Fitting instructions
ACTION TO BE PERFORMED BY A HEALTH
PROFESSIONAL BEFORE FIRST USE: SHAPE THE STAYS
OF THE LombaMum'
®
MEDICAL MATERNITY BELT TO FIT
YOUR BACK, bending them by hand to the shape
of your body.
Your belt consists of three parts :
- a lumbar part to relieve strain on your back,
- two abdominal support bands of different sizes
(one band corresponding to a waist measurement
of < 106 cm, the second corresponding to a waist
measurement of > 106 cm). Select one or other of
these bands, which will enable you to wear the belt
and effectively support your baby throughout your
pregnancy.
Adjustment of the belt
The abdominal support band (2) already in place
on the belt is the band corresponding to a waist
measurement of < 106 cm. If it is the right size
for you, go straight to the fitting instructions for
LombaMum'
®
.
If your waist measurement is greater than 106 cm:
Remove the abdominal band in place on the belt.
Replace it with the other one. Attach it to the dorsal
part of the belt using one of the two Velcro tabs.
The two labels must face the same way. The point of
the "V" on the middle of the band must be pointing
downwards.
Fitting the belt
Open one side of the belt. The point of the "V" must
be pointing downwards.
Slip your hand into the hand loop. This will help you
position and adjust the belt properly.
Place the dorsal part of the belt on your back: the
lower edge of the belt must be at the top of the
crease between the buttocks.
Fasten the belt and adjust it: the "V" must be
vertically in line with the navel.
Check that the belt is properly centred over your
spine. If it is not, adjust using the centring tabs
located on the back. These must be positioned in
the middle of each buttock.
Tighten the belt again if necessary.
It is up to each woman to find the level of tightness
that suits her so that she feels supported without
constricting her stomach.
Adjustment of additional straps
Adjust the level of support provided by the belt
depending on your activity and position by
simultaneously pulling on the additional straps.
It is also possible to change the position of the discs
located at the back:
- if they are positioned high up, it is the top of your
back that will be supported,
- if they are positioned low down, it is the bottom of
your back that will be supported,
In the case of sciatica, it is possible to provide more
active support for the painful side by adjusting the
additional strap located on the same side.
Precautions
There is no risk of dependence, even after prolonged
use.
LombaMum'
®
can be worn all day long or just
temporarily in high-risk situations.
It is up to you to choose the level of tightness that
suits your own shape and pain.
If you experience any pain, discomfort or numbness,
check the position of the belt. If the problems persist,
consult and seek advice from the professional
having prescribed or dispensed your LombaMum'
®
.

re-use the product for another patient.
