FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED BY YOUR ORTHOPAEDIC TECHNICIAN OR IN ACCORDANCE
WITH DOCTOR’S ORDERS.
In order to obtain a greater degree of therapeutic effectiveness in the different pathologies and to
prolong the life and utility of the product, it is fundamental that the correct size adequate for each
patient or user is chosen (enclosed in the packet is a diagram with all the sizes and the equivalent
in centimetres). An excess compression can produce intolerance, therefore we recommend that
the compression be regulated to an optimum degree.
To fit observe the following aspects:
Position the orthosis around the body in such a manner as the whalebones remain in the centre of
the back and 3 cm above the fold of the buttocks:
Sacrolumbar:
Fasten and adjust, holding the tabs in place with the thumb and fingers, and then fasten the Velcro
for the required compression. Finally, adjust the rear crossed strips and fasten.
Finally, shape the rear whalebones to adapt them to the morphology of the patient.
For dorsolumbar corsets, carry out the operations indicated above, and then, once the lumbar
segment has been adapted, proceed to adapt the dorsal segment, passing the straps over the
shoulders and then transferring them under the armpits and crossing on the rear face.
Pull the ends towards the lower abdominal zone and join using the Velcro fasteners. Finally, shape
the rear whalebones to adapt them to the morphology of the patient.
Both fasteners should remain above the pubis, avoiding the abdominal wall.
