2. Individual adjustments
For those patients using the
MKS
®
Osteo
for the first time it is important that
they learn how to handle it. Putting it on and taking it off should be practiced.
Wear the orthosis directly on the skin or over a tight-fitting singlet without any
creases.
It is recommended that an absorbent singlet be worn to avoid humidity caused
by excessive sweating.
To put it please follow the steps below. This will ensure reliable effectiveness.
Always make sure that it is smooth and tight fit. However, in order to prevent
constrictions along the edges it shouldn‘t be over-tightened.

Take the ready for use
MKS

correctly, i.e., flat and without any creases.
