- Secure the closures firmly.The straps should be tightened firmly, starting with the two straps closest to the knee.
Tips on Use and Care of Knee Brace
- After exposure to salt water or dirt, thoroughly rinse the brace with fresh water and allow to air dry.
- A dry lubricant, such as Teflon spray, may be used on the hinge occasionally.
- Do not use wet lubricants.
- The hinge assemblies may be removed to allow easier washing of the sleeve and straps.
- Medical Professional:
– The sidebars may be bent to accommodate individual legs. Bend in equal amounts above and below the hinge. - Periodically inspect the sleeve, straps, and hinges for excessive wear. Be sure all screws are tight and stops are in place.
ROM Hinge Adjustments
- Extension Limit settings may be selected between 10° of hyperextension and 70° by pulling the tab out and sliding to desired position.
- Flexion Limit settings may be selected between 10° of hyperextension and 120°.
- The hinge may be locked by sliding the quick lock button into the locked position at any one of 5 positions:
– 10° of hyperextension, 0° (Neutral), 10°, 20°, 30°.
Note:
- Due to soft tissue compression, we recommend the use of extension stops at least 10° greater than the desired limit, (e.g., if you desire a 10° extension limit, use the 20° extension stop).
