Instructions
SIZING:
Size the Brace
BEFORE USING THE DEVICE, PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE COMPLETELY AND
CAREFULLY. CORRECT APPLICATION IS VITAL TO THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE
DEVICE
Begin by measuring the circumference of the patient approximately 1” (2.5cm)
above the widest part of the hips. Then, match the patient’s size to the
sizing chart below. If the patient’s circumferential measurement is between
sizes, select the larger brace.
| SIZE | CIRCUMFERENTIAL MEASUREMENT |
|---|---|
| S/M | Less than 48” (122 cm) |
| L/XL | 49” – 60” (125 cm – 152 cm) |
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 Postural Extension brace is designed with two (2) adjustable belts which can be easily sized to achieve optimal fit.
FITTING:

Prior to applying, un-hook both pull handles and secure them to the side of
the belt. Open the belt by unhooking one hook and looping the side panel from
the front panel. Loosen both shoulder straps at the buckle (Figure A).

Step 1. Apply Brace
Feed one arm through the shoulder strap as if you were applying a backpack;
continue with the other arm (Fig. B)

bone. Secure hook and loop side panel to front panel (Figure C). 
Step 3. Adjust Shoulder Strap

to maintain the bottom edge of the front panel with the pubic bone and the
back panel between the shoulder blades and lower back (Figure D).

With product in proper position, tighten brace by slipping thumbs through the
holes in the pull tabs. Pull away from body. When tightened, secure the pull
tabs to the loop exterior (Figure E). Brace Removal
To Remove, release both pull-handles and one side of the belt. Slide the brace
off the other shoulder like removing a backpack.
