Application:
Place the upper part of the brace over the shoulders like a
backpack (see fig. 3). Place the lower part of the brace around the trunk.
Place the fingers in the hand straps of the abdominal closure. Apply
equal force to both sides to pull the brace forward (see fig. 4).
4) Hook-and-loop material: Attach the right part to the top of the left part
of the abdominal closure (see fig. 5). Remove the fingers from the left
and then from the right hand strap. Ensure that the hook-and-loop sec­
tions lie flat against each other and are not in contact with clothing or
skin. Route the ends of the shoulder strap to the front around the chest
(see fig. 6) and secure the hook-and-loop closure below the chest (see
fig. 7).
5) Increasing compression: Pull the ends of the elastic straps forward
(see fig. 8) and attach them to the bottom closure (see fig. 9).

Final check:
The correct fit and proper positioning of the brace must be
checked during handover to the patient. The brace is seated correctly
when the lower edge of the brace extends just below the groin.
7) Instruct the patient: Explain to the patient how to don the brace and
ensure that it is seated correctly. Practice donning and doffing the brace
with the patient.
