Loosen the sternal and posterior adjustment screws to increase or decrease the circumference, and/or to adjust the front panel for asymmetric Pectus Carinatum.

Slide the components to the desired circumference/position and re-tighten using the included hex key.
-
The metal parts can be contoured with the use of bending irons. Care should be taken not to make sharp bends in slotted areas.

Fit the orthosis and tighten to the desired tension using the ratchet buckles. If needed, the included optional shoulder straps can be used to prevent slippage of the orthosis. Feed the straps through the front and back panel slots, fasten using the hook and loop fasteners, and check fit.
