Instructions for Use:
Please read all of the instructions before use. Use as directed by your clinician. Always follow your
facility protocol for skin care.
1. Open the cuff flaps and all
black straps.
2. Unfasten the knee cap
straps on the outside of
the leg.
3. Open the side flaps and
loosen the knobs to allow
free movement at hinges.
4. Place the splint under the
patient's leg, aligning the
knee joint with the hinges.
Start a bit high, as the splint
tends to move down during
the donning. The label on the
upper/thigh cuff should be at
the back of the leg.
5. Fasten the upper 2" cuff straps
first, then the lower straps
snuggly.
6. Install the knee cap by
attaching two 1" straps to one
side of the splint through the
D-rings. Center the cap over
the knee, adjusting the straps to
equalize the tension.

Knee Care
7. Adjust the hinges at both sides to
a slightly stretched position. Do
not overstretch. As the patient
improves over time, slowly
increase the stretch.
8. Close the side flaps that cover
and pad the hinges.
9. Ensure all straps are in place
and secure. Check by running 2
fingers between each strap and
the patient's skin. The patient
should feel a comfortable, mild
stretch but no discomfort in any
area.
10. Within 5 minutes of fitting,
touch the ligaments behind the
knee. If they have somewhat
softened, appropriate stretch
has been applied.
