2. Attaching the Tabs (C, D, E, F).
• While keeping the device in place with one hand, affix the Tabs in
the order shown to the fastening locations on the device (Fig. 2: a,
b, c, d) . The dot symbols on each Tab and fastening location
indicate the correct sequence and locations for attachment.
• • Make sure all the Tabs are tight but comfortable. If necessary,
adjust the Tabs again.
3. Attaching the DFS Strap (G).
• Ask the patient to sit down on a chair and bend the knee with the
foot flat on the floor. Move the DFS Strap behind the leg and
thread it through the D-ring (H)
(Fig. 4) .
• Detach the Alligator Clip (I) (Fig. 5a) and fasten it to the “5”
position on the DFS Strap (5b).
• While keeping the device in place with one hand, tighten the loose
end of the DFS Strap down over the Alligator Clip. When sufficiently
tight and sitting firmly against the leg, fold the DFS Strap into the
Alligator Clip.
4. Have the patient stand up and take a few steps to verify correct
positioning of the device (Fig. 3) and tightness of the DFS Strap and
Tabs.
• Determine optimal DFS Strap tension based on patient’s pain relief
feedback.
• If patient requires more or less tension with the Alligator Clip at the
“5” position, adjust the length of the DFS Strap accordingly.
• Aim for final DFS Strap placement at the “5” position since this will
give patient the ability to adjust dosing during daily life activities.
5. When final fit has been confirmed, trim the DFS Strap to the
appropriate length (5c).
Device Removal
1. Ask patient to sit down with the leg extended.
2. Remove the DFS Strap from the D-ring.
3. Unfasten the Tabs from the fastening locations on the device.
