Break-In Period
Like a new pair of shoes, ankle braces require a break-in period.
New shoes combined with a new ankle brace require an even
longer break-in period (usually 6-8 hours). Loosen the shoelaces
to reduce friction until the brace and the shoe break-in. Wear an
additional full tall sock to help reduce friction.
Proper Hinge Lubrication
The Ultra CTS™ is made of an advanced thermoplastic resin
which can occasionally produce a squeak in the hinge area.
Lubricant sprayed directly in the rivet/hinge area will stop
the squeaking.
Heat Molding to Accelerate the Break-In-Period
WARNING: Do not contact or place a hot brace against the
skin immediately after heating.
WARNING: Do not exceed the recommended temperature
and time for heating the brace.
WARNING: Only use an infrared oven or conventional
hair dryer to heat the brace. Never use a convection oven,
conventional oven, water bath, or microwave as a heat source.
Before heat molding, detach the PerformaFit™ upright. Only
heat mold the bottom of the Ultra CTS® brace which contains
the footplate and stirrup. When using an infrared oven, the
recommended temperature range for heating the brace at
is 130-149°F (54-65°C) for 3 minutes. Do not exceed the
recommended temperature and time for heating the brace in an
infrared oven. If using a conventional hair dryer, place the brace
on a flat surface and heat the brace for 3 minutes or until all sides
feel warm. Take precaution after both heating methods and let
the brace cool for at least 20 seconds before handling the brace.
Remember to always wear an absorbent full tall sock.
