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:

A-Lumbosacral Back Support:
Place the orthesis around the body so that the bones are placed in the centre of the back and 3 cm
above the gluteal fold, then proceed with the tightening and closure.
Velcros: Adjust the velcro closing systems to achieve the desired compression.
Crossed straps: Tighten the posterior crossed straps by means of the front velcro fastener.
B-Dorsolumbar Back Support:
For dorso lumbar support, carry out the procedure as described above, then tighten the shoulder
pins at the back towards the front, passing them under the armpit, subsequently crossing them
and carrying the ends to the abdominal wall, sticking them among each other, until the necessary
traction is obtained in order to achieve a tolerable retropulsion of the shoulders for the patient.
Both fasteners should be placed above the pubis lifting the abdominal wall.
*Includes a removable lumbar foam cushion (heat effect) and better adaptation of lordosis (in
some cases the lumbar cushion is not included).

Belt placement:
⋅ Wrap the brace around the body so the stays are in the centre at the back.
⋅ Insert your fingers in the corresponding clips on the right and left parts of the fasteners.
⋅ Press the stomach on the left side of the fastener and pull from the right until the hook can be
fastened.
Belt placement:
⋅ Insert the rear centre plate by centring on the stays at the back of the belt.

› For proper use of the orthosis it is advisable not to modify its height position once the Velcro straps are adjusted, since the fabric could tear. If you need to
adjust the height of the orthosis, first loosen the Velcro straps, re-position the orthosis at the desired height, and adjust the tension of the Velcro straps.
