Optec Vertamax LSO Back Brace Instruction Manual
Instructions For Optec Vertamax LSO
- 1. Place the corset around your waist and center the brace on your back, over the spine. Slide your fingers into the hand grips of the lower elastic bands and hold the left flap firmly over your abdomen.
- 2. Pull the right side of the corset and attach it to lower left elastic band, overlapping the right side over the left.
- 3. Slide your fingers into the hand grips of the upper elastic straps and pull simultaneously away from your body and then towards each other as pictured above, securing the straps to the front of the brace.
- 4. Finally, ensure that the orthosis fit is snug and does not cause any discomfort.
Care & General Guidelines
- Before cleaning, remove plastic inserts from front and back panels. Hand wash at 86 F with mild soap. When drying, do not expose to direct heat (heater or sunlight); air dry.
- Never iron or dry clean. If not rinsed well after washing, residual soap may cause skin irritation and product deterioration. It is not uncommon for your body to change size under the spinal brace, because of the compression of the brace and because of a reduction in post-surgical swelling.
- If you change enough in size that you can no longer adjust the straps enough to get good compression, see your practitioner for a follow-up visit to resize or replace your brace.
- Your practitioner knows your medical status and is using the spinal brace as one part of your total care. It is important to follow his or her instructions exactly, even if they differ from some of the preceding guidelines
