5. Functionality
The ELANEE support belt supports the stomach and alleviates back pain by
taking some of the burden off the muscles of the back and pelvic floor. The fully
adjustable Velcro fastener means that you can adjust the belt to suit individual
requirements. This means that the support belt can be worn throughout the
entire pregnancy and after giving birth. Using the two additional elastic straps,
the supportive effect can be adjusted to fit personal requirements for comfort
and stability.
6. Usage Instructions
It is important that you use the right size of ELANEE support belt and that it is po-
sitioned correctly, in order to achieve the very best level of support. The graphics
and product images on the packaging indicate the correct sizing and the correct
positioning of the belt. When doing this, follow these steps:
1.
Open the support belt by undoing the Velcro fastener.
2.
Place the belt with the large surface level with the lower back and fasten the
belt by putting the right side over the left side under the stomach. When
doing this the arrow on the label should be pointing upwards.
3.
Fasten the Velcro tight enough that it still feels comfortable.
4.
Take both elastic bands into your hands simultaneously and tighten them as
evenly as possible, so that there are no folds in the fabric that could cause a
pressure sensation.
5.
Fix the elastic straps onto the Velcro pads provided, to give you a pleasant
supportive effect.
6.
If you feel that the support belt is too tight or too loose, repeat steps 1 - 5 and
change the tension of the elastic straps.
There is an application video on our website to show you how to position the belt
correctly.
7. Safety Instructions
The support belt must only be worn when standing or walking and not during
breaks or when carrying out sedentary tasks. If, while wearing the belt, you
should start to feel unwell (dizziness, high pressure) then please undo the
support belt immediately.
