More Information
- Contraindications:
– Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD)
– Lymphatic drainage disorders and indistinct soft tissue swellings remote from the applied aid
– Sensory loss and blood flow disorders in the affected body part
– Skin disorders in the treated part of the body - Directions for Use:
– Before wearing the knee brace, the joint splints must be adjusted by a specialist with training in body shaping
– The knee brace has a joint for the inner part of the leg (medial) and for the outer part of the leg (lateral)
– To shape, remove the fastening straps from the joint and take the splints out of the knee brace
– Now the joint splints can be shaped to fit the shape of the leg so that they remain flat and do not create pressure points
– The splints are then put back into their pockets and the straps adjusted, without being fully closed
– Now pull the knee brace onto the leg, so that the silicone opening is centered on the kneecap (patella)
– Firstly fasten the leg straps, then those on the thigh. Now the knee brace should rest comfortably on the leg, without any pressure points
– Slight corrections can be made to the shape of the splints without having to remove them
Caution: If the splints cause pressure and redness, remove the kneebrace and have it checked by a healthcare professional
