FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED BY YOUR ORTHOPAEDIC TECHNICIAN OR IN ACCORDANCE

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- Ref.: C-40:
With the sling open, place the arm adjusting the elbow to the posterior end of the bag. Tighten
the velcros joining both flaps of the sling, one on the closest part of the forearm and the other
on the distal side at wrist height. One ring (slide) should remain upward facing and the other on
the internal side of the sling. Pass the suspension pin over the opposite shoulder and insert the
end through the upper slide, tense and regulate the height and flexion of the elbow.
Anti-rotational pin: Stick the pin at elbow height, subsequently surround the body and insert
the end of the pin through the internal slide, tighten and fix it using the velcro fastener.
B- Ref.: C-42 (with or without anti-rotational pin).
Without pin: Place arm, inside the bag, and insert thumb through the internal slide. Pass the
suspension pin over the opposite shoulder, tighten the clasp and regulate the arm height and
flexion of the elbow.

body then close the front clasp, tense and tighten the pin.

around the ribcage and wrap the arm again, and secure them to the chest using the Velcro
strips.
