REGULATIONS
d
This article is defined as a class I medical device. A Risk
Analysis (UNE EN ISO 14971) has been carried out, min
-
imising the existing risks. Tests have been in accordance
with European Regulation UNE-EN ISO 22523 on Prosthe
-
ses and Orthoses.
INDICATIONS
Specially indicated in patients affected by kyphotic atti
-
tudes, vertebral wedging, dorsolumbar traumatisms, in
-
fectious illnesses which affect the dorsal rachides, slipped
disks, postoperative, osteoporosis and in all those cases in
which the object is the correction of the kyphotic curve, and
the antepulsion of shoulders. Some lower dorsalgias T-8,
T-12, associated with lumbalgias, require temporary immo
-
bilization (movement of the patient, domestic and work-re
-
lated mechanical efforts, etc.). In those cases in which they
partially need thoracic contention at some time of the day,
depending on the activity. The dorsal module can always
adapt upon an Evotec lumbrosacral support.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
For best therapeutic results considering different patholo
-
gies and to extend the useful life of the product, it is es-
sential to choose the correct size for each patient or user.
Excessive compression may be intolerable; adjusting the
compression to be firm yet comfortable is recommended.
If the product must be adapted, any such adjustments must
be done by an orthopaedic specialist or healthcare profes
-
sional legally certified to do so who must make sure the end
user or person responsible for fitting the product properly
understands how it works and should be used.
When fitting the product, you must adhere to the
following instructions:
Putting on the Dorso Evotec :
The dorsal piece is designed to be put on in combination
with the Evotec high and low girdle.
Once the model and the correct size for the patient are se
-
lected, we can assemble the dorsal piece with the Evotec
girdle. Prior to this, the lumbar pad must be removed from
the girdle, as it is not possible to put it on together with the
Dorso Evotec.
1-2: Place the Evotec girdle upon a smooth surface and
open it completely; then stick on the dorsal piece , with
the internal velour of the evotec and the microhook of the
Dorso Evotec, making sure that the 2 central stays of the
girdle coincide with the 2 central stays of the dorsal piece,
always starting to join from the lower part of the lumbar
girdle; the height can be regulated from a minimum of 47
cm to a maximum of 53 cm in the low model and from a
minimum of 47 cm to a maximum of 57 cm in the high
model.(see drawing).
This will allow us to have a contact and adherence area that
is large enough for both pieces to be stable together. If we
wish to increase the height, the area of adherence will be
minimal, losing solidity in the combination of both com
-
ponents.
3-4-5: Once both pieces are adhered at the desired height,
adapt it to the patient, starting by fastening the abdominal
microhook lock until the desired compression is obtained.
Then, pull the side lumboabdominal tensors until obtaining
the desired compression, fastening them to the front of the
girdle with the microhook lock.
6: Pull the straps over the shoulders and under the axilla,
crossing them over the back and up to the abdomen, join
-
ing them together with the lock system.
7-8: Regulation of the length of the straps:
At its end, together with the lock ring, it has an adhesive
system which, when removed, will leave the end of the
cinch free; the excess length can then be cut (see drawing).
Once this operation is carried out, join the end again to the
adhesive system.
9: Last, adjust the lock, joining both rotational buckles, and
stretching until hearing a click. The adjustment of this lock
must be on the central front part of the Evotec girdle.
Adaptation of the module in Evotec Forte thermoplastic
with the Dorso Evotec dorsal piece:
A
We will first joint the 2 side-fastening cinches to the
Dorsal piece.
B
We will then join the thermoplastic module to the dor-
sal piece, with the adhesive surfaces of both modules
to fasten them laterally with the 2 microhook fasten-
ing cinches attached to the thermoplastic module. The
height may be regulated from a minimum of 47 cm to a
maximum of 53 cm in the low model and of 47 cm to a
maximum of 57 cm in the high model.
C
Then adapt the Evotec girdle, clasping both compo-
nents (thermoplastic module and dorsal module), thus
proceeding to lock it, following the steps described
previously in the placement of the Dorsal piece, from
point no. 3.
