1.11. Warranty
In addition to the legal warranty, we provide
a 6-month durability guarantee for the
orthosis. If properly used, this guarantees
that the orthosis will function without fault.
This excludes the padding and straps, which
are usually liable to a certain amount of
wear and tear. This kind of wear and tear
does not represent a product defect. This
manufacturer’s warranty is subject to the
condition that the orthosis is used as a medical
rehabilitation device and for no other purpose
than that described in the instructions for
use. Changes to the orthosis or the removal /
damage to the quality management seal will
invalidate the warranty.
2. Adjustment by the orthopaedic
technician
2.1. Fitting to the patient
•
Our CDS
®
braces are constructed to be
adjustable.
•
The position of the shell components can be
changed and they can be shaped.
•
The hinge rods can be adapted to the shape
of the extremity by using an orthopaedic
bending iron.
•
The strap lengths can be adjusted to
different girths and shortened if necessary.
2.1.1. Adjusting the brace to the leg
shape by using
an orthopaedic “bending iron”
If a different shape is required, the hinge
rods can be adjusted to the shape of the
patient’s leg with the aid of an orthopaedic
bending iron. Loosen the screws on the shell
components and either move or remove them.
Then adjust the hinge rods to the shape of the
extremity.
