Bort DynamicFX Back brace Manual page 10

Strap lock
If dynamics from spring tension elements are not to be applied in the acute phase, in the conservative
and postoperative phase (temporary), the strap lock can be placed in the two strap connectors of the
individual straps.
By integrating the strap lock in all three tension straps, the BORT DynamicFX Back Brace fixes the lumbar
and thoracic spine when the abdominal section and shoulder straps are correctly closed.
Insertion / replacement of the spring tension elements:
All spring tension elements are labelled by colour based upon their spring constants:
30 Newton ➡ yellow
60 Newton ➡ red
Applying the body section:
10
40 Newton ➡ white
80 Newton ➡ black
To replace the spring elements, detach the press stud closure of the spring pro­
tective pockets and push them upwards.
Open the Allen screws on both of the belt connectors using the supplied Allen
key and replace the spring tension elements if required. Re­tighten the Allen
screw afterwards.
Now pull the spring protection pockets back down and reclose the press stud
closure on the base back plate.
All 3 belts of the BORT DynamicFX Back brace should be equipped with the
same spring strength.
Before applying the base support, remove it from the base plate by detaching
the Velcro. Position the base support together with the bottom edge of the back
section level with the natal cleft.
The patient now closes the base support at the front.
50 Newton ➡ blue
