2.1. Fitting to the patient
• Our CDS ® braces are constructed to be adjustable.
• The position of the shell components can be changed and they can be shaped.
• The hinge rods can be adapted to the shape of the extremity by using an
orthopaedic bending iron.
• The strap lengths can be adjusted to different girths and shortened if
necessary.
2.1.1. Adjusting the brace to the leg 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 leg with the aid of a bending iron.
bending iron
When adjusting the hinge rods to the shape of the extremity 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.
