USE AND CARE
Before applying the brace, please read these instructions completely and carefully.
Correct application is important to the proper functioning of the brace.
The pull on brace is applied by
pulling the brace on with the patella
(knee cap) cut out centered over the
knee. After the brace is on the leg,
tighten the straps firmly.
The wrap-around brace is applied
with the closures in the front of the
leg, and the patella (knee cap) cut
out centered over the front of the
knee. After the brace is on the leg,
tighten the straps firmly.
Patella Buttress Adjustment
1. To remove the buttress reach
inside the brace and gently pull
away the buttress from the inside
of the brace.
2. If the buttress is required it may
be positioned based on the patient’s
needs. Slide the buttress with hook
forward to allow it to engage on the
loop, which is on the inside of the
brace around the patella opening.
The brace may be worn with or without the patella buttress.
