› For proper use of the orthosis it is advisable not to modify its height position once the Velcro straps are adjusted, since the fabric could tear. If you need to
adjust the height of the orthosis, first loosen the Velcro straps, re-position the orthosis at the desired height, and adjust the tension of the Velcro straps.

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:
A-Lumbosacral Back Support:
Place the orthesis around the body so that the bones are placed in the centre of the back and 3
cm above the gluteal fold, then proceed with the tightening and closure.
Velcros: Adjust the velcro closing systems to achieve the desired compression.
Elastic or crossed straps: Adjust the posterior elastic or crossed straps sticking them to the front
side by means of the front velcro fasteners.
B-Dorsolumbar Back Support:
*For dorso lumbar support, carry out the procedure as described above, then tighten the shoul-
der pins at the back towards the front, passing them under the armpit, subsequently crossing
them and carrying the ends to the abdominal wall, sticking them to each other, until the neces-
sary traction is obtained in order to achieve a tolerable retropulsion of the shoulders for the
patient
Both fasteners should be placed above the pubis lifting the abdominal wall.
*In some cases includes a removable lumbar foam cushion (heat effect) and better adaptation
of lordosis
