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.
