posterior (Rear) Section.
f Slide the Lordotic Inserts inside the hook and loop pocket, making sure the arrow shaped hole point toward the midline of the
Posterior (Back) Section and the orange side is facing the patient. (Figure J)
SECURING/REMOVING ANTERIOR (FRONT) PANEL (INCLUDED WITH MODELS 200631, 200637, 200627)
f Hold the Anterior (Front) Panel on the patient at the desired location. (Figure L)
f Wrap the Belt Wings over the Anterior (Front) Panel, making sure the loop strip (inward facing) on the Belt Wing attaches to the hook
strip (outward facing) on the Anterior (Front) Panel (Figure M & Figure N)
f REMINDER: The Exos™ logo on the Anterior (Front) Panel should be facing upright and away from the patient.
BRACE APPLICATION
f Loosen brace.
f Prior to each application of the brace make sure the brace is fully extended by lifting the Boa® Knobs and pulling the Posterior (Rear)
Section apart (Figure O) .
f Apply the brace to the patient by centering the Posterior (Rear) Section (Figure P) around the patient (on the back), then wrapping the
Belt Wings around the waist (toward the front) (Figure Q) . Secure the hook and loop attachment on the front.
f NOTE: When reapplying the brace, it is easiest for the patient to guide the belt by inserting a hand in the donning mit pocket. (Figure Q)
f NOTE: The Belt Wings may be secured to the Posterior (Rear) Section at an angle to accommodate a size differential between the
waist and hips (Figure R) .
f Before tightening the brace make sure the Posterior (Rear) Section is positioned evenly on both sides of the patient. In order to
achieve optimal comfort and fit, it may be necessary to readjust and reposition the two (2) Belt Wings to the Posterior (Rear) Section.
f Push Boa® Knob down and turn Boa® Knob clockwise to tighten the brace (Figure G) to the desired level of compression.
