Fitting Instructions
For optimum wear and fit it is recommended to apply the brace against bare skin (except in the case contraindicated). To improve comfort and fit, the metal uprights/stays may be formed to more closely align with patient anatomy.
- Unfasten all anterior and posterior straps and open anterior Velcro closure. Position open brace under leg (A) with patella buttress at knee center.
- Wrap the sleeves around the thigh and calf, stretching the material until the Velcro adheres (B). Your knee cap should fit snugly in the patella buttress and the hinges should be at knee center.
- Individually tighten each anterior and corresponding posterior strap, starting with the lower straps and finishing with the upper straps (C). The brace should be snug, but not so tight your circulation is restricted. If you feel any tingling or severe discomfort remove and contact the medical professional who fit the brace.
- To remove hinge-cap, push the fastener from underneath the hinge and peel back upon release (D).
- To replace the hinge-cap, hook the anchor under the front of the hinge and snap the fastener back in place (E).
- Six flexion/extension pins are included with the brace. To set flexion/extension, insert pin into desired degree (F). Be sure both hinges are set to match. Pins can be removed at any time to adjust settings.
