DJO DonJoy ISOFORM Postural Extension Application Instructions

BEFORE USING THE DEVICE, PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY. CORRECT APPLICATION IS VITAL TO THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE DEVICE
SIZING:
Size the Brace
Begin by measuring the circumference of the patient approximately 1" (2.5cm) above the widest
part of the hips. Then, match the patient's size to the sizing chart below. If patient's circumferential
measurement is between sizes, select the larger brace.
SIZE
S/M
L/XL
NOTE:
It is not uncommon for the patient to experience post-surgical swelling, followed by
weight loss (10-20+ lbs/4.5-9.1 kg). The Postural Extension brace is designed with two (2)
adjustable belts which can be easily sized to achieve optimal fit.
FITTING:
Prepare Brace
Prior to applying, un-hook both pull-handles and secure to the side of the belt. Open the belt by
unhooking one hook and loop side panel from the front panel. Loosen both shoulder straps at the
buckle (Figure A).
APPLICATION:
Step 1. Apply Brace
Feed one arm through the shoulder strap as if you were applying a backpack; continue with the
other arm (Fig. B)
Step 2. Position Panels
Position front/anterior panel with the bottom edge aligned with the pubic bone. Secure hook
and loop side panel to front panel (Figure C).
Step 3. Adjust Shoulder Strap
Adjust the shoulder strap length by pulling on the end of the strap. Be sure to maintain the bottom
edge of the front panel with the pubic bone and the back panel between the shoulder blades and
lower back (Figure D).
Step 4. Tighten Brace
With product in proper position, tighten brace by slipping thumbs through the holes in the pull tabs.
Pull away from body. When tightened, secure the pull tabs to the loop exterior (Figure E) .
Brace Removal
To Remove, release both pull-handles and one side of the belt. Slide the brace off the other
shoulder like removing a backpack.
Brace Re-Application
When reapplying the brace, it is easiest to guide the belt by inserting a hand in the donning
mitt pocket.
BRACE ADJUSTMENTS:
Waist Belt:
• If needed, to modify the waist belt, adjust the side panels by un-hooking the hook and loop
on the back panel and moving panels more center for a smaller waist, or closer to the edge of the back
panel for a larger waist.
Shoulder Straps:
• If needed, the extra length in the straps can be trimmed with scissors.
Back Panel:
• Length can be adjusted by loosening the two screws.
