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:
B. OPL482/OPL483 models:
B1. Remove the brace from the patient and adjust the joint’s permitted degrees by moving the pins
responsible for flexion to the “FULL RANGE” position.
B2. Articulate the brace in the direction of flexion to enable the joint to be removed (including the
splints).
2-Make the modifications and adjust its shape until it comes into maximum possible contact with
the limb. Make sure that the axis of the mechanical joint coincides with that of the anatomical joint.
NOTE: Ensure that the morphology of the femoral condyles is respected: prevent the upper and
lower ends of the splints from exerting pressure on the thigh and calf. Carry out this operation on
both the internal and external joints, keeping their anatomical differences in mind.
OPL482 | OPL483:
1-Unbuckle the straps located at the top and bottom of the brace, unfastening their Velcros.
2-2. Open the 4 wraparound thigh and calf bands, unfastening their Velcros.
3-Position the brace on the back of the knee so that the joints are parallel to each other and the
mechanical axis coincides with the axis of the anatomical joint. Adjust the flexion/extension
movement range prior to fitting. To do so, lift the cover of the joint until the pins are accessible.
Remove the pins, select the required position and then reinsert them. (Flexion/extension can be
adjusted by increments of 0-15-30-60-90 degrees). Close the cover.
4-Close the 4 thigh and calf bands, attaching their Velcros to the corresponding contralateral ar-
eas.
5-Close the 2 straps located at the top and bottom of the brace, passing them through their respec-
tive buckles.
