2. Adjustment by the orthopaedic technician
2.1. Fitting to the patient
• Our CDS ® braces are constructed to be adjustable.
• The position of the moveable shell components can be changed and they can
be shaped.
• The hinge rods can be adapted to the shape of the extremity by bending.
• The strap lengths can be adjusted to different girths and shortened if
necessary.
2.1.1. Adjusting the brace to the arm shape by using an
orthopaedic “bending iron”
To ensure that the brace fits perfectly, the hinge rods can be adjusted to the
shape of the patient‘s arm with the aid of a bending iron.
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.
