FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED BY YOUR ORTHOPAEDIC TECHNICIAN OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH DOCTOR'S ORDERS.
In order to obtain a greater degree of therapeutic effectiveness in the different pathologies and to prolong the life and utility
of the product, it is fundamental that the correct size adequate for each patient or user is chosen (enclosed in the packet is a
diagram with all the sizes and the equivalent in centimetres). An excess compression can produce intolerance, therefore we
recommend that the compression be regulated to an optimum degree.
To fit observe the following aspects:
1-Unfold the orthosis completely. Each fitting step is differentiated by a colour and the number of stars shown on the device.
Follow the colour and star numbers from 1 to 3.
2-Relax the injured shoulder and place the pad over it.
3-Place the forearm in the sling with the hand over the heart, wrap around the arm and fasten with the hook at the height
of the clavicle.
4-Place the elbow in the cup attachment provided for it, and fasten with the hook to the wrist (green, 2 stars).
5-Put the narrow strap over the opposite shoulder and bring the rib strap (wide) underneath the armpit firmly to the torso.
6-Tighten and fasten the rib strap with the hook up to the forearm (blue, 3 stars).
7-Finally, tighten the shoulder strap and fasten to the wrist with the hook.
The Velpeau device is designed and tailored to accommodate either the right or left side, so only one size need be kept in
stock to treat either upper limb.
The device should be turned around for use in the opposite arm.
