FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

An excess compression can produce intolerance, therefore we recommend that the compression
be regulated to an optimum degree.

Wearing lightweight clothing underneath the brace can improve comfort.
A- Fitting the brace to the patient:
A.1- Adjusting the metal plate.
2-Peel off the micro hook closure of the lower textile component of the rear area.
3-Separate both components, removing the metal plate inside the lower component.
4-Remove the closure in a micro-hook that fixes the plate to the upper textile component to access
the complete metal plate.
5-With the patient standing and looking forwards, position the stabiliser plate on the patient's
back so that the upper edge is approximately 4 cm below C7 and the lower edge is at the level
of the coccyx.
6-If it is necessary to adjust the height of the plate, remove the 4 screws with a 2.5 mm Allen key,
slide both pieces to the desired height and re-fix all of the screws to the ends of the upper and
lower plates.
7-Adjust the plate to the anatomical shape of the patient's spine beginning with the lumbar lordo-
sis. It is not necessary to use tools for this process.
8-Once the adaptation of the metal plate has been completed, you must insert it into the upper
textile component and close the respective micro-hook.
9-Insert the lower part of the plate into the lower textile component and close the respective micro-
hook.
A.1- Adjusting the straps.
2-After closing the brace in the abdominal area, begin by adjusting the tension and length of the
4 straps that connect this part to the rear plate. Special attention should be paid to the lower
straps, which should be tight. To adjust the length of the straps, release the Velcro fasteners
fixed to their ends, trim the straps to the desired length and reattach the fasteners.
3-With the patient standing and looking forwards, adjust the tension and length of the 2 shoulder
straps in order obtain a correct posture when they are fixed to the abdominal area.
4-The intermediate actuation point of these straps can be adjusted in the rear area by moving the
Velcro piece that joins the two buckles.

2-To move the armpit protectors, detach the 2 Velcro fasteners on their ends and move the protec-
tors until they are in contact with the front area of the shoulder and the armpit area to prevent
discomfort from rubbing.
3-After situating them correctly, fix their position with the Velcro fasteners on the ends.
A- Placement of the brace by the patient:
After the orthopaedic technician has carried out the fitting, it will not be necessary to move the
positions of the straps. For the placement of the brace, only the abdominal closure needs to be
handled.
1-With the abdominal closure open, insert the arms through the openings of the shoulder straps,
as if it were a backpack.
2-Insert the fingers into the respective loops on the left and right-hand sides of the closure.
3-Press the left-hand side of the closure on the abdomen and pull the right-hand side until the
Velcro can be closed.
