1.9. Contraindications

The brace is intended exclusively for contact
with intact skin.
1.10. Safety Instructions
The optimal effect of the brace is only
achieved when used correctly.
•
The brace must only be used in the intact,
complete and mechanically undamaged
condition and with complete and intact
cushioning and walers. This must be verified
by the user before each usage.
•
Opening or removing one or more belts,
as well as excessive loosening of the waler
when using the brace leads to a reduction of
the therapeutic effect of the brace and may
lead to injury.
•
The brace must not be worn over open
wounds.
•
The skin should be free of oils, grease, gels
or other debris, to prevent reactions with the
skin or the structure of the material.
•
The orthosis should fit firmly but not
too tight, so as not to restrict the blood
circulation and adversely affect nerve and
lymph vessels. Excessive compression is
therefore to be avoided.
•
Combination with other products is currently
not provided for or is to be agreed with the
manufacturer in writing.
•
The brace is not intended for single use,
but is intended for multiple use by a single
person.
•
The product as delivered is not sterile.
•
Contact your physician immediately in the
event of an allergic reaction.
•
Please note that cushioned sections can heat
up under direct sunlight. Protect the orthosis
from direct sunlight if necessary.
•
Currently there is no test for flammability.
Exercise caution when using the orthosis
in the direct vicinity of open flames such as
lighters and cigarettes.
•
The mechanical functions must only be
adjusted using the supplied tools in order to
avoid injuries and damage of the hinge.
•
When adjusting the hinge rods to the shape
of the extermity by using an orthopaedic
bending iron, you must not bend the rods in
the area of the hinge housing or the hinge
cover as this could lead to damage or break
of the hinge.
