3D SPACER LINER
Open the liner and wrap loosely around torso. Attach the middle Velcro strap and then the top and bottom
Velcro straps. Adjust the straps alternatively until liner is at the required tightness.
THE BOSTON LITE
Open Boston Lite Orthosis and wrap loosely around torso. Align waist rolls (bumps in center of brace) so that
they fall above the hips and below the ribs. Exert medial force on the module with your hands and force down
on the iliac crests. Tighten middle strap first, then the top and bottom.
Sit the patient upright. The edges of the brace should not be uncomfortable in any area.
The inferior anterior edges of the brace should flow into the patient’s sitting lines at the thigh when they are
flexed at 90˚. The inferior posterior edge of the brace should not be touching the firm surface on which the
patient is sitting. The anterior superior edges of the brace should flow into the axilla, as should the posterior
superior edge. Make sure that the edges of the 3D spacer liner are seen all around the whole brace. Remove
the brace from the patient and check if there are any signs of the irritation.
