Bauerfeind OmoTrain Manual De Instrucciones página 4

Dear client,
EN
thank you for choosing a product from Bauerfeind. OmoTrain® is a high-quality
medical product.
Please read through these instructions for use carefully and if you have any questions
contact your doctor, medical retailer or our Technical Service department.
OmoTrain® enhances control of the shoulder joint and counteracts painful rotational
movements. The anatomically contoured silicone insert may be positioned to
suit your individual needs. The insert provides intermittent compression to the
soft tissue of the joint, thus improving blood circulation. This helps break down
swellings and effusions. OmoTrain® may be used for the treatment of either the
right or the left shoulder. The successful use of OmoTrain® depends largely on your
cooperation. When used on a regular basis, OmoTrain® leads to earlier mobilization
of the injured shoulder and can provide pain relief.
OmoTrain® must be tted for the rst use by a trained specialist, otherwise we
cannot accept any liability for the product.
Indications
• Shoulder pain (associated with injury/operation)
• Shoulder wear (osteoarthritis)

Please note the following when washing your Train products:
1. For products with Velcro® straps: Remove the straps if possible, or fasten them
securely at the place provided for this purpose.
2. If possible, also remove pads/inserts and their terrycloth covers before
washing.
We recommend using a mesh bag (spin cycle: maximum of 500 revolutions per minute).
Air dry your Train product. Do not dry it in a dryer because this can compromise the
knitted fabric.
Please wash your Train product regularly so that the compression of the knitted
fabric can be retained.
