Stabimed
pro RICE
Intended purpose
The Stabimed pro RICE is a knee support
brace without limitation of extension /
flexion.
Indications
All indications that require reinforce-
ment of the physiological stabilisation of
the knee joint such as:
• Knee instabilities
• Following meniscus injuries
• Following endoprostehtic intervention
• Osteoarthritis of the knee
Contraindications
None known at present.
Risks / Side Effects
If the aids are too tight, this can cause
local pressure sores or constriction of
blood vessels or nerves. Therefore you
should consult the doctor treating you
before you use it if the following
circumstances apply to you:
• Condition or injury of the skin in the
area of application, particularly with
infectious indications (excessive heat,
swelling or reddening)
• Paraesthesia and circulatory disorders
(e.g. as seen in diabetes, varicose veins)
• Lymph drainage disorders – equally,
swelling of soft tissue adjacent to the
area of application which is not related
to a condition
When wearing snug-fitting aids, this can
result in localised skin inflammation or
irritation that is due to mechanical
irritation of the skin (particularly in
conjunction with sweating) or due to the
composition of the material.

care to the adults and children, applying
the available information on the
measurements/sizes and necessary
functions/indications and in line with
the information provided by the

Important notes
Please ensure that you only use this
brace without its articulated joints if the
doctor treating you has told you to do so.

Fitting instructions

• Open both straps (Fig. 1). The valve is
at the top right and the straps are also
facing right.
• Bend your leg to approximately 45°.
Place the brace onto the front of the
leg so that the lower edge of the hole
for the kneecap is sitting on the lower
side of the kneecap and is positioned
centrally (Fig. 2).
• Now position both of the joints on the
brace. To do this, put the joint splints in
the small attached hook-and-loop
pockets (Fig. 3). Das „T" (TOP) befindet
sich auf dem Oberschenkel.
• Now stick the splints onto the side of
the brace. Ensure that the brace joints
are in the correct position: The middle
of the brace joints should be level with
the top of the kneecap (Fig. 4). The
joints must be positioned behind the
centre of the side of the leg and must
run parallel to each other. The joints
must be adapted to the patient's
individual leg shape by limiting them.
• Wrap both straps around the leg and
close the straps on the brace (Fig. 5).
• If the straps are too short, simply
fasten both of the additional strap
extensions on the hook-and-loop areas
at the ends of the straps for the brace
(Fig. 6). You can now wrap the straps
